Description
The AUIRF8736M2 combines the latest Automotive HEXFET® Power MOSFET Silicon technology with the advanced DirectFET® packaging
technology to achieve exceptional performance in a package that has the footprint of an SO-8 or 5X6mm PQFN and only 0.7mm profile. The
DirectFET® package is compatible with existing layout geometries used in power applications, PCB assembly equipment and vapor phase, infra-red or
convection soldering techniques, when application note AN-1035 is followed regarding the manufacturing methods and processes. The DirectFET®
package allows dual sided cooling to maximize thermal transfer in automotive power systems.
This HEXFET® Power MOSFET is designed for applications where efficiency and power density are of value. The advanced DirectFET® packaging
platform coupled with the latest silicon technology allows the AUIRF8736M2 to offer substantial system level savings and performance improvement
specifically in motor drive, DC-DC and other heavy load applications on ICE, HEV and EV platforms. This MOSFET utilizes the latest processing
techniques to achieve ultra low on-resistance per silicon area. Additional features of this MOSFET are 175°C operating junction temperature and high
repetitive peak current capability. These features combine to make this MOSFET a highly efficient, robust and reliable device for high current
automotive applications.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only; and
functional operation of the device at these or any other condition beyond those indicated in the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute-
maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability. The thermal resistance and power dissipation ratings are measured under
board mounted and still air conditions. Ambient temperature (TA) is 25°C, unless otherwise specified.

(For further info, see AN-1005 at www.irf.com)
1. Avalanche failures assumption:
Purely a thermal phenomenon and failure occurs at a temperature far in
excess of Tjmax. This is validated for every part type.
2. Safe operation in Avalanche is allowed as long as Tjmax is not exceeded.
3. Equation below based on circuit and waveforms shown in Figures 18a, 18b.
4. PD (ave) = Average power dissipation per single avalanche pulse.
5. BV = Rated breakdown voltage (1.3 factor accounts for voltage increase
during avalanche).
6. Iav = Allowable avalanche current.
7. T = Allowable rise in junction temperature, not to exceed Tjmax (assumed as
25°C in Figure 16, 17).
t
av = Average time in avalanche.
D = Duty cycle in avalanche = tav ·f

thJC(D, tav) = Transient thermal resistance, see Figures 15)
