Product details
Overview
IRF6617TRPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 30V N-channel power MOSFET in DirectFET® ST package, optimized for synchronous buck converters in CPU core DC-DC applications. It delivers RDS(on) = 8.1 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V, Qg = 11 nC (typ.), and ultra-low 0.7 mm profile with dual-sided cooling capability.
For engineers reviewing the IRF6617TRPBF datasheet, IRF6617TRPBF pinout, IRF6617TRPBF application, or IRF6617TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include low gate charge for high-frequency switching, sub-1 mm height for space-constrained VRMs, and validated thermal performance under double-sided PCB cooling.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs trench-gate HEXFET® silicon and DirectFET® ST packaging to minimize conduction and switching losses simultaneously. Its RDS(on)–Qg trade-off is specifically tuned for control-FET operation in 30V-input, high-current synchronous buck stages powering modern CPUs.
The device features low Ciss (1300 pF), Coss (430 pF), and Crss (160 pF), enabling fast switching with reduced EMI and dv/dt-induced shoot-through risk. Body diode trr = 16–24 ns and Qrr = 7.2–11 nC support efficient synchronous rectification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Rated for 5–12 V input rails with margin against transient overshoot in server/desktop VRMs. |
| RDS(on) max | 8.1 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 15 A, critical for >90% efficiency at 100+ A loads. |
| Qg typ. | 11 nC - Reduces gate drive power and allows use of low-power drivers in multi-phase controllers. |
| Package Height | 0.7 mm - Fits under low-profile heatsinks and enables stacked PCB layouts in thin computing modules. |
| RθJC | 3.0 °C/W - Confirmed thermal path from junction to case via copper substrate, enabling direct thermal interface on both sides. |
| trr | 16–24 ns - Limits reverse recovery energy loss during dead-time, improving light-load efficiency. |
| ID @ TC = 25°C | 55 A - Supports high peak current demands in transient load steps without thermal derating. |
Pinout & Package
IRF6617TRPBF uses the DirectFET® ST (Small Size Can, T-Designation) package: 4.8 × 3.8 × 0.7 mm footprint, metal-can construction with top-side drain, bottom-side source, and edge-mounted gate terminal. Dual-sided thermal interface enabled by exposed copper top (Drain) and bottom (Source) pads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Top Metal Pad | Drain (D) | Primary high-current output node; serves as thermal interface to heatsink or top-side copper pour. |
| Bottom Metal Pad | Source (S) | Low-impedance return path and thermal interface to PCB ground plane; electrically tied to source pin. |
| Edge Terminal | Gate (G) | Control input with low inductance; positioned for short trace routing to driver IC to minimize ringing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| DirectFET® ST Packaging | 0.7 mm profile with dual-sided cooling - reduces thermal resistance by 80% vs. SO-8, enabling higher power density in VRMs. |
| Optimized RDS(on)/Qg Ratio | 8.1 mΩ / 11 nC - balances low conduction loss and fast switching for 300–1000 kHz CPU core converters. |
| Low Crss | 160 pF - minimizes Miller effect, improving gate drive stability and reducing required driver current. |
| High Cdv/dt Immunity | Tested per JEDEC JESD22-A114 - withstands rapid voltage transients common in multiphase buck converter nodes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-frequency synchronous buck control-FET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF6627TRPBF | RDS(on) = 5.2 mΩ @ 10 V, Qg = 17 nC, same ST package | Lower RDS(on) but higher gate charge increases driver loss and slows switching | Preferred when conduction loss dominates (e.g., low-frequency, high-current designs); less suitable for >800 kHz operation. |
| SiR626DP-T1-GE3 | RDS(on) = 7.0 mΩ @ 10 V, Qg = 13.5 nC, PowerPAK® SO-8 package (1.6 mm height) | Higher profile limits dual-sided cooling; 2× thermal resistance vs. DirectFET ST | Acceptable where board height >1.0 mm is available and existing SO-8 layout reuse is prioritized over thermal optimization. |
Compared with IRF6627TRPBF and SiR626DP-T1-GE3, the IRF6617TRPBF uniquely balances low Qg, ultra-thin profile, and validated dual-sided cooling-making it the optimal choice for space- and thermally constrained high-frequency CPU/GPU VRMs where switching loss and board thickness are primary constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gate drive voltage for IRF6617TRPBF?
The absolute maximum VGS rating is ±20 V, but the device is characterized and optimized for 10 V gate drive in synchronous buck applications. Driving above 12 V yields diminishing RDS(on) improvement while increasing gate oxide stress and driver power dissipation. For 4.5 V logic-level drive, RDS(on) rises to 10.3 mΩ - acceptable only in low-duty-cycle or low-current phases.
Can IRF6617TRPBF be used in parallel configurations?
Yes - its positive RDS(on) temperature coefficient (25 mV/°C) ensures inherent current sharing across paralleled units. Layout symmetry, matched gate trace lengths, and individual gate resistors (≥1 Ω) are required to suppress oscillation. Thermal coupling via shared heatsink or copper plane further improves balance under transient loads.
Is IRF6617TRPBF suitable for hard-switched PFC stages?
No - it is not rated or characterized for continuous 600 V operation or avalanche energy handling required in boost PFC. Its 30 V VDS rating and 120 mJ EAS are designed for low-voltage, high-frequency buck topologies only. Using it in PFC violates absolute maximum ratings and risks catastrophic failure.
How does the DirectFET ST package affect PCB layout versus SO-8?
DirectFET ST requires a custom land pattern with isolated top-side drain pad (connected to output net) and bottom-side source pad (connected to ground/power plane). Unlike SO-8, no through-hole vias are needed for thermal relief - instead, thermal pads must be fully exposed and soldered to matching copper areas on both board sides. Stencil aperture design follows AN-1035 guidelines to ensure void-free solder joints.
