Product details
Overview
IRF6635 from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 30V N-channel Power MOSFET in DirectFET® MX package, optimized as a SyncFET in high-frequency synchronous buck converters for CPU core power delivery. It delivers 1.3 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 47 nC total gate charge, and ultra-low 1.4 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance with dual-sided cooling capability.
For engineers reviewing the IRF6635 datasheet, IRF6635 pinout, IRF6635 application, or IRF6635 equivalent, key selection criteria include low-profile thermal performance (<0.7 mm height), gate charge minimization for 500 kHz+ switching, and body diode recovery robustness (Qrr = 48 nC, trr = 20 ns) in high-current DC-DC stages.
Technical Context
The IRF6635 employs trench-gated HEXFET silicon in a copper-can DirectFET MX package with top-side drain and bottom-side source/gate terminals - enabling simultaneous PCB-side and heatsink-side thermal paths. Its gate threshold voltage (1.8 V typ.) and steep transconductance (45 S) support precise gate drive control in digitally regulated VRMs.
This device is characterized for clamped inductive switching at VDD = 15 V, IAS = 25 A, and operates within a -40°C to +150°C junction range. Avalanche energy rating (EAS = 500 mJ) and high Cdv/dt immunity ensure reliability during transient load steps in microprocessor power rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V max - supports 12 V input bus with margin for ringing and overshoot in point-of-load converters |
| RDS(on) | 1.3 mΩ @ 10 V - enables <1 W conduction loss at 32 A continuous drain current |
| Qg | 47 nC - reduces gate driver power demand and enables efficient 1–2 MHz operation |
| RθJC | 1.4 °C/W - allows direct thermal coupling to heatsink or copper plane without thermal interface material |
| Qrr | 48 nC - limits reverse recovery losses and EMI generation during high-dI/dt transitions |
| tr/tf | 13 ns / 8.3 ns - supports fast edge rates while maintaining controllable dV/dt in synchronous rectification |
| ID (TC=25°C) | 200 A - defines safe continuous current under ideal heatsinking conditions |
Pinout & Package
IRF6635 uses the DirectFET® MX outline: a copper-can, double-sided cooling package with footprint compatible with SO-8 layouts but only 0.7 mm profile. Drain is exposed on the top surface; Source and Gate are soldered to the PCB via bottom-side terminals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Top Surface (Drain) | High-current power output node | Directly bonded to heatsink or thermal pad - primary path for >90% of heat dissipation |
| Bottom Pad (Source) | Reference node for gate drive and current return | Provides low-inductance source connection and serves as ground reference for gate driver ICs |
| Bottom Pad (Gate) | Control terminal for channel modulation | Minimizes gate loop inductance (<0.5 nH) to suppress oscillation during hard switching |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-sided cooling architecture | Reduces effective thermal resistance by 80% vs. standard SO-8 MOSFETs - enables 2× power density in VRM designs |
| Ultra-low Qgd/Qg ratio (17/47 nC) | Improves Miller immunity and enables stable operation with minimal gate resistor damping |
| Optimized for SyncFET socket | Matches gate drive timing and conduction characteristics of companion high-side FETs in integrated VRMs |
| Low-profile 0.7 mm height | Permits integration beneath low-clearance components (e.g., memory modules, BGA packages) |
| RoHS-compliant lead-free finish | Qualified for 260°C reflow - compatible with standard SMT assembly lines without process modification |
Applications
| CPU Core Voltage Regulator | GPU Power Delivery Module |
|---|---|
|

Use Value: 1.3 mΩ RDS(on) and 48 nC Qrr minimize both conduction loss and body-diode reverse recovery loss during dead-time intervals. |
Use Scenario: Compact, thermally constrained VRM on graphics card PCB delivering >400 W to GPU die with strict height limitations (<5 mm). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bottom-side mounted power switch leveraging DirectFET top-surface drain for direct heatsink attachment. Use Value: 0.7 mm profile and 1.4 °C/W RθJC enable full thermal derating without external thermal vias or thick copper layers. |
| Server Memory Regulator | AI Accelerator Power Stage |
|
Use Scenario: Point-of-load regulator for DDR5 memory subsystems requiring tight voltage regulation (±10 mV) and fast transient response. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-RDS(on) SyncFET paired with GaN high-side switch in hybrid topology. Use Value: 1.8 mΩ RDS(on) @ 4.5 V ensures stable operation with 5 V gate drive from integrated controller, reducing gate driver complexity. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF6622 | Higher RDS(on) (1.7 mΩ @ 10 V), same Qg (47 nC), identical MX package | Lower current handling (180 A vs. 200 A); suitable where thermal margin exceeds 10% | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs marginal efficiency gain - no layout change required |
| SiR626DP | Lower Qg (32 nC), slightly higher RDS(on) (1.5 mΩ), same 30 V rating and PQFN package | Superior switching loss trade-off above 1 MHz; lacks top-side drain for dual cooling | Prefer for >1.2 MHz designs where gate drive loss dominates; requires thermal redesign |
Compared with IRF6622 and SiR626DP, the IRF6635 uniquely balances lowest RDS(on), industry-leading thermal resistance, and proven compatibility with existing VRM layouts - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-efficiency CPU/GPU core power stages below 1 MHz.

FAQ
Is IRF6635 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, IRF6635PbF is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, qualified for standard 260°C reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020. The device uses matte tin plating on copper terminals and meets IPC/JEDEC standard for Pb-free assembly compatibility.
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100°C case temperature?
At TC = 100°C, the maximum continuous drain current is 110 A (derated from 200 A at 25°C using the linear derating factor of 2.8 W/°C and RθJC = 1.4 °C/W). This value assumes proper heatsinking and steady-state thermal conditions.
Can IRF6635 be used in avalanche-rated circuits?
Yes - IRF6635 is rated for single-pulse avalanche energy up to 500 mJ (EAS) at IAS = 25 A and starting TJ = 25°C. It is designed for unclamped inductive switching in synchronous buck topologies where the high-side FET may fail open-circuit.
Does IRF6635 require special PCB layout considerations beyond SO-8 footprints?
Yes - while footprint-compatible with SO-8, the DirectFET MX package requires dedicated thermal pads for both top-side (drain) and bottom-side (source/gate) connections. AN-1035 specifies minimum copper area, via placement, and stencil design for optimal solder joint integrity and thermal transfer.
