International Rectifier Adds 40 New HEXFET Power MOSFETs

International Rectifier (El Segundo, CA) has added over 40 new devices, for use in isolated converters and ranging from 2V to 5V, to its industry-leading product line of primary- and secondary-side HEXFET power MOSFETs for dc/dc conversion applications.

The company claims that these new primary- and secondary-side MOSFETs bring efficiency improvements of up to four percent for a range of circuit topologies without further design changes. The primary-side HEXFET power MOSFETs are optimized for fast switching with good RDS(on), low gate charge and VGS ratings of 30V on all products.

The new secondary-side HEXFET power MOSFETs feature fast switching with low gate charge, low RDS(on) and a range of VGS ratings from 12V to 30V to match application requirements.

Production of these devices will commence by June 2000. Pricing starts at $0.64 for 10,000 pieces for primary devices, and at $0.63 for 10,000 pieces for secondary devices.
