    Help me decide which MOSFETs are suitable replacements

    Friends,

    I need help. I'm having a bit of difficulty in deciding what would be the compatible replacement for these MagnaChip N-Channel Trench MOSFETs on a VRM circuit because they seem to have a much faster switching times compared to most N-Channel Trench MOSFETs out there that have the same (more or less) current rating and Rds(on)

    MDD1502 (high side), 48.5A 7.8mOhm
    MDD1501 (low side, 2 in parallel), 67A 5.6mOhm

    VGS is 10V High side drain is 12V. Low side drain is from PWM controller (Richtek RT8120A) phase output 1V.

    Here are the ones I'm currently looking at:
    Matsuki ME60N03 (high side) 50A 8.8mOhm
    Matsuki ME70N03 (low side) 70A 5.6mOhm

    Nikos P0903BDG (high side) 50A 9.8mOhm
    Nikos P0603BDG (low side) 75A 6.5mOhm

    which I already have a few in stock, taken from old gen mobos with dead PCH.

    Do you think they will work fine as replacements?

    Oh well, I guess I will just pick either pair and try it myself. Hopefully they won't blow up again and take out the processor.

      Just a quick update. IT DIDN'T WORK AT ALL. No switching was happening. A new PWM controller IC, new mosfets, and instead of getting a 3.3V enable signal, I got 7V which doesn't make any sense at all considering it is pulled high to 3.3V BUS!

      Either I have a DOA PWM controller, or I have killed a component that sets it up to work when I removed the old controller with my hot air station.

      So I removed it and also the mosfets (again!), the enable signal returns to 3V.

        MOSFETs replacement work fine. I had 7V EN on the PWM IC because the center ground/thermal pad was not making a proper contact with the board. Re-soldering the IC for the 2nd time fixed the issue. Power rail came back to life.

        The MOSFETs that I ended up using were the Matsuki ME60N03 + ME70N03 pair.

        Device got sold a couple of days ago 😬
