Product details
Overview
CSD16556Q5B from Texas Instruments is a 25-V N-channel NexFET™ power MOSFET in an 8-pin VSON-CLIP (DNK) package, optimized for synchronous rectification in high-current DC/DC converters. It delivers 0.9 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and 30 A, supports 100-A continuous drain current (package-limited), and features ultralow gate charge (Qg = 36 nC) for high-efficiency point-of-load applications in telecom and computing systems.
For engineers reviewing the CSD16556Q5B datasheet, CSD16556Q5B pinout, CSD16556Q5B application, or CSD16556Q5B equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.3°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, avalanche-rated construction (EAS = 530 mJ), SON 5 mm × 6 mm footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts, and verified performance under 125°C case temperature conditions.
Technical Context
This device employs a silicon-limited trench-gate process enabling sub-1-mΩ on-resistance while maintaining robust switching dynamics: Qgd/Qg ratio of 33% (12/36 nC) minimizes Miller-induced turn-off delay, and low output capacitance (Coss = 2270 pF typ) reduces switching losses in hard-switched topologies. Its transconductance of 191 S ensures stable gate drive control across temperature.
The CSD16556Q5B integrates a fast-recovery body diode (trr = 41 ns, Qrr = 84 nC) and operates within –55°C to 150°C junction range. Thermal design leverages direct copper clip construction-confirmed by RθJC = 1.3°C/W max-to enable high-power density without external heatsinking in properly designed 2-oz copper pads.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infineon BSC010N04LS6 | RDS(on) = 1.0 mΩ @ 4.5 V; Qg = 38 nC; TO-263-7 package (larger footprint, higher RθJA) | Higher thermal resistance (RθJA ≈ 45°C/W vs. 50°C/W for CSD16556Q5B on same board) limits power density | Preferred where through-hole assembly or legacy layout reuse is required; not drop-in for SON 5×6 space-constrained designs |
| Vishay SiR626DP | RDS(on) = 0.85 mΩ @ 10 V; Qg = 42 nC; PowerPAK® 5×6 package with similar footprint but different pinout (G-D-S arrangement) | Higher Qg increases gate drive loss; requires PCB redesign due to non-identical terminal mapping | Consider when marginally lower RDS(on) justifies re-layout and driver recalibration; not pin-compatible with CSD16556Q5B |
Compared with BSC010N04LS6 and SiR626DP, the CSD16556Q5B offers the best balance of ultra-low Qgd/Qg ratio (33%), industry-leading RθJC, and validated 5×6 mm SON layout compatibility-making it optimal for new high-frequency, high-density POL designs where thermal and switching loss budgets are most constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for the CSD16556Q5B at 125°C case temperature?
The CSD16556Q5B supports 40 A continuous drain current at TC = 125°C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derated value reflects thermal limitations of the VSON-CLIP package under elevated ambient conditions and must be used in thermal design calculations alongside its 1.3°C/W RθJC to ensure junction temperature remains ≤150°C. The CSD16556Q5B maintains 0.9 mΩ RDS(on) at this condition only when VGS = 10 V and ID = 30 A per test condition.
Does the CSD16556Q5B have a built-in Schottky diode or require external body diode optimization?
The CSD16556Q5B uses a planar silicon MOSFET structure with an integrated body diode-not a Schottky-characterized by VSD = 0.8–1.0 V at 30 A and trr = 41 ns. Its reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 84 nC) and fast recovery time are optimized for synchronous rectification, eliminating need for external diodes in standard buck topologies. However, careful gate timing is required to avoid cross-conduction, as the CSD16556Q5B body diode does not replace active synchronous control.
Can the CSD16556Q5B be used with 3.3-V gate drive in high-efficiency applications?
Yes-the CSD16556Q5B specifies RDS(on) = 1.2 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V and ID = 30 A, making it functional with 3.3-V logic-level gate drivers. However, conduction loss increases ~33% versus 10-V drive (1.2 mΩ vs. 0.9 mΩ), and Qg remains 36 nC, so gate drive power is unchanged. For highest efficiency, 5-V or 10-V drive is recommended; the CSD16556Q5B threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 1.4 V typ) ensures full enhancement at 3.3 V but with reduced margin for noise immunity.
What is the recommended PCB land pattern for thermal performance of the CSD16556Q5B?
Texas Instruments recommends a minimum 1-inch² (6.45 cm²) 2-oz copper pad connected to the exposed drain paddle for optimal thermal performance. The CSD16556Q5B datasheet (SLPS432C, Section 7.2) specifies a recommended stencil pattern with 0.25-mm aperture thickness and 80% area ratio for solder paste deposition. Thermal vias (≥8×0.3-mm diameter, filled or capped) beneath the pad are strongly advised to transfer heat to inner layers or backside copper, targeting ≤50°C/W RθJA in production boards.
Is the CSD16556Q5B suitable for automotive applications per AEC-Q101 qualification?
No-the CSD16556Q5B is not AEC-Q101 qualified. It is rated for industrial temperature range (–55°C to 150°C) and intended for networking, telecom, and computing applications. While its absolute maximum ratings meet some automotive voltage/current requirements, TI does not certify or guarantee its reliability for automotive use. For automotive-grade alternatives, consult TI's AEC-Q101-qualified NexFET™ portfolio-CSD16556Q5B must not be deployed in safety-critical or automotive production without additional qualification testing.
