International Rectifier Wins Industry Accolades for Innovative Products
EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--International Rectifier, IR® (NYSE: IRF), a world leader in power management technology, today announced that the company has received industry recognition for two of its power management product lines tailored for automotive, and multiphase and point-of-load (POL) applications.
"As a power management leader, IR continues to invest in R&D in order to introduce solutions that meet the needs of todaya™s engineering community and we are pleased to receive industry recognition for our automotive qualified DirectFET®2 devices and GaN-based integrated iP2010 power stage product"
The AUIRF7738L2 and AUIRF7737L2 DirectFET®2 MOSFETs received Electronic Design magazinea™s Best Electronic Design award for 2010 in the Automotive category. The automotive-qualified AUIRF7738L2 and AUIRF7737L2 offer overall system level size and cost reductions along with superior performance and efficiency when compared to traditional standard plastic packaged components. Featuring a PCB footprint 60 percent smaller than a D2Pak, the AUIRF7738L2 and AUIRF7737L2 DirectFET®2 devices deliver exceptionally low on-state resistance (RDS(on)), while the AUIRF7736M2 features a PCB footprint the same size as a 5x6 mm PQFN or SO-8 package with low RDS(on) of 2.5mOhm, making it suitable for more cost sensitive lower power applications. The devices are qualified according to AEC-Q101 standards, feature an environmentally friendly, lead-free and RoHS compliant bill of materials, and are part of IRa™s automotive quality initiative targeting zero defects.

The editors of EDN magazine have voted IRa™s first commercial integrated power stage product utilizing IRa™s revolutionary Gallium Nitride (GaN)-based power device technology platform to its aEDN Hot 100 Productsa list. Designed for multiphase and point-of-load (POL) applications including servers, routers, switches and general purpose POL DC-DC converters, the iP2010 integrates a highly sophisticated, ultra fast PowIRtuneTM driver IC matched to a multi-switch monolithic GaN-based power device. The device is mounted in a flip chip package platform to deliver higher efficiency and more than double the switching frequency of state-of-the-art silicon-based integrated power stage devices. Available in an LGA package with small footprint, both devices are optimized for very low power loss, feature highly efficient dual-sided cooling, and are RoHS compliant.
