Product details
Overview
IRF6616 from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 40V N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in DirectFET® packaging, optimized for high-frequency synchronous rectification and buck converter applications. It delivers 3.7 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 29 nC total gate charge, and ultra-low 1.4 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, enabling high-efficiency DC-DC conversion up to 100W in server VRMs and notebook power stages.
For engineers reviewing the IRF6616 datasheet, IRF6616 pinout, IRF6616 application, or IRF6616 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-sided cooling capability, 4.6 mΩ RDS(on) at 4.5 V gate drive, 15 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C, and compatibility with standard SO-8 PCB footprints while achieving <0.7 mm profile height.
Technical Context
The IRF6616 employs trench-gated HEXFET® silicon combined with copper-clad DirectFET® packaging to minimize both conduction loss (via low RDS(on)) and switching loss (via low Qg, Qgd, and package inductance). Its gate threshold voltage of 1.8 V (typ.) enables robust 4.5 V logic-level drive in secondary-side synchronous rectifiers.
Thermal performance is enhanced by direct top-side (Drain) and bottom-side (Source) thermal paths-enabling 80% lower junction-to-ambient thermal resistance versus SO-8 equivalents when mounted on double-sided cooled PCBs. The body diode exhibits 33 nC reverse recovery charge and 15 ns trr, supporting fast commutation in hard-switched topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V maximum - supports 30 V bus systems with sufficient voltage headroom for transient spikes |
| RDS(on) @ 10 V | 3.7 mΩ typical - enables <1 W conduction loss at 15 A in 12 V input buck converters |
| RDS(on) @ 4.5 V | 4.6 mΩ typical - ensures stable operation with 5 V or 4.5 V gate drivers in synchronous rectification |
| Qg total | 29 nC typical - reduces gate drive power and enables >1 MHz switching in high-density converters |
| Qgd | 9.4 nC typical - minimizes Miller-induced switching delay and improves dv/dt immunity |
| RthJC | 1.4 °C/W typical - allows >89 W power dissipation with modest heatsinking at TC = 25°C |
| VGS(th) | 1.8 V typical - ensures reliable turn-on with logic-level controllers and avoids false triggering |
Pinout & Package
IRF6616 uses the DirectFET® M package: ultra-thin (0.7 mm max), top-side Drain-exposed copper can, bottom-side Source-exposed copper pad, and dual-side thermal interface. Dimensions: 6.25 × 4.80 × 0.70 mm (L × W × H), compatible with SO-8 layout footprints.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Top Metal (Drain) | Drain terminal (D) | Exposed copper surface on top - primary heat path to heatsink or thermal plane above PCB |
| Bottom Metal (Source) | Source terminal (S) | Exposed copper surface on bottom - primary heat path to PCB copper and thermal vias below |
| Side Pad (Gate) | Gate terminal (G) | Edge-mounted solderable pad - low-inductance gate connection with minimal loop area |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-sided cooling | Enables simultaneous top- and bottom-side thermal extraction, reducing effective RthJA to 12.5 °C/W on optimized boards |
| Ultra-low package inductance | Minimizes switching ringing and EMI in >500 kHz converters due to short, symmetric source/gate return paths |
| Logic-level gate drive | Guaranteed turn-on at 4.5 V with 4.6 mΩ RDS(on), eliminating need for gate boosters in 5 V control domains |
| RoHS-compliant, lead-free | Meets JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profile; compatible with vapor-phase, IR, and convection soldering per AN-1035 |
Applications
| Server VRM Secondary Side | Notebook CPU Core Power |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Synchronous rectification in multiphase 12 V → 1.0–1.8 V VRMs powering Intel/AMD CPUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switch in synchronous buck stage, operating at 300–600 kHz with 4.5 V gate drive. Use Value: 3.7 mΩ RDS(on) and 29 nC Qg reduce conduction + switching losses by ~22% vs. SO-8 alternatives, improving full-load efficiency to >92%. | Use Scenario: Single-phase or dual-phase core power delivery in ultrabooks with tight height constraints. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-current (15 A continuous) low-side FET in compact 12 V → 1.2 V buck converter. Use Value: 0.7 mm profile enables stacking under thin heat pipes; dual-sided cooling maintains TJ < 105°C at 100W output without external heatsink. |
| Telecom DC-DC Modules | Industrial PoL Converters |
Use Scenario: 48 V input → 3.3/5 V isolated or non-isolated point-of-load converters in telecom line cards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side synchronous rectifier in active clamp forward or LLC resonant converters. Use Value: 40 V VDS rating provides margin over 36 V nominal bus; 33 nC Qrr ensures clean body-diode commutation during dead-time. | Use Scenario: High-reliability 24 V → 3.3 V/5 V PoL supplies in programmable logic controllers and motor drives. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side high-frequency switch in non-isolated buck regulators requiring >90% efficiency at 500 kHz.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF6622TR1PBF | Same DirectFET® M package, but 30 V VDS, 2.8 mΩ RDS(on) @ 10 V, higher Qg (35 nC) | Better for ≤24 V input systems where lower RDS(on) outweighs reduced voltage margin | Select when system bus voltage is ≤28 V and lowest conduction loss is prioritized over avalanche robustness |
| SiR626DP-T1-GE3 | SO-8 package, 40 V VDS, 3.8 mΩ RDS(on) @ 10 V, 32 nC Qg, 2.5 °C/W RthJC | Lacks dual-sided cooling; requires larger PCB copper area or external heatsink for same power handling | Choose when legacy SO-8 layout reuse is mandatory and thermal budget allows higher RthJA |
Compared with IRF6622TR1PBF and SiR626DP-T1-GE3, the IRF6616 uniquely balances 40 V rating, sub-4 mΩ RDS(on), and 1.4 °C/W thermal resistance in a 0.7 mm profile-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-efficiency 12–36 V synchronous buck designs where thermal headroom is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRF6616 at 70°C ambient temperature?
The IRF6616 supports 19 A continuous drain current at TA = 70°C with proper PCB copper area and airflow. This rating assumes surface mounting on a 1 in² copper board in still air, per datasheet Figure 3 and Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Derating is linear at 1.8 W/°C above 70°C ambient.
Does IRF6616 require a gate resistor for stability in 500 kHz switching applications?
Yes-a 2–10 Ω gate resistor is recommended to dampen potential oscillation caused by PCB trace inductance interacting with the device's 9.4 nC Qgd and low package inductance. Layout best practices include minimizing gate loop area and using a dedicated ground pour beneath the gate pad, as detailed in Application Note AN-1035.
Can IRF6616 be used in avalanche-rated circuits?
Yes-the IRF6616 is rated for 150 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) at ID = 15 A, with guaranteed ruggedness per JEDEC JESD24-11. It is suitable for unclamped inductive switching in synchronous rectifiers where body diode recovery must absorb stored inductor energy, provided peak VDS remains ≤40 V.
Is IRF6616 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes-IRF6616 is RoHS-compliant and qualified for standard lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020. Peak temperature tolerance is 260°C for 30 seconds. Successful assembly requires adherence to Infineon's DirectFET®-specific guidelines in AN-1035, including preheat ramp rates and soak time to prevent delamination.
