IR Introduces Family of Rugged Automotive Qualified Planar MOSFETs
EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--International Rectifier, IR® (NYSE:IRF), a world leader in power management technology, today introduced a family of automotive qualified planar MOSFETs for a variety of applications used in Internal Combustion Engine (ICE), hybrid and full electric vehicle platforms.
"By utilizing IRa™s proven planar technology, these new automotive dedicated devices perform well in linear mode and in applications where a rugged MOSFET is needed to drive highly inductive loads. Moreover, the devices are well suited to vehicles using a higher board-net voltage such as trucks"
The family of new devices utilizing IRa™s proven planar technology includes 55 V and 150 V standard gate drive N-Channel MOSFETs, and -55 V and -100 V standard gate drive P-Channel MOSFETs suitable for high-side switch applications, requiring no additional charge pump for gate drive. The 30 V, 55 V and 100 V logic level gate drive N-Channel MOSFETs simplify gate drive requirements and help reduce board space and component count. All of the new devices are optimized for low on-state resistance (RDS(on)).
aBy utilizing IRa™s proven planar technology, these new automotive dedicated devices perform well in linear mode and in applications where a rugged MOSFET is needed to drive highly inductive loads. Moreover, the devices are well suited to vehicles using a higher board-net voltage such as trucks,a said Benjamin Jackson, product manager, IRa™s Automotive Products Business Unit.
The new 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 focused Zero Defect Initiative.
All of IRa™s automotive MOSFETs are subject to dynamic and static part average testing combined with 100 percent automated wafer level visual inspection as part of IRa™s automotive quality initiative targeting zero defects. AEC-Q101 qualification requires that there is no more than a 20 percent change in RDS(on) after 1,000 temperature cycles of testing. However, in extended testing IRa™s new AU Bill Of Materials exhibited a maximum RDS(on) shift of only 12% at 5,000 temperature cycles, demonstrating the strength and ruggedness of the Bill of Materials.
