Increased package options for NextPower 80/100V MOSFET portfolio
Package options for Nexperia’s NextPower 80/100V MOSFETs add the LFPAK56 and LFPAK88 packages to existing LFPAK56E package.
The devices have been designed to combine high efficiency with reduced spiking behaviour in telecommunications, server computing, industrial, power supply, fast charging, USB-PD and motor control applications.
The Qg*RDSon figure of merit is a key metric for semiconductor manufacturers to improve the efficiency of MOSFET switches. Nexperia pointed out that relentlessly pushing this figure lower has had the unintended consequence of increasing spiking levels when a MOSFET switches on or off. This increases the amount of generated EMI. Nexperia’s research into how modifying other process technology parameters might help to address this, the company has released the NextPower 80/100V MOSFETs with lower Qrr (reverse recovery charge). As a result, they are able to “significantly reduce the amount of spiking during switching transitions” while exhibiting high-efficiency performance with lower EMI.
These high-efficiency, low-spiking NextPower 80/100V MOSFETs available in LFPAK56 and LFPAK88 enable developers to reduce application size and benefit from the added robustness of copper clip packaging. They also provide new options to design engineers and customers looking to qualify additional sources for their existing designs.
