IR Introduces 150 & 200V MOSFETs With Low Gate Charge For Industrial Applications

August 13, 2009 by Jeff Shepard

International Rectifier (IR)® introduced a series of 150 and 200V HEXFET® power MOSFETs with ultra low gate charge (Qg) for industrial applications including Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS), uninterruptable power supplies (UPS), inverters and dc motor drives. IR’s 150V MOSFETs offer up to 59% lower total gate charge than competing devices while the new 200V MOSFETs feature up to 33% lower total gate charge than competing devices.

"As dc-dc power converter applications advance and switching frequencies increase, input capacitance and gate charge play a significant role in overall efficiency. IR’s new 150 and 200V MOSFETs are optimized for fast switching circuits where switching losses are critical, and, therefore, are well suited as a primary switch for isolated dc-dc converters for telecom applications or driving light load efficiency in any advanced dc-dc application," said Brian LaValle, Marketing Manager for IR’s Power Management Devices Business Unit.

The new MOSFETs are qualified to industrial grade and are moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1). The devices are available in TO220, D2PAK, TO262, DPAK and IPAK packages, offered lead free and are RoHS compliant.

The new devices are available immediately. Pricing begins at US $0.83 each and US $0.82 each for the IRFB4615PBF and IRFB4620PBF respectively in 10,000-unit quantities. Prices are subject to change.
