What are the key features of IRLR8256PBF?
- 5.7mΩ maximum RDS(on) at 81A continuous drain current minimizes conduction losses in high-current synchronous rectifier stages
- 25V drain-source breakdown voltage with 86mJ avalanche energy rating provides robust protection against inductive switching transients
- Integrated body diode enables synchronous rectification without an external Schottky diode, reducing component count and BOM cost
- TO-252AA (DPAK) surface-mount package with drain-connected tab enables efficient PCB heat spreading without an external heatsink
- RoHS-compliant (PBF) construction meets global environmental directives for automotive and industrial product certification
What is IRLR8256PBF used for?
The IRLR8256PBF is optimized for synchronous buck converter low-side switch positions in 12V automotive power modules, where its 5.7mΩ RDS(on) and 81A rating minimize resistive losses at switching currents above 30A. DC motor drive H-bridge stages in power tools, automotive seat and window actuators, and industrial conveyor drives also benefit from its high avalanche energy rating and fast body diode recovery. Battery management systems (BMS) for 12V–24V lithium-ion packs use it as the main charge/discharge switch to handle peak pulse currents without thermal runaway.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the RDS(on) and continuous drain current rating of the IRLR8256PBF?
The IRLR8256PBF has a maximum drain-source on-resistance (RDS(on)) of 5.7mΩ at a continuous drain current rating of 81A. This ultra-low on-resistance makes it one of the lowest conduction-loss 25V N-channel MOSFETs available in the DPAK package, ideal for high-current synchronous rectifier and load switch applications.
How does the 86mJ avalanche energy rating of the IRLR8256PBF protect motor drive circuits?
When an H-bridge switches off an inductive motor load, the collapsing field generates voltage spikes that can exceed the 25V drain-source breakdown. The IRLR8256PBF can absorb 86mJ of unclamped inductive switching (UIS) energy per event, protecting against single-pulse flyback transients at currents up to 40A without requiring an external TVS or Zener clamp on most motor loads below 100mH.
What switching frequency is the IRLR8256PBF suitable for in a 12V synchronous buck converter?
The IRLR8256PBF is suitable for synchronous buck converters operating at switching frequencies from 100 kHz to 400 kHz in 12V-input, 5V-output designs. Above 500 kHz, gate charge losses (Qg approximately 50nC) begin to dominate efficiency, so a lower RDS(on) device with smaller gate charge would be preferred for frequencies above 1 MHz.
Can the IRLR8256PBF be driven directly from a 3.3V logic-level gate signal?
The IRLR8256PBF achieves its specified 5.7mΩ RDS(on) at a gate voltage (VGS) of 10V. At 3.3V VGS the on-resistance rises to approximately 25–40mΩ, significantly increasing conduction losses at currents above 20A. A gate driver capable of delivering at least 4.5V to 10V drive is recommended to fully enhance the MOSFET and exploit its low RDS(on) in synchronous rectifier applications.
