High-voltage MOSFET for low-frequency switching
25 March 2020
Power Electronics / Power Management
With the introduction of the 600 V CoolMOS S7 SJ MOSFET family – uniquely fitting a 22 mΩ chip into an innovative SMD package – Infineon Technologies is aiming to set a new benchmark for power density, while also addressing new markets.
The S7 sets a high standard in solid-state relay and smart circuit breaker design, offering an extremely low RDS(on) and a figure of merit at a price point that meet the needs of designers and their end markets. What’s more, a solid-state relay can be far smaller than an electromechanical alternative, leading to a reduction in volume of over 95%.
Static switching applications, like active bridge rectification, inverter stages, in-rush relays, PLCs, solid-state circuit breakers and relays can benefit from the device’s low conduction losses and price/performance ratio.
