International Rectifier has launched a series of 150 V and 200 V HEXFET power MOSFETs with ultra low gate charge for industrial applications including switch mode power supplies (SMPS), uninterruptable power supplies (UPS), inverters and DC motor drives.
As DC-DC power converter applications advance and switching frequencies increase, input capacitance and gate charge play a significant role in overall efficiency. These new MOSFETs are optimised for fast switching circuits where switching losses are critical, and, therefore, are well suited as a primary switch for isolated DC-DC converters for telecom applications or driving light load efficiency in any advanced DC-DC application.
The new MOSFETs are qualified to industrial grade and are moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1). The devices are available in TO220, D2PAK, TO262, DPAK and IPAK packages, offered lead-free and are RoHS compliant.
