Product details
Overview
IRF6618TRPBF 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 1.64 V gate threshold voltage, enabling high-frequency switching with minimal conduction and switching losses in high-current microprocessor power delivery.
For engineers reviewing the IRF6618TRPBF datasheet, IRF6618TRPBF pinout, IRF6618TRPBF application, or IRF6618TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low on-resistance at 4.5 V drive (3.4 mΩ), dual-sided cooling compatibility, <0.7 mm profile, and avalanche-rated ruggedness (210 mJ EAS) for reliable operation under transient stress in server and client VRMs.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs HEXFET® silicon in a copper-can DirectFET MT package with top-side drain and bottom-side source/gate terminals. Its layout enables dual-sided thermal interface-drain connects to PCB top-side copper while source/gate land on bottom-reducing RθJC to 1.4 °C/W and improving thermal transfer by 80% versus SO-8 equivalents.
The device is characterized for synchronous rectification in 300–1000 kHz buck converters, featuring low Qgd/Qgs2 ratio (15 nC / 4.0 nC), fast switching (tr = 71 ns, tf = 8.1 ns), and body diode with 43 ns reverse recovery time and 46 nC Qrr, minimizing shoot-through risk and dead-time sensitivity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 12 V input VRMs and 3-phase interleaved topologies. |
| RDS(on) | 2.2 mΩ @ 10 V - Enables ≤1.5 W conduction loss at 30 A continuous drain current in high-current CPU core rails. |
| Qg | 43 nC - Low gate charge supports efficient 500+ kHz PWM control with standard gate drivers (e.g., IR35201). |
| EAS | 210 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating ensures robustness against inductive switching transients in unclamped loads. |
| RθJC | 1.4 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance enables direct heatsink mounting on drain pad for high-power density designs. |
| Qrr | 46 nC - Body diode reverse recovery charge optimized to reduce cross-conduction losses during synchronous FET transitions. |
| VGS(th) | 1.64 V (typ) - Threshold voltage ensures strong turn-on at 4.5 V logic-level drive, supporting Intel VR13/VR14 compliant controllers. |
Pinout & Package
IRF6618TRPBF uses the DirectFET MT (Medium Size Can, T-Designation) package: copper-can surface-mount outline with exposed top-side drain and bottom-side source/gate terminals. Dimensions: 6.35 × 5.05 × 0.7 mm (L × W × H). Compatible with standard SMT reflow (260°C peak).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Top Metal Pad | Drain (D) | Primary high-current path; thermally and electrically connected to PCB top-layer copper pour for dual-sided cooling. |
| Bottom Left Pad | Source (S) | Low-side return node; forms low-inductance loop with gate driver ground and controller source sense. |
| Bottom Right Pad | Gate (G) | Control terminal; isolated pad layout minimizes gate loop inductance (<0.5 nH typical) for clean edge rates. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) at 4.5 V | 3.4 mΩ - Ensures full enhancement in 5 V logic-driven SyncFET applications without gate boosting. |
| Dual-sided cooling interface | Top-side drain + bottom-side source/gate - Enables simultaneous thermal interface to top heatsink and bottom PCB plane, reducing system ΔT by >30%. |
| Low Qgd/Qgs2 ratio | 15 nC / 4.0 nC - Improves Miller immunity and reduces required gate drive strength for stable high-dV/dt operation. |
| Optimized body diode | 43 ns trr, 46 nC Qrr - Minimizes reverse recovery losses and voltage spikes during hard commutation in synchronous rectification. |
| RoHS-compliant lead-free | Qualified to 260°C reflow - Supports lead-free manufacturing without derating or process modification. |

IC Role / Device Role: High-side and low-side switch in dual-phase buck, driven by integrated controller (e.g., IR35204). Use Value: 0.7 mm profile and DirectFET MT footprint allow placement beneath CPU socket, eliminating board area penalty of discrete SO-8 solutions. |
| GPU Power Delivery Module | AI Accelerator VRM |
|
Use Scenario: 12 V input, 0.7–0.9 V output, 300+ A GPU rail requiring rapid transient response and thermal headroom. IC Role / Device Role: Low-side FET in 8–12 phase design, leveraging dual-sided cooling for sustained 150 A per phase.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF6622TRPBF | 30 V, 1.5 mΩ @ 10 V, 52 nC Qg, same DirectFET MT package | Lower RDS(on) but higher gate charge increases switching loss above 600 kHz | Select when conduction loss dominates (e.g., low-frequency, high-current phases); avoid in >800 kHz designs due to Qg-driven losses. |
| SiR626DP | 30 V, 1.7 mΩ @ 10 V, 40 nC Qg, PowerPAK® SO-8 package (1.6 mm height) | Higher RθJA (45 °C/W vs. 12.5 °C/W effective with dual cooling), no top-side drain | Choose for legacy SO-8 layout reuse where dual cooling is unavailable; accept 12–15% lower power density and higher thermal margin requirement. |
Compared with IRF6618TRPBF, IRF6622TRPBF trades higher gate charge for lower on-resistance-favorable only below 600 kHz-while SiR626DP sacrifices thermal performance for footprint compatibility, limiting its use in high-power-density VRMs where junction temperature must stay below 110°C under full load.

FAQ
Is IRF6618TRPBF pin-compatible with SO-8 MOSFETs?
No. IRF6618TRPBF uses the DirectFET MT package with top-side drain and bottom-side source/gate pads-physically and electrically incompatible with SO-8 footprints. Layout requires dedicated copper pads matching the 6.35 × 5.05 mm MT outline and thermal via placement per AN-1035.
What is the maximum recommended gate drive voltage?
The absolute maximum VGS is ±20 V, but the device is fully enhanced at 10 V and operates reliably down to 4.5 V. For optimal efficiency and reliability, gate drive should be clamped between 4.5 V and 12 V-exceeding 12 V provides negligible RDS(on) improvement while increasing gate oxide stress.
Can IRF6618TRPBF be used in hard-switched PFC stages?
No. It is not rated for continuous 600 V operation or designed for PFC topologies. Its 30 V VDS rating limits use to secondary-side DC-DC conversion only. For PFC, select 600 V+ superjunction MOSFETs such as IPW65R045CP or CoolMOS™ C7 series.
Does IRF6618TRPBF require a gate resistor for stability?
Yes. A 2–5 Ω gate resistor (non-inductive, placed adjacent to the gate pad) is required to dampen ringing caused by PCB trace inductance interacting with Qgd. Without it, overshoot exceeding 20 V can occur during fast switching, risking gate oxide degradation over time.
