Extended Temperature Mid-Voltage MOSFETs Rated at 175 C
Fairchild is enabling manufacturers to improve the reliability and performance of their products with its expanded line of extended temperature (ET) mid-voltage MOSFETs, which can operate at 175° C.
The higher operating temperatures enable up to 85 percent greater power density and three times more reliability than MOSFETs rated to the 150° C industry standard.
This family of ET MOSFETs aligns with the IPC-9592 power conversion standard, which means the maximum junction temperature can be up to 150° C, as opposed to 125° C for standard 150° C MOSFETs, to enable more design margin. The family includes 19 new devices, available in both 5mm x 6mm and 3mm x 3mm standard packages, as well as the new TOLeadless (TO-LL) package. The devices are offered in a wide range of voltage ratings, including 30V, 40V, 60V, 80V, 100V, 120V and 150V. Their outstanding combination of superior heat tolerance, greater power density and improved reliability make Fairchild’s ET MOSFET family ideal for DC-to-DC power supplies, AC-to-DC power supplies and motor drives used in a variety of applications, including avionics, micro solar inverters, power tools and telecommunications.
About Fairchild
Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc. is an American semiconductor company. Founded in 1957 as the Fairchild Camera and Instrument, Fairchild was bought by Schlumberger in 1979 and was sold to National Semiconductor in 1987. In 1997 National spun off Fairchild as an independent company. In September of 2016 ON Semiconductor acquired Fairchild for $2.4 billion.
