Product details
Overview
IRF6721STR1PBF from Infineon Technologies is a 30 V, 14 A N-channel Power MOSFET in DirectFET® packaging optimized as a control FET in high-frequency synchronous buck converters operating from 12 V input rails. It delivers 5.1 mΩ RDS(on) @ 10 V, 8.5 mΩ @ 4.5 V, 11 nC total gate charge, and ultra-low 140 pF reverse transfer capacitance (Crss) for minimal switching loss in CPU core power delivery.
For engineers reviewing the IRF6721STR1PBF datasheet, IRF6721STR1PBF pinout, IRF6721STR1PBF application, or IRF6721STR1PBF equivalent, this device is selected for high-efficiency DC-DC conversion where low conduction loss, fast switching, dual-sided cooling capability, and compatibility with standard SMT reflow profiles are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs HEXFET® silicon on a copper substrate DirectFET package enabling top-side (drain) and bottom-side (source) thermal paths - reducing junction-to-ambient thermal resistance to 12.5 °C/W with heatsink and improving thermal transfer by 80% versus prior-generation packages. Its gate threshold voltage of 1.9 V (typ.) and steep transconductance (25 S) support robust turn-on at 4.5 V logic levels.
The device is characterized for unclamped inductive switching with 110 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy and exhibits 17 ns reverse recovery time (trr) with 19 nC Qrr in its integrated body diode - critical for synchronous rectification stability and shoot-through immunity in high-dV/dt environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 30 V maximum drain-source breakdown - supports 12 V bus designs with ≥2.5× voltage margin against transients. |
| RDS(on) @ 10 V | 5.1 mΩ - enables ≤70 mW conduction loss at 14 A continuous current in control FET position. |
| RDS(on) @ 4.5 V | 8.5 mΩ - ensures reliable enhancement-mode operation with 4.5 V gate drive common in modern PWM controllers. |
| Qg total | 11 nC - reduces gate driver power demand and enables <10 ns turn-on delay (td(on) = 7.8 ns) at 25 Ω RG. |
| Crss | 140 pF - minimizes Miller-induced voltage spikes and improves noise immunity during high-dV/dt switching. |
| tr/tf | 8.9 ns / 5.3 ns - supports >1 MHz switching frequencies while maintaining low EMI and overlap loss. |
| RθJC | 3.0 °C/W - allows direct thermal coupling to heatsink via drain pad, enabling high-power density layout. |
Pinout & Package
IRF6721STR1PBF uses the DirectFET® M package - a low-profile (0.7 mm), copper-clip-based surface-mount construction with exposed drain (top side) and source (bottom side) terminals. The package footprint matches MICRO-8 layouts but provides dual-sided thermal access and ultra-low inductance interconnects.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Top Metal (Drain) | Drain connection / thermal path | Exposed copper top surface serves as primary drain node and heatsink interface - requires solder mask defined thermal pad on PCB top layer. |
| Bottom Metal (Source) | Source connection / thermal path | Full-bottom copper area forms low-inductance source return and secondary thermal path - must be connected to large internal ground plane. |
| Gate Pad (Side) | Gate control terminal | Small side-mounted solderable pad accepts standard SMT gate routing; low gate resistance (2.1 Ω typ.) ensures stable drive. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-sided cooling | Enables simultaneous top (drain) and bottom (source) heat extraction - reduces effective RθJA by 80% vs. SO-8 equivalents. |
| Ultra-low package inductance | Minimizes voltage overshoot and ringing during hard-switching - critical for >1 MHz synchronous buck stability. |
| Optimized for control FET role | Low Qg/RDS(on) ratio (0.77 nC/mΩ) balances switching and conduction loss specifically for high-side switching in 12 V input converters. |
| Body diode with fast trr | 17 ns reverse recovery time and 19 nC Qrr reduce cross-conduction risk during dead-time transitions in synchronous rectification. |
| RoHS-compliant & halogen-free | Meets IPC-J-STD-609A Class 1 definition - suitable for automotive and industrial applications requiring strict material compliance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar control FET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF6642TRPbF | Higher RDS(on) (7.0 mΩ @ 10 V), lower Qg (8.2 nC), same DirectFET M package | Better suited for higher-frequency (>1.5 MHz), lower-current (<8 A) applications where switching loss dominates | Select when prioritizing gate drive efficiency over conduction loss in light-load efficiency-critical designs |
| SiR626DP-T1-GE3 | 60 V rating, 6.0 mΩ @ 10 V, 13.5 nC Qg, PowerPAK® 1212-8 package | Supports wider input range (up to 48 V) but lacks dual-sided cooling and has higher thermal resistance (RθJA = 42 °C/W) | Choose for systems requiring 24–48 V bus compatibility where thermal headroom is less constrained |
Compared with IRF6721STR1PBF, IRF6642TRPbF trades conduction loss for faster switching, while SiR626DP-T1-GE3 extends voltage range at the cost of thermal performance - making IRF6721STR1PBF optimal for 12 V, high-current, thermally dense CPU/GPU VRMs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRF6721STR1PBF at 70°C ambient?
The maximum continuous drain current is 62 A at TC = 25°C, but derates to 14 A at TA = 70°C with standard PCB mounting (1 in² copper). This rating assumes proper thermal vias, ground plane coupling, and adherence to AN-1035 reflow guidelines for DirectFET packages.
Does IRF6721STR1PBF support 4.5 V gate drive in synchronous buck topologies?
Yes - it specifies 8.5 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 4.5 V and 11 A, with a typical gate threshold voltage of 1.9 V. Its transconductance curve shows strong enhancement above 3.5 V, making it fully compatible with 4.5 V logic-level PWM controllers used in modern multiphase VRMs.
How does the DirectFET package improve thermal performance over SO-8?
The DirectFET M package achieves 80% lower effective thermal resistance than SO-8 by exposing both drain (top) and source (bottom) as large-area copper thermal interfaces. With dual-sided cooling and optimized PCB layout, RθJA drops from ~58 °C/W (SO-8) to 12.5 °C/W - enabling higher current density without forced air.
Is IRF6721STR1PBF suitable for avalanche-rated applications?
It is rated for unclamped inductive switching with EAS = 110 mJ (single pulse) at IAS = 11 A and TJ = 25°C. While not intended for repetitive avalanche operation, this rating supports robustness against inductive kickback in properly designed synchronous buck circuits with controlled dead time.
