Advanced Power Unveils New Power MOS FREDFETs

August 15, 2002 by Jeff Shepard

Advanced Power Technology Inc. (APT, Bend, OR) announced a new line of 550V and 1,100V POWER MOS 7® FREDFETs designed to provide an additional voltage safety margin for increased system reliability. The new high-performance FREDFETs utilize APT’s advanced proprietary POWER MOS 7® metal-on-polysilicon-gate-structure technology, which lowers the internal chip gate resistance up to two orders of magnitude compared to industry-standard, polysilicon, gate devices. This, combined with low gate charge and on-resistance, makes the 550V and 1,100V FREDFETs a suitable choice for high performance and system reliability.

The 550V and 1,100V lines are available in TO-247, T-MAX, TO-264, 264-Max and Isotop® (SOT-227) molded plastic packages. Product samples are available in a wide range of on-resistances and current ratings. Hermetic packaging, hi-rel screening options, unpackaged die and lot-acceptance testing are also available. Pricing ranges from $5.62 to $59.46 in 1,000-piece quantities.
