Product details
Overview
IRF6717MTR1PBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 25 V, N-channel DirectFET™ Power MOSFET optimized for synchronous buck converter high-side and low-side FET roles in CPU core DC-DC applications. It delivers 0.95 mΩ RDS(on) @ 10 V, 46 nC total gate charge, and ultra-low package inductance in a 0.7 mm profile surface-mount package. Its high Cdv/dt immunity and low conduction/switching losses support >1 MHz switching in high-efficiency point-of-load converters.
For engineers reviewing the IRF6717MTR1PBF datasheet, IRF6717MTR1PBF pinout, IRF6717MTR1PBF application, or IRF6717MTR1PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) at 4.5 V (1.6 mΩ), Qgd/Qgs2 ratio for hard-switching robustness, thermal resistance RθJC = 1.3 °C/W, and body diode reverse recovery charge Qrr = 31 nC under 175 A/μs di/dt.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs HEXFET® silicon with DirectFET™ packaging-eliminating bond wires and enabling dual-sided cooling. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 1.8 V typ.) and negative temperature coefficient of RDS(on) support stable parallel operation. The low Qgd (14 nC) and high Qgd/Qgs2 ratio improve immunity to spurious turn-on during high dv/dt transitions in synchronous rectification.
The device is characterized for repetitive unclamped inductive switching (UIS) up to 290 mJ and avalanche-rated for IAS = 30 A. Its Ciss = 6750 pF, Coss = 1700 pF, and Crss = 730 pF enable precise modeling of switching behavior in high-frequency power stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 25 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 12 V input bus and 3.3 V/1.8 V/1.0 V CPU core rails. |
| RDS(on) @ 10 V | 0.95 mΩ - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 38 A continuous drain current (TC = 25°C). |
| RDS(on) @ 4.5 V | 1.6 mΩ - Supports efficient operation with 5 V or 4.5 V gate drive in low-voltage synchronous FET configurations. |
| Qg total | 46 nC - Low gate charge reduces driver power loss and enables fast turn-on with minimal overshoot. |
| Qgd | 14 nC - Critical for Miller immunity; low Qgd/Qg ratio (30%) suppresses false triggering in high dv/dt environments. |
| RθJC | 1.3 °C/W - Enables direct heatsink attachment to drain (top side) and PCB copper (bottom side) for dual-sided thermal extraction. |
| Qrr | 31 nC - Low reverse recovery charge minimizes switching loss and EMI in hard-commutated synchronous rectifiers. |
Pinout & Package
The IRF6717MTR1PBF uses the DirectFET™ M package-a leadless, double-sided cooling, ultra-low-inductance surface-mount package with footprint compatibility to SO-8 layouts. Dimensions: 6.35 × 5.05 × 0.7 mm (L × W × H). Drain is electrically connected to both top metal pad and bottom copper land; source and gate terminals are on the periphery.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Top Metal Pad (Drain) | High-current drain connection and primary thermal path | Enables direct heatsink mounting; carries full load current and dissipates >90% of heat via top-side conduction. |
| Bottom Copper Land (Drain) | Secondary drain connection and PCB thermal interface | Provides low-impedance thermal path to internal PCB copper planes; supports dual-sided cooling architecture. |
| Source Terminal (S) | Source node for gate drive reference and current return | Low-inductance source loop critical for minimizing switching ringing and improving EMI performance. |
| Gate Terminal (G) | Control electrode for channel modulation | Optimized for low-Qgd layout; requires Kelvin-source gate drive routing to avoid common-source inductance effects. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| DirectFET™ packaging | Eliminates bond wires and reduces package inductance by >50% vs. SO-8, enabling cleaner switching waveforms above 1 MHz. |
| Dual-sided cooling capability | Reduces effective thermal resistance by 80% vs. conventional packages, allowing >2× power density in space-constrained CPU VRMs. |
| Optimized for synchronous FET role | Combines low RDS(on) at 4.5 V (1.6 mΩ) and high Cdv/dt immunity to prevent shoot-through in buck converter low-side switching. |
| 100% RG tested | Ensures consistent gate resistance (1.3–2.2 Ω) across production lots, critical for predictable switching timing and driver design. |
| RoHS-compliant & halogen-free | Meets IPC-J-STD-609A Class 1 requirements for bromine/chlorine content, supporting green manufacturing compliance. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF6662TRPBF | RDS(on) = 1.25 mΩ @ 10 V; Qg = 32 nC; uses standard SO-8 package with higher RθJA (45 °C/W) | Lacks dual-sided cooling; unsuitable for >200 A multi-phase designs where thermal density is limiting | Prefer when board-level thermal management is sufficient and cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency gains. |
| SiR626DP-T1-GE3 | RDS(on) = 0.95 mΩ @ 10 V; Qg = 42 nC; TrenchFET® Gen IV in PowerPAK® SO-8; RθJC = 1.5 °C/W | Single-sided cooling only; slightly higher Qgd (16 nC) reduces dv/dt noise margin in high-speed sync-FET use | Select when existing SO-8 layout reuse is mandatory and peak efficiency is secondary to design cycle time. |
Compared with IRF6717MTR1PBF, IRF6662TRPBF trades lower gate charge for higher on-resistance and inferior thermal performance, while SiR626DP-T1-GE3 matches RDS(on) but lacks dual-sided cooling and has reduced Cdv/dt immunity-making IRF6717MTR1PBF uniquely suited for thermally constrained, high-frequency CPU/GPU VRMs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 70°C ambient temperature?
The IRF6717MTR1PBF supports 22 A continuous drain current at TA = 70°C with proper PCB copper area and airflow. This rating assumes surface mounting on a 1 in² copper board with double-sided cooling per AN-1035 guidelines. Derating follows a linear 0.022 W/°C factor above 70°C ambient.
Does this MOSFET require a gate resistor for stability in synchronous buck applications?
Yes-a gate resistor (typically 1–5 Ω) is required to dampen gate oscillation and control dV/dt during turn-on/turn-off. The device's low gate resistance (1.3–2.2 Ω typ.) and high transconductance (140 S) make external RG essential to limit peak gate current and prevent ringing-induced false turn-on in high-speed layouts.
Can the IRF6717MTR1PBF be used in avalanche mode for circuit protection?
Yes-it is rated for repetitive unclamped inductive switching (UIS) with EAS = 290 mJ at TJ = 25°C and IAS = 30 A. However, avalanche operation must be limited to single-pulse events with strict pulse width (<400 μs) and duty cycle (<2%) constraints to avoid cumulative junction temperature rise beyond 150°C.
How does the DirectFET™ package affect PCB layout compared to SO-8?
The DirectFET™ M package uses a non-leaded, top-and-bottom metalized structure requiring dedicated stencil apertures and substrate pad design per AN-1035. Unlike SO-8, it has no leads-so solder paste volume, reflow profile, and thermal pad connectivity must be validated separately. Layout must provide separate thermal vias under the bottom drain land and avoid silkscreen over top-drain metal.
