Superjunction MOSFET innovation brings the world’s lowest RDS(on) to hard switching applications
The new C7 product family provides Best-in-Class R DS(on) for all standard packages and – thanks to its low switching losses – efficiency improvements over the full load range.
C7 is optimized for hard switching topologies such as Continuous Conduction Mode Power Factor Correction (CCM PFC), Two Transistor Forward (TTF) and Solar Boost. Typical applications are solar, server, telecom and UPS (uninterruptible power supply). The 650 V breakdown voltage also makes C7 suitable for applications which require extra safety margin.
The C7 series offers the world’s lowest R DS(on) of 19 mΩ in a TO-247 package and 45 mΩ in the TO-220 and D 2PAK packages. The fast switching performance of C7 now enables customers for the first time to operate at switching frequencies greater than 100 kHz whilst achieving Titanium levels of efficiency in Server PFC stages. This enables higher power density by reducing the space requirements for the passive components.
Reduced energy in the output capacitance (E OSS) as well as the low gate charge (Qg) bring efficiency benefits also at light load conditions. Combining the Best-in-Class performance of C7 with Infineon’s new Silicon Carbide (SiC) thinQ! Generation 5 Schottky Diode series and the ICE2 / ICE3 Control ICs claim to offer designers unrivaled performance for CCM PFC circuits.
