IR Announces New Family of Automotive-Qualified MOSFETs

April 07, 2011 by Jeff Shepard

International Rectifier IR® introduced a family of rugged automotive qualified MOSFETs for a range of applications used in Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) and hybrid vehicle platforms.

Utilizing IR’s proven planar technology, the new MOSFET devices are available in an SO-8 package. Comprising both single and dual N and P channel devices, in addition to N and P channel devices integrated into a single package, the new family offers a rugged, compact system solution for driving multiple outputs or half-bridge circuits in automotive applications.

"Available in a wide range of voltages and configurations in an SO-8 package and utilizing IR’s planar technology, our latest family of automotive-qualified MOSFETs provides a rugged compact solution well suited to applications where a robust MOSFET is needed to drive both resistive and inductive loads," said Benjamin Jackson, product manager, IR’s Automotive Products Business Unit.

IR’s automotive MOSFETs are subject to dynamic and static part average testing combined with 100% automated wafer level visual inspection as part of IR’s automotive quality initiative targeting zero defects.

The new devices are qualified according to AEC-Q101 standards, feature an environmentally friendly, lead-free and RoHS compliant bill of materials.

Pricing ranges from US $0.33 each for the AUIRF9952Q in 100,000-unit quantities to US $0.62 each in 100,000-unit quantities for the AUIRF7805Q. Production orders are available immediately.
