Product details
Overview
IRF6623 from Infineon Technologies is a 20 V, 5.7 mΩ (at VGS = 10 V) N-channel Power MOSFET in DirectFET® ST package, optimized for high-frequency synchronous buck converters in CPU core power delivery. It delivers ultra-low gate charge (11 nC typ.), low-profile height (<0.7 mm), and dual-sided cooling capability for use in space-constrained, thermally demanding DC-DC applications.
For engineers reviewing the IRF6623 datasheet, IRF6623 pinout, IRF6623 application, or IRF6623 equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) at 4.5 V (9.7 mΩ), Qg vs. switching loss trade-off, thermal resistance to PCB (1.0 °C/W), and compatibility with vapor-phase reflow per AN-1035.
Technical Context
The IRF6623 employs trench-gate HEXFET silicon combined with copper-clip DirectFET ST packaging to minimize parasitic inductance and maximize thermal conduction through both top and bottom metal surfaces. Its gate threshold voltage (1.55–2.45 V) and negative temperature coefficient of RDS(on) support stable parallel operation in multiphase VRMs.
Designed specifically for 12 V input synchronous buck converters powering modern CPUs, it balances low conduction loss (RDS(on) = 4.4 mΩ typ. at 10 V) and low switching loss (Qgd = 4.0 nC, Ciss = 1360 pF) under high di/dt conditions (100 A/µs avalanche rating).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 20 V - Supports 12 V bus input with margin for transient overshoot in CPU core regulators. |
| RDS(on) @ 10 V | 4.4 mΩ (typ.) / 5.7 mΩ (max) - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 15 A continuous drain current. |
| Qg | 11 nC (typ.) - Reduces gate drive power and enables efficient operation above 1 MHz switching frequency. |
| RθJ-PCB | 1.0 °C/W - Enables direct thermal coupling to PCB copper, critical for dual-sided cooling in thin-profile modules. |
| ID @ TC = 25°C | 55 A - Sustains high pulsed load currents typical during CPU burst-mode operation. |
| Qgd | 4.0 nC - Limits Miller-induced shoot-through risk in high-side FET position of synchronous buck stage. |
| VGS(th) | 1.55–2.45 V - Ensures reliable turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V gate drivers while avoiding false triggering. |
Pinout & Package
IRF6623 uses the DirectFET® ST (Small Size Can, T-Designation) package - a surface-mount, copper-clip, top- and bottom-cooled metal-can structure measuring 4.75 × 3.70 × 0.26 mm (L × W × H), with no plastic molding compound. It features three terminals: Source (S), Drain (D), and Gate (G), arranged in a single-row layout compatible with MICRO-8 footprint geometries.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| S (Source) | Power return path and body diode anode | Connected to ground plane or low-side switch node; serves as primary thermal interface to PCB via bottom metal pad. |
| D (Drain) | Main power output path and body diode cathode | Connected to input bus (12 V); top-side metal surface provides secondary thermal path to heatsink or adjacent copper layer. |
| G (Gate) | Control terminal for channel modulation | Low-capacitance input (Ciss = 1360 pF) requiring minimal drive strength; isolated by 20 V max rating. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| DirectFET ST packaging | 0.7 mm profile + dual-sided cooling reduces RθJA by 80% versus SO-8, enabling >50% higher power density. |
| Ultra-low Qgd/Qg ratio | 36% (4.0/11 nC) - Minimizes Miller plateau duration and improves hard-switching robustness in high-dV/dt environments. |
| Body diode trr | 20–30 ns - Supports fast synchronous rectification without external Schottky replacement in buck converters. |
| RDS(on) tempco | Negative coefficient - Enables inherent current sharing in paralleled configurations without external ballasting. |
| Avalanche rated | EAS = 160 mJ (TJ = 25°C) - Withstands unclamped inductive energy during transient fault conditions in VRM stages. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF6616 | RDS(on) = 6.7 mΩ @ 10 V; Qg = 13 nC; same DirectFET ST package | Higher conduction loss but improved gate charge linearity for analog gate drive schemes | Prefer when gate drive voltage varies widely (3–10 V) and RDS(on) margin >15% is acceptable. |
| SiR626DP | RDS(on) = 5.0 mΩ @ 10 V; Qg = 12.5 nC; PowerPAK® 1212-8 package (0.9 mm height) | Higher profile limits dual-sided cooling; slightly better RDS(on) but higher Ciss (1520 pF) | Choose only if existing layout accommodates taller package and lower Ciss is not required for >1 MHz operation. |
Compared with IRF6616 and SiR626DP, the IRF6623 offers the lowest RDS(on) × Qg figure-of-merit (62.7 mΩ·nC) among DirectFET ST devices, making it optimal for high-efficiency, high-frequency CPU core supplies where both conduction and switching losses must be minimized simultaneously.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-to-source voltage for IRF6623?
The absolute maximum VGS rating is ±20 V. Operation beyond this risks permanent gate oxide damage. For reliable long-term use, gate drive should be limited to 10–15 V for full enhancement, with transient spikes clamped below 18 V using Zener protection or gate resistors sized per AN-1035 recommendations.
Can IRF6623 be used in parallel configurations?
Yes - its negative RDS(on) temperature coefficient (−5.4 mV/°C for VGS(th)) and matched threshold voltage distribution enable stable current sharing across paralleled units without external source resistors, provided PCB layout symmetry and thermal coupling are maintained per DirectFET mounting guidelines.
Does IRF6623 require special soldering processes?
No special process is required, but successful assembly depends on following Infineon Application Note AN-1035: stencil aperture design (0.12 mm thickness, 0.35 mm openings), peak reflow temperature (260°C max, 10 sec), and vapor-phase or convection profiles validated for DirectFET ST's copper-clip construction and low-mass thermal mass.
Is the body diode suitable for reverse recovery in synchronous rectification?
Yes - the body diode has trr = 20–30 ns and Qrr = 12–18 nC at TJ = 25°C, enabling clean commutation in synchronous buck topologies up to 1 MHz. However, for highest efficiency above 500 kHz, external Schottky clamping may still be used to further reduce recovery loss.
