Product details
Overview
IRF8513PBF from Infineon Technologies is a dual N-channel HEXFET Power MOSFET in SO-8 package, configured as a control FET (Q1) and synchronous rectifier FET (Q2) pair for high-frequency synchronous buck converters. It delivers RDS(on) of 15.5 mΩ (Q1) and 12.7 mΩ (Q2) at VGS = 10 V, 8.0 A/11 A continuous drain current, and low gate charge (5.7 nC / 7.6 nC), enabling high-efficiency DC-DC conversion in notebook CPU power delivery.
For engineers reviewing the IRF8513PBF datasheet, IRF8513PBF pinout, IRF8513PBF application, or IRF8513PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-FET thermal coupling in SO-8, asymmetric RDS(on) and Qg optimization for control/synchronous roles, body diode recovery performance (trr = 15–26 ns), and avalanche ruggedness (EAS = 49–70 mJ).
Technical Context
The IRF8513PBF integrates two discrete N-channel MOSFETs on a single SO-8 die: Q1 serves as the high-side control switch with higher RDS(on) (15.5 mΩ max) and lower gate charge (5.7 nC typ), while Q2 acts as the low-side synchronous rectifier with lower RDS(on) (12.7 mΩ max) and higher gate charge (7.6 nC typ). Both share identical 30 V VDSS, ±20 V VGS, and -55°C to +175°C TJ rating.
Its design targets high-switching-frequency POL converters where conduction loss (via RDS(on)) and switching loss (via Qg, Ciss, and tr/tf) must be jointly minimized - evidenced by Ciss = 766 pF (Q1) / 1024 pF (Q2), tr = 8.5 ns / 10.7 ns, and tf = 5.7 ns / 5.0 ns under standardized test conditions (VDD = 15 V, RG = 1.8 Ω).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 30 V - Maximum blocking voltage for both FETs; suitable for 12 V input bus with margin in notebook/server POL stages. |
| RDS(on) Q1 / Q2 | 15.5 mΩ / 12.7 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V - Asymmetric on-resistance optimizes control vs. synchronous roles to balance conduction loss and thermal distribution. |
| Qg Q1 / Q2 | 5.7 nC / 7.6 nC - Low total gate charge enables fast turn-on with reduced driver power and gate drive loss in MHz-range operation. |
| ID Continuous | 8.0 A (Q1) / 11 A (Q2) @ TA = 25°C - Rated current reflects thermal limits of shared SO-8 package; derates to 6.2 A / 9.0 A at 70°C ambient. |
| EAS | 49 mJ (Q1) / 70 mJ (Q2) - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating confirms ruggedness during unclamped inductive switching in synchronous buck topologies. |
| trr | 15–23 ns (Q1) / 17–26 ns (Q2) - Fast reverse recovery time of integrated body diode reduces shoot-through risk and improves light-load efficiency. |
Pinout & Package
IRF8513PBF uses an industry-standard SO-8 surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for enhanced thermal dissipation. The dual-FET layout shares source terminals internally between channels, requiring careful PCB layout to avoid ground bounce coupling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 (Q1 Source) | Source terminal for control FET (Q1) | Internally tied to pins 5, 6, 7, 8 (Q2 Source); forms common source node essential for synchronous buck low-side return path. |
| 5, 6, 7, 8 (Q2 Source) | Source terminal for synchronous FET (Q2) | Electrically common with Q1 source; requires single-point grounding to minimize noise coupling between high- and low-side switching nodes. |
| Pin 1 (Q1 Gate) | Gate input for control FET | Drives high-side switch; optimized for lower Qg to reduce gate driver stress and propagation delay in fast transient response designs. |
| Pin 5 (Q2 Gate) | Gate input for synchronous FET | Drives low-side switch; higher Qg accommodates stronger drive needed for high-current conduction with minimal VSD drop. |
