MOSFET

Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) are integral to power management, digital circuits, and high-speed processing in electronics systems. Recent innovations in silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) MOSFETs are driving improvements in power efficiency for electric vehicles, renewable energy, and industrial automation. As energy efficiency becomes a critical design consideration, MOSFETs continue to enable the creation of low-voltage, high-frequency systems that power smart devices and advanced communications. With expanding use in 5G networks and automotive applications, MOSFETs are an essential building block of modern electronics design and energy systems.

Rohm fits HPLF5060 package for automotive, low-voltage MOSFETs

8 x 8mm 600V 47mΩ super junction mosfet

Toshiba 600V superjunction mosfet DFN8x8

Toshiba has launched a 47mΩ 600V n-channel super-junction mosfet in an 8 x 8mm DFN package. With sufficient heatsinking, the device, TK057V60Z, can carry 40A continuously and pulses up to 160A. 47mΩ is the typical on-resistance while passing 15A with a 10V gate drive – maximum resistance under these conditions is 57mΩ. For more effective gate driving, the package includes ...

10mm surface-mount 1,500V solid-state relay

Vishay VORA1150 1500V solid state relay package

Aiming at 800V automotive battery management, Vishay has put a 1,500V Form A solid-state relay into a 10 x 10mm 4pin SMD-8 package. Back-to-back mosfets are used at the output to switch ac or dc voltages. VORA1150 has 1,414Vpeak repetitive isolation (and 8kV transients), and a maximum leakage of 1µA. “The 4pin design allows the device to provide a 5mm ...

7A capacitively-isolated gate driver

Littelfuse isolated gate driver

Littelfuse has launched a single-channel isolated gate driver typically capable of delivering ±7A and  ±4A at minimum. IX3407B, as it will be known, uses a 2.5kV capacitive isolation barrier (3kV for 1s) and can withstand 150kV/μs transients. The inputs’ thresholds are compatible with 3.3V logic and there are separate pull-up and pull-down outputs so that resistors can be used to ...

12 x 12mm mosfets vie with TOLL and TOLT in automotive

Nexperia top and bottom side cooled automotive mosfetes

Nexperia has four announced 100V automotive mosfets in a 12 x 12mm CCPAK1212 legged SMD package. This package saves “up to 40% PCB space compared to traditional TOLL or TOLT-packaged alternatives”, according to the company. There are bottom-cooled (CCPAK1212) and top-cooled (CCPAK1212i, pictured) versions (see table below). On-resistance is between 0.99 and 1.35mΩ, depending on the part, and a copper ...
