International Rectifier Introduces Optimized DirectFETTM MOSFETs for Maximum High Frequency, High Current DC-DC Performance

International Rectifier IRF6609 IRF6620 IRF6623

New 20V Trio Meets VRM10 Spec and Power Demands of Next-Generation Processors

February 24, 2004 - International Rectifier introduced three new devices to their DirectFETTM MOSFET family. The new 20V N-channel devices are optimized for VRM 10 power systems and high frequency, high current DC-DC converters for next generation Intel® and AMD processors in high-end desktop computers and servers, as well as advanced telecom and datacom systems.

The IRF6623 features enhanced control MOSFET performance, with a 30% reduction in device on-resistance and gate charge product, and is 50% smaller than other high-performing 20V control MOSFETs on the market. In addition, the RDS(on) and Qg product at 4.5V is 48.4mOhm-nC, and the Miller charge is 4.0nC, reducing switching losses.

IRF6620 is ideal for synchronous MOSFET applications up to 35A. The IRF6620 combines very low Qg, Qgd, and QRR with a 30% improvement in RDS(on) compared to other high-performing 20V synch MOSFETs on the market. Typical RDS(on) for this product is 2.1mOhm (2.7mOhm max.) at 10V.

The IRF6609 is designed for the highest performance in high-current (33A or more) synchronous MOSFET applications. The IRF6609 combines very low gate charge (Qg), Miller charge (Qgd) and ultra-low reverse recovery charge (QRR) with typical device on-resistance (RDS(on)) of 1.6mOhm (2.0mOhm max.) at 10V.
