The IRF8721PbF incorporates the latest HEXFET Power MOSFET Silicon Technology into the
industry standard SO-8 package The IRF8721PbF has been optimized for parameters that are
critical in synchronous buck operation including Rds(on) and gate charge to reduce both conduc-
tion and switching losses. The reduced total losses make this product ideal for high efficiency
DC-DC converters that power the latest generation of processors for Notebook and Netcom
applications.
