Automotive MOSFETs That Drive Efficiency

The car is changing. Technology advances and innovative automotive electronic systems are driving up overall vehicle efficiency in internal combustion, hybrid and electric vehicles. However it is not just improvements in individual systems and components that are helping reduce fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and costs. Many of the real breakthroughs in vehicle efficiency are being achieved when the car is viewed as a complete, smart set of sub-systems.

When it comes to MOSFETs, NXP advanced silicon technology, package options and proven track record in the field enables designers to create new systems with confidence whilst pushing performance to a new level, giving the edge where it’s needed.
Trench6 – powering automotive developments

Our new automotive grade-technology, Trench 6, brings new levels of performance and manufacturing excellence to an already comprehensive base. With an initial product release in the industry-standard D2PAK the Trench 6 portfolio will be rolled out into all key automotive packages including NXP’s high performance, high reliability LFPAK56 Power-SO8 package. The new technology platform covers all key voltage grades: 30 V, 40 V, 60 V, 80 V & 100V with both standard and logic level gate drive variants available for every product.
100% solderable side pads for 2x2 mm low RDS(on) MOSFETs

Our range of MOSFET package options is joined by yet another package innovation from NXP. The DFN2020MD-6 is our new, ultra small 2x2 mm, leadless SMD package with 100% tin-plated solderable side pads. This makes soldering and inspection much easier, as well as improving mechanical robustness.

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

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