| Exposed Pad | Drain connection for both FETs | Thermally and electrically connects to both drains; must be soldered to large copper pour for RθJA = 62.5°C/W (Q2) and thermal stability under 2.4 W PD. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Asymmetric dual-FET optimization | Q1 (control) prioritizes low Qg and moderate RDS(on); Q2 (sync) prioritizes ultra-low RDS(on) and robust avalanche rating - directly reducing total power loss in 500 kHz–1 MHz buck converters. |
| 100% avalanche-tested | Each unit validated for EAS ≥ 49 mJ (Q1) and ≥ 70 mJ (Q2), ensuring reliable operation during load dump or startup transients without external snubbers. |
| Lead-free & RoHS-compliant | Qualified to 260°C reflow profile with halogen-free construction, meeting IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D moisture sensitivity level 1 for zero-bake assembly in high-volume manufacturing. |
| Low gate resistance | RG = 2.1 Ω (Q1) / 1.4 Ω (Q2) minimizes gate oscillation and improves EMI behavior during hard switching, especially critical in compact notebook VRMs. |
Applications
| Notebook CPU VRM | Server DDR Memory Regulator |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual N-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SiR872DP | 30 V, 12.5 mΩ/10.5 mΩ (Q1/Q2), Qg = 6.3 nC/8.1 nC, SO-8, same RθJA but higher Ciss (850/1120 pF) | Higher Ciss increases gate drive loss above 1.2 MHz; better suited for 300–800 kHz server VRMs than notebook MHz designs. | Select when prioritizing lowest RDS(on) over switching speed; verify gate driver slew rate capability. |
| DMN6016LFG-7 | 60 V, 16.5 mΩ/14.5 mΩ (Q1/Q2), Qg = 9.5 nC/11.2 nC, SOT-23-6 dual package - not pin-compatible, lower current rating (4.5 A/5.5 A) | Designed for low-power IoT and portable devices; insufficient current headroom for CPU/GPU POL applications. | Only viable for sub-10 A auxiliary rails; requires full schematic and layout redesign due to different package and voltage rating. |
Compared with SiR872DP and DMN6016LFG-7, the IRF8513PBF offers the best trade-off of low Qg, tight RDS(on) asymmetry, and proven avalanche ruggedness specifically validated for high-dI/dt notebook/server buck stages - making it the preferred choice where efficiency, thermal density, and reliability are co-constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gate drive voltage for IRF8513PBF?
The absolute maximum VGS rating is ±20 V, but the device is characterized and optimized for 10 V gate drive. Operating above 12 V yields diminishing RDS(on) improvement while increasing gate oxide stress and ESD vulnerability. Recommended drive range is 4.5 V to 10 V, with 10 V used for datasheet specifications.
Can IRF8513PBF be used in non-synchronous (diode-rectified) buck converters?
Yes, but inefficiently. Its Q2 channel is optimized as a synchronous rectifier - using its body diode in non-synchronous mode results in higher forward voltage (VSD ≈ 1.0 V) and slower recovery (trr = 17–26 ns) than dedicated Schottky diodes. Efficiency loss exceeds 3% at 20 A, making it unsuitable for cost-sensitive non-synchronous designs.
How is thermal management handled given both FETs share one SO-8 package?
The exposed drain pad connects both FETs' drains thermally and electrically. Effective thermal design requires soldering the pad to ≥200 mm² internal or external copper pour with ≥4 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter) to inner ground plane. This achieves RθJA ≤ 62.5°C/W for Q2, limiting junction temperature to <125°C at 2.4 W dissipation in still air.
Does IRF8513PBF support paralleling multiple units for higher current?
No - the SO-8 package lacks independent source leads, so paralleling introduces severe current imbalance due to unequal source inductance and thermal coupling. For >11 A applications, use multi-phase controllers with separate dual-FETs per phase or higher-current packages like PowerPAK SO-8. Layout-induced shoot-through risk also increases significantly.
