100V Power MOSFETs Feature Low Qrr and High 175°C Rating

March 14, 2018 by Paul Shepard

Nexperia announced its NextPower 100V family of power MOSFETs which delivers low reverse recovery charge (Qrr) and includes parts that are qualified to 175°C in the LFPAK56 (PowerSO8) package.

NextPower 100V MOSFETs are Nexperia’s latest generation parts recommended for high efficiency switching and high reliability applications.  With 50% lower RDS(on) and strong avalanche energy rating, they are ideally suited for power supply, telecom and industrial designs, especially suiting USB-PD Type-C chargers and adaptors and 48V dc-dc adaptors.

The devices feature low body diode losses with QRR down to 50nC - resulting in lower reverse recovery current (IRR), lower voltage spikes (Vpeak) and reduced ringing which allows for further optimized dead-time.

Comments Mike Becker, Product Manager for Power MOSFETs: “Qrr is a frequently overlooked parameter, yet it can have a significant effect on many design aspects. Low spiking means EMI is reduced, while optimized dead-time gives further efficiency gains, which is our driving ambition at Nexperia. We have shown that low Qrr is beneficial to both functions.”

The new NextPower 100V MOSFETs are available in three packages: TO220 and I2PAK thru-hole devices, and the widely acclaimed LFPAK56 package (SMT).

All package variants feature Tj(max) of 175°C, and fully meet the extended temperature requirements of IPC9592, making NextPower 100 V MOSFETs especially suitable for telecom and computing applications.
