Product details
Overview
IRF6678TR1 from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 30 V, 1.7 mΩ @ 10 V, N-channel DirectFET™ power MOSFET optimized for synchronous buck converters in CPU core DC-DC applications. It delivers ultra-low RDS(on), 43 nC total gate charge, and 1.4 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance in a low-profile (0.7 mm) MX-outline copper-can package with dual-sided cooling capability.
For engineers reviewing the IRF6678TR1 datasheet, IRF6678TR1 pinout, IRF6678TR1 application, or IRF6678TR1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.3 mΩ RDS(on) at 4.5 V gate drive, 46 nC reverse recovery charge, 1260 pF output capacitance, and compatibility with standard SO-8 PCB footprints while enabling high-frequency switching up to 1 MHz in 12 V input bus converters.
Technical Context
The IRF6678TR1 uses trench-gate HEXFET® silicon in a copper substrate DirectFET™ MX package, enabling symmetric top-and-bottom thermal paths and eliminating bond wires to reduce package inductance to <1 nH. Its gate threshold voltage of 1.8 V (typ.) and negative temperature coefficient of –6.3 mV/°C support stable operation across –40°C to +150°C junction temperatures.
Designed specifically for the SyncFET position in multiphase synchronous buck regulators, it balances conduction loss (via 1.7 mΩ RDS(on)) and switching loss (via 15 nC Qgd, 19 nC Qsw, and 570 pF Crss), achieving >95% efficiency in 12 V → 1.0 V/150 A VRM designs operating at 500 kHz–1 MHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 30 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 12 V bus systems with margin for transient overshoot. |
| RDS(on) @ 10 V | 1.7 mΩ - Enables ≤1.5 W conduction loss at 30 A continuous drain current in SyncFET role. |
| Qg total | 43 nC - Low gate drive energy requirement supports efficient 1 MHz PWM control with standard gate drivers. |
| Qrr | 46 nC - Minimizes body diode recovery loss during dead-time in synchronous rectification. |
| RθJC | 1.4 °C/W - Enables direct heatsink mounting to drain-side copper for thermal management under 210 W power dissipation. |
| Coss | 1260 pF - Reduces capacitive switching loss and improves light-load efficiency in hard-switched topologies. |
| ID @ TC = 25°C | 240 A - Peak current capability supports high-current multiphase CPU VRMs without derating. |
Pinout & Package
IRF6678TR1 uses the DirectFET™ MX outline: a copper-can, double-sided cooling package with no leads, measuring 6.3 × 5.0 × 0.7 mm (L × W × H). The drain connects to the top metal can and bottom substrate; source and gate are soldered to PCB pads on the bottom side only. No external pins - terminals are defined by PCB footprint pads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Top Can / Bottom Substrate | Drain (D) | Electrically common copper structure serving as primary heat path and high-current drain node. |
| Source Pad (S) | Source (S) | Bottom-side PCB pad; carries full load current back to input capacitor and enables Kelvin source sensing. |
| Gate Pad (G) | Gate (G) | Isolated bottom-side PCB pad; requires controlled impedance routing to minimize ringing during 10 V gate drive transitions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-sided cooling | Enables simultaneous thermal interface to top heatsink and bottom PCB copper, reducing RθJA by 80% vs. SO-8 packages. |
| Ultra-low package inductance | <1 nH - Eliminates bond wires and minimizes voltage spikes during 100 A/µs dI/dt switching in VRMs. |
| Optimized for SyncFET socket | 1.7 mΩ RDS(on) @ 10 V and 2.3 mΩ @ 4.5 V match gate drive characteristics of modern controller ICs driving both high- and low-side FETs. |
| Low Qgd/Qg ratio | 15 nC / 43 nC = 0.35 - Improves Miller immunity and enables faster turn-off with reduced shoot-through risk. |
| Body diode trr | 43 ns (typ.) - Supports clean zero-voltage switching (ZVS) transition in resonant and hybrid topologies. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-frequency power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infineon IRF6662TR1PBF | Higher RDS(on) (2.3 mΩ @ 10 V), same MX package, 50 nC Qg | Lower efficiency at high current; suitable for cost-sensitive 50–100 A VRMs where thermal margin exists | Select when lower gate drive strength is acceptable and 0.6 mΩ higher conduction loss is tolerable. |
| Vishay SiR626DP | Same 30 V rating, 1.8 mΩ @ 10 V, but PowerPAK® SO-8 package (RθJC = 2.5 °C/W, no dual-sided cooling) | Limited to single-sided cooling; requires larger PCB copper area or heatsink for equivalent thermal performance | Choose only if existing SO-8 layout reuse is mandatory and thermal headroom exceeds 15°C at full load. |
Compared with IRF6678TR1, IRF6662TR1PBF trades 0.6 mΩ higher RDS(on) for lower gate charge sensitivity, while SiR626DP sacrifices thermal performance for footprint compatibility-neither matches the IRF6678TR1's combination of 1.7 mΩ, 1.4 °C/W, and dual-sided cooling in a 0.7 mm profile.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRF6678TR1 at 70°C ambient?
The IRF6678TR1 supports 150 A continuous drain current at TA = 70°C when mounted on a 1 in² copper board per datasheet Figure 12. This rating assumes proper PCB copper area, thermal vias, and airflow; actual current must be validated against measured case temperature and RDS(on) derating at elevated junction temperatures.
Does IRF6678TR1 require special PCB layout considerations beyond standard SO-8 footprints?
Yes - although its MX outline fits SO-8 land patterns, the IRF6678TR1 requires dedicated thermal vias under the source pad, minimum 1 oz copper on inner layers, and symmetric top/bottom copper pour for dual-sided cooling. Application note AN-1035 mandates specific stencil aperture design (0.12 mm thickness, 90% area ratio) for reliable solder joint formation on the copper can.
Can IRF6678TR1 be used in avalanche-rated applications?
No - the IRF6678TR1 is not rated for repetitive avalanche operation. Its EAS rating is 400 mJ (single-pulse, 23 A, 24 V) per datasheet Figure 14, but the device lacks guaranteed avalanche ruggedness. It must be operated within SOA limits with appropriate snubbing or clamping for inductive switching stress.
What is the recommended gate resistor value for 1 MHz switching in a synchronous buck converter?
A 2.2 Ω gate resistor is recommended for 1 MHz operation, balancing switching speed (tdoff ≈ 27 ns, tf ≈ 8.1 ns) and gate driver stability. Lower values (<1.5 Ω) increase dV/dt stress and EMI; higher values (>4.7 Ω) degrade efficiency due to extended Qgd-dominated turn-off delay and increased switching loss.
