D3 Semiconductors launches its first power MOSFETs
The +FET MOSFETs enable high-efficiency solutions for a range of hard-switched applications, including PFC boost and inverters used in telecom, enterprise computing, UPS and solar energy converters.
The +FET product roll-out includes over 50 devices with 13 different RDS(ON) ratings ranging from 1000 mΩ to 32 mΩ. Packages types include traditional through-hole TO-220 and TO-220FP, surface-mount DPAK and D2PAK, and advanced surface-mount 5×6 and 8×8 devices.
The high efficiency of the new +FET MOSFETs is gained by lowering switching and conduction losses and helps to simplify thermal management. Smoother switching behaviour reduces switching noise and drives faster design cycles by lowering the need for snubber circuits. The advantage of higher current capacity per package type improves power supply density, which in turn enables the use of advanced surface-mount packages in higher power designs.
“In addition to the +FET’s excellent performance and reliability, our roadmap is changing the DNA of power devices by infusing mixed-signal functions into high-voltage switching devices,” said Tom Harrington, D3 Semi’s Chief Technology Officer.
“The initial product lineup of +FET devices are high-performance superjunction MOSFETs that offer socket-for-socket alternatives to competitive parts,” said Marty Brown, Senior Consultant for D3. “Their capabilities place more control into the designer’s hands so that systems can be optimized for power density while reducing design cycle time. Extensive benchmarking of these products is already proving their world-class, competitive performance.”
Founded in late 2011, D3 Semiconductor delivers motor controllers and gate drivers along with reference designs for motor control applications and power supplies through its ecosystem of affiliated companies, including Theta Power Systems, Terigo Semiconductor and D3 Semiconductor Asia (D3 Asia).
Pricing for the 650V/80mOhm +FET in 1k quantities starts at $1.84
