IXYS Corporation, a specialist in power semiconductors, mixed-signal and digital ICs for power conversion and motion control applications, announced today the introduction of the SMPD Series high frequency surface mount power MOSFETs by its IXYS Colorado division.
The new SMPD (Surface Mount Power Device) isolated package family provides a MOSFET power device in an SMD outline with all the advantages of flexibility, automated assembly and reduced package size. With one of the lowest height profiles in the market, it fulfills the demand for total size reduction and therefore facilitates system cost reduction requirements.
The first MOSFET devices in the series, available now from IXYS Colorado, are the IXRFSM12N100 1000 Volt 12 Ampere and IXRFSM18N50 500 Volt 19 Ampere devices.
Features:
· Isolated substrate
· High isolation voltage (Greater than 2500 V)
· Excellent thermal transfer
· Increased temperature and power cycling capability
· Low gate charge and capacitances
o Easier to drive
o Faster switching
· Low RDS(on)
· Very low insertion inductance (Less than 2 nH)
· No beryllium oxide (BeO) or other hazardous materials
Advantages:
- Optimized for high speed switching
- Easy to mount—no insulators needed
- Can be mounted with automated assembly equipment
- High power density
Applications:
- Switch and resonant mode DC-DC converters
- Laser drivers
- Pulse generators
- High frequency power amplifiers
