Product details
Overview
IRF6618TR1PBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 30V N-channel DirectFET™ power MOSFET optimized for synchronous buck converter high-side and low-side (SyncFET) operation in CPU core DC-DC converters. It delivers 2.2 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 43 nC total gate charge, and 1.4 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance in an ultra-low-profile MT package (<0.7 mm). Its dual-sided cooling capability supports high-current microprocessor power delivery.
For engineers reviewing the IRF6618TR1PBF datasheet, IRF6618TR1PBF pinout, IRF6618TR1PBF application, or IRF6618TR1PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include conduction loss (RDS(on) @ 4.5 V = 3.4 mΩ), switching efficiency (Qgd = 15 nC), thermal performance under double-sided cooling, and compatibility with SO-8 footprint layouts.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs HEXFET® silicon in a copper-can DirectFET™ MT package with top-side drain and bottom-side source/gate terminals - enabling simultaneous PCB-side and heatsink-side thermal extraction. Its gate threshold voltage (1.64 V typ.) and low Qgs2/Qgd ratio support fast, controlled turn-on in high-frequency (>500 kHz) synchronous rectification.
The device is characterized for clamped inductive switching with 24 A IAS, 210 mJ EAS, and 43 ns trr body diode recovery. Its Ciss = 5640 pF and Crss = 570 pF values are specified at VDS = 15 V, supporting stable gate drive design in high-dv/dt environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V maximum - defines safe operating voltage ceiling in 12 V input bus and 3-phase VRM applications |
| RDS(on) | 2.2 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V - enables <1 W conduction loss at 30 A output current in SyncFET position |
| Qg | 43 nC total - determines gate driver power requirement and switching transition time in 500–1000 kHz converters |
| RθJC | 1.4 °C/W - quantifies thermal path efficiency from junction to case, critical for double-sided cooling implementation |
| tr/tf | 71 ns / 8.1 ns - defines minimum controllable pulse width and EMI generation profile during hard switching |
| VGS(th) | 1.64 V typical - ensures reliable enhancement-mode turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V gate drivers |
| Qrr | 46 nC - sets reverse recovery loss budget when used as low-side FET with body diode commutation |
Pinout & Package
IRF6618TR1PBF uses the DirectFET™ MT (Medium Size Can, T-Designation) package: copper can with top-side drain (D), bottom-side source (S) and gate (G) terminals; 6.35 × 5.05 mm footprint; 0.676 mm max height; RoHS-compliant lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Top metal surface | Drain (D) | Primary high-current path; thermally coupled to heatsink or VRM top-side thermal pad |
| Bottom left pad | Source (S) | Power return node; electrically and thermally connected to PCB ground plane |
| Bottom right pad | Gate (G) | Control input; requires low-inductance routing to minimize ringing and overshoot |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) × Qg figure of merit | 94.6 mΩ·nC - minimizes combined conduction and switching losses in high-frequency VRMs |
| Dual-sided cooling interface | 1.4 °C/W RθJC + 1.0 °C/W RθJ-PCB - enables >80% thermal resistance reduction vs. SO-8 packages |
| SO-8 footprint compatibility | 6.35 × 5.05 mm outline - allows drop-in layout reuse without redesigning power stage PCBs |
| High dv/dt immunity | Crss/Ciss = 0.10 - suppresses false turn-on during high-slew-rate switching transitions |
| Optimized for SyncFET sockets | Qgd/Qg = 35% - balances speed and shoot-through robustness in synchronous buck topologies |
Applications
| CPU Core VRM | GPU Power Delivery |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF6622TR1PBF | Higher RDS(on) (3.0 mΩ @ 10 V), same Qg (43 nC), identical MT package | Suitable for lower-current VRMs where thermal margin exceeds 15°C | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs 36% higher conduction loss at 30 A |
| SiR626DP-T1-GE3 | Lower Qg (34 nC), slightly higher RDS(on) (2.5 mΩ @ 10 V), PowerPAK® SO-8 package | Limited to single-sided cooling; requires larger PCB area for equivalent thermal performance | Choose when existing SO-8 layout must be retained and peak current ≤25 A |
Compared with IRF6618TR1PBF, IRF6622TR1PBF trades conduction efficiency for cost, while SiR626DP-T1-GE3 sacrifices thermal performance for layout compatibility - making the IRF6618TR1PBF optimal for space-constrained, high-efficiency, dual-cooled VRMs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRF6618TR1PBF at 70°C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current at TC = 70°C is 170 A, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table under "ID @ TC = 25°C" with linear derating applied. This rating assumes proper double-sided cooling and PCB copper area per AN-1035 layout guidelines.
Does IRF6618TR1PBF require a negative gate voltage to ensure full turn-off?
No. With a gate threshold voltage of 1.64 V (typical) and guaranteed turn-off at VGS = 0 V, IRF6618TR1PBF operates reliably as an enhancement-mode device using 0 V / 5 V or 0 V / 10 V gate drive. Negative gate bias is not required or recommended.
Can IRF6618TR1PBF be used in parallel configurations?
Yes - its positive RDS(on) temperature coefficient (23 mV/°C breakdown voltage drift) and matched threshold voltage distribution support stable current sharing. Parallel operation requires symmetrical PCB layout, matched gate drive impedance, and shared thermal interface to maintain <5°C inter-device ΔT.
Is the IRF6618TR1PBF RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes. The device is RoHS-compliant and lead-free qualified for 260°C reflow per J-STD-020. Material content documentation confirms compliance with EU Directive 2011/65/EU and absence of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and chlorine-based compounds.
