Next-Generation TrenchFET® Gen IV 30 V N-Channel Power MOSFETs Feature On-Resistance Down to 1.0 mΩ at 10 V and 1.35 mΩ at 4.5 V

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced the first devices in its next-generation TrenchFET® Gen IV family of 30 V n-channel power MOSFETs. Utilizing a new high-density design, the SiRA00DP, SiRA02DP, SiRA04DP, and SiSA04DN offer industry-low on-resistance down to 1.35 mΩ at 4.5 V and low Miller charge, Qgd, down to 1.8 nC in the PowerPAK® SO-8 and 1212-8 packages.

The new Vishay Siliconix TrenchFET IV power MOSFETs incorporate technological improvements in silicon design, wafer processing, and device packaging to deliver a number of benefits to designers of today’s power electronics systems. With a reduction in on-resistance times silicon area of over 60 % compared to previous-generation devices, the SiRA00DP is able to demonstrate extremely low RDS(on) values of 1.0 mΩ at 10 V and an industry-best 1.35 mΩ at 4.5 V. For designers, the MOSFETs’ low on-resistance translates into lower conduction losses for reduced power consumption and higher efficiency.

TrenchFET Gen IV MOSFETs offer a new structure that utilizes a very high-density design without significantly increasing the gate charge, overcoming a problem often associated with high cell count devices. The MOSFETs released today offer low total gate charge and therefore low on-resistance times gate charge figures of merit (FOM) down to 56 nC-Ω at 4.5 V for the SiRA04DP.

The SiRA00DP, SiRA02DP, and SiRA04DP provide increased system efficiency and lower temperatures in the 6.15 mm by 5.15 mm PowerPAK® SO-8 package, while the SiSA04DN offers similar efficiency with a third of the size in the 3.30 mm by 3.30 mm PowerPAK 1212-8 package. All of the devices released today offer a very low Qgd/Qgs ratio of 0.5 or less. This lower ratio can help to prevent shoot-thru by lowering gate induced voltages.

The SiRA00DP, SiRA02DP, SiRA04DP, and SiSA04DN are optimized for high power density DC/DC converters, synchronous rectification, synchronous buck converters, and OR-ing applications. Typical end products include switch mode power supplies, voltage regulator modules (VRMs), POLs, telecom bricks, PCs, and servers.

The TrenchFET Gen IV devices are 100 % Rg and UIS tested. They are halogen-free according to the IEC 61249-2-21 definition and RoHS-compliant.

Vishay Siliconix was the industry’s first supplier to introduce Trench power MOSFETs. The company’s TrenchFET intellectual property includes numerous patents, including fundamental technology patents dating from the early 1980s. Each new generation of TrenchFET technology yields products that raise the bar for power MOSFET performance in a wide range of computing, communications, consumer electronics, and many other applications.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin
