The IRF6711STRPBF: No LTB window or last-time-buy deadline to track for this order code.
The on-resistance is specified at 3.8 mOhm maximum when the gate is driven to 10 V and the drain carries 19 A. That is the number to use for the I²R conduction loss calculation at full load; at lower gate voltages the resistance rises, so a 5 V logic drive will see a higher effective Rds(on). The 25 V drain-source rating and 19 A continuous current envelope suit this part for 12 V to 24 V rail switching, OR-ing diodes, and low-voltage DC-DC converter synchronous rectification.
DirectFET can — layout and thermal handling
The DirectFET package is a metal can with the drain tab on top and source/gate pads underneath. At 2.2 W dissipation the can will run hot without adequate copper pour or airflow. Gate drive threshold is 2.35 V maximum at 25 µA drain current, and the absolute maximum gate-source voltage is ±20 V.
Switching speed and gate drive budget
Total gate charge is 20 nC at 4.5 V, which means a 1 A gate driver can switch the FET in roughly 20 ns.
