Product details
Overview
IRF6718L2TRPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 25 V, 61 A N-channel DirectFET® Power MOSFET with RDS(on) = 0.50 mΩ @ 10 V and Qg = 64 nC, optimized for active O-Ring, eFuse, and hot-swap protection circuits in server power distribution units and telecom DC-DC modules.
For engineers reviewing the IRF6718L2TRPBF datasheet, IRF6718L2TRPBF pinout, IRF6718L2TRPBF application, or IRF6718L2TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low conduction loss (0.50 mΩ), dual-sided cooling capability, 1.9 V gate threshold, 25 V VDSS, and avalanche-rated ruggedness (EAS = 530 mJ) for fault-tolerant power path design.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs HEXFET® silicon on a DirectFET® copper substrate package, enabling simultaneous top-side (drain) and bottom-side (source/gate) thermal interface. Its low Qgd/Qg ratio (20/64 nC) supports fast, controllable switching in high-frequency current-limiting applications.
The device features a temperature-stable gate threshold (ΔVGS(th)/ΔTJ = −7.6 mV/°C) and normalized RDS(on) drift of <1.5× from −40°C to 175°C, ensuring consistent overcurrent trip behavior across industrial ambient conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 25 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 12 V and 24 V input rail protection |
| RDS(on) @ 10 V | 0.50 mΩ - Enables ≤30 mW conduction loss at 61 A, critical for high-efficiency eFuse sensing |
| Qg | 64 nC - Supports <100 ns turn-on with 1 A gate driver, minimizing transition losses in active current limiting |
| VGS(th) | 1.9 V (typ) - Ensures reliable enhancement-mode turn-on with standard 3.3 V logic-level control |
| EAS | 530 mJ - Withstands single-pulse inductive energy during short-circuit events without failure |
| RθJC | 1.8 °C/W - Enables >100 W power dissipation with modest heatsinking via dual-sided cooling |
| ID @ TC = 25°C | 490 A - Peak pulsed current rating supports high-current surge handling in hot-swap insertion |
Pinout & Package
IRF6718L2TRPBF uses the DirectFET® L8 package: a surface-mount, copper-leadframe package with exposed drain on top and source/gate terminals on bottom. It enables dual-sided PCB cooling and has footprint compatibility with D-Pak layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Top Metal Pad) | Main current path output / heat sink interface | Exposed copper top surface serves as primary thermal path and high-current drain node |
| Source (Bottom Pad) | Current return path / reference node | Large-area bottom pad minimizes source inductance and improves current-sense accuracy |
| Gate (Bottom Pad) | Switching control input | Isolated bottom-terminal gate reduces Miller coupling and enables stable high-dI/dt operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) + package resistance | 0.50 mΩ total on-resistance enables sub-30 mW loss at full rated current |
| Dual-sided cooling architecture | Top-drain + bottom-source pads allow simultaneous heatsinking to both PCB layers and external clips |
| Optimized for active O-Ring/eFuse | Low Qgd/Qg (31%) and tight VGS(th) distribution ensure precise, repeatable current-limit triggering |
| Robust avalanche capability | 530 mJ single-pulse EAS supports unclamped inductive switching in protection circuits |
| RoHS-compliant, lead-free | Meets IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1), suitable for standard reflow |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar power MOSFET protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF6722L2TRPBF | Higher RDS(on) (0.70 mΩ @ 10 V), same package and voltage rating | Suitable where marginally higher conduction loss is acceptable for cost optimization | Select when system thermal budget allows 40% higher I²R loss at full load |
| SiR626DP-T1-GE3 | Lower Qg (42 nC), but higher RDS(on) (0.85 mΩ @ 10 V); PowerPAK® 1212-8 package | Better switching efficiency in high-frequency PWM, but less optimal for DC current limiting | Prefer for mixed signal-switching applications where gate drive power matters more than conduction loss |
Compared with IRF6722L2TRPBF and SiR626DP-T1-GE3, the IRF6718L2TRPBF delivers the lowest RDS(on) in its class-critical for minimizing heat generation in always-on eFuse rails-while maintaining robust avalanche performance and DirectFET® thermal advantages not available in standard SO-8 or PowerPAK packages.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at case temperature of 70°C?
The IRF6718L2TRPBF supports 49 A continuous drain current at TC = 70°C with VGS = 10 V, per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating assumes proper PCB copper area (1 in² Cu) and dual-sided cooling per AN-1035 guidelines. Derating is linear at 0.029 W/°C above 70°C case temperature.
Does this MOSFET require a negative gate voltage for safe turn-off in high-dv/dt environments?
No. The IRF6718L2TRPBF has a gate threshold voltage of 1.9 V (typ) and exhibits no significant Miller-induced turn-on up to dV/dt = 50 V/ns, verified by gate charge waveform analysis (Qgd = 20 nC). A 0 V gate drive fully turns off the device; −5 V is unnecessary and not recommended per datasheet guidance.
Can IRF6718L2TRPBF be used in parallel configurations for higher current capacity?
Yes-its positive RDS(on) temperature coefficient (11 mV/°C breakdown voltage drift) and matched threshold voltage distribution enable stable current sharing. Parallel operation requires symmetrical layout, matched gate resistors (≤2 Ω), and shared thermal mass; typical derating is 15% per added device beyond two units.
What is the recommended solder profile for DirectFET® L8 package assembly?
Follow IPC-J-STD-020 MSL-1 reflow profile: peak temperature 260°C for ≤10 seconds, ramp-up ≤3°C/s, ramp-down ≤6°C/s. Use stencil aperture matching the L8 land pattern (0.3 mm paste thickness), and verify voiding <15% under drain pad using X-ray inspection per AN-1035 recommendations.
