NXP Introduces Range of 25 and 30V NextPower MOSFETs

May 22, 2011 by Jeff Shepard

NXP Semiconductors N.V. announced that it is shipping 15 new devices in the NextPower range of 25V and 30V MOSFETs in its LFPAK package. The latest additions to NXP’s power MOSFET portfolio deliver uniquely balanced characteristics across the six most important parameters for high-performance, high-reliability switching applications, while providing what the company says is the industry’s lowest RDS(on) with sub-1mΩ types in both 25 and 30V.

According to NXP, while traditional approaches focus primarily on reducing RDS(on) and Qg, NXP NextPower uses superjunction technology to optimize the balance between low RDS(on), low Qoss, low Qg(tot) and Qgd for strong switching performance and reduced losses between output drain and source terminals, as well as superior SOA performance. In addition, NXP LFPAK, the toughest Power-SO8, delivers rugged power switching in a compact, 5 x 6mm footprint.

"Delivering the industry’s lowest RDS(on) at 25V and 30V is only part of the story. The real breakthrough with our latest NextPower devices is that we’re also enabling control of all aspects of MOSFET behavior – above and beyond on-state resistance and gate charge – for high-performance, high-reliability switching applications with maximum power efficiency," said Charles Limonard, Marketing Manager, Power MOSFETs, NXP Semiconductors.
