Infineon Technologies Launches Improved Power MOSFET Tech

• For contemporary switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) as well as battery-powered applications, there is an emerging pattern towards greater performance and boosted dependability.
• Supporting this pattern, semiconductor manufacturing firm Infineon Technologies is presenting the OptiMOSTM 6 100 V with a brand-new power MOSFET technology.

For modern-day switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) as well as battery-powered applications, there is an arising fad towards greater performance as well as improved integrity. Sustaining this trend, semiconductor manufacturing business Infineon Technologies is introducing the OptiMOSTM 6 100 V with a new power MOSFET technology.

The new modern technology is particularly enhanced for high changing regularity applications, such as telecommunications and also solar, where losses are connected with charges (switching) and also on-state resistance (conduction). "At the same time, as a result of the best-in-class RDS(on) and broader secure operating area (SOA), it is additionally suitable for battery-powered applications (BPA) and battery management systems (BMS)," declares the company.

The OptiMOS 6 permits much easier thermal layout as well as much less paralleling, bring about raised efficiency, improved power density, lowered system cost, and also long term life time.

"Especially in the telecommunications market, OptiMOS 6 is a game-changer by accomplishing 18 percent lower RDS(on) and also more than 30 percent renovation in FOMs (RDS(on) x Qg and also Qgd), compared to the advanced OptiMOS 5. In a 600 W, -(36-60) V to 12 V ZVS buck-boost converter, the OptiMOS 6 in SuperSO8 bundle with 2.2 mΩ can achieve one percent greater performance than OptiMOS 5 BSC027N10NS5 (2.7 mΩ) across the whole load range," asserts Infineon Technologies.

This, as per the company, leads to a 7 W lower power loss due to improved fees as well as RDS(on), making it possible for as much as 15 percent higher power thickness. The new technology in the 100 V range is said to enable reduced conduction and also switching losses and also minimizes the necessity for paralleling components.

In the framework of telecommunications power system, by switching to the new MOSFET modern technology, the yearly electrical power conserving potential equates to the electrical power intake of 170 homes, states Infineon Technologies. The devices assist to decrease the power usage by one million Euros over a time period of 10 years, it adds.

Accessibility: OptiMOS 6 100 V is currently readily available in SuperSO8 5 × 6 and also PQFN 3.3 × 3.3 plans. More information is available at www.infineon.com/optimos-6-100V.
