New Vishay Siliconix 12-V TrenchFET® Gen III Power MOSFET Features Industry-Best 1.2-mW Maximum On-Resistance at 10 V and 1.7 mW at 4.5 V
Device Offers Industry-Best On-Resistance Times Gate Charge FOM of 85 nC
MALVERN, PENNSYLVANIA - July 24, 2009 - Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today expanded its family of Gen III TrenchFET® power MOSFETs down to 12 V with the release of a new n-channel device offering the industry's lowest on-resistance and on-resistance times gate charge for a device with this voltage rating.
The 12-V SiR494DP features a maximum on-resistance of 1.2 mW at a 10-V gate drive and 1.7 mW at a 4.5-V gate drive. On-resistance times gate charge, a key figure of merit (FOM) for MOSFETs in dc-to-dc converter applications, is 85 nC at 4.5 V.
Compared to the closest competing devices optimized for low conduction losses and low switching losses, these specifications represent an improvement for on-resistance of 40 % at 10 V and 35°% at 4.5 V, and a 29 % lower FOM. Lower on-resistance and gate charge translate into lower conduction and switching losses.
The Vishay Siliconix SiR494DP will be used as the low-side MOSFET in synchronous buck converters with low input voltages (5 V to 3.3 V), in OR-ing applications with low output voltages (5 V, 3.3 V, and below), and in a wide range of systems using point-of-load (POL) power conversion with input voltages of 5 V and 3.3 V, where its low conduction and switching losses will enable more efficient use of power.
For applications with low output voltages, a 12-V drain-to-source rating may be perfectly adequate, but until now designers were forced to use 20-V devices, especially if they were looking for the combination of the lowest available on-resistance and a 20-V gate-to-source drive. The SiR494DP is the first power MOSFET to combine all three: VDS = 12 V, VGS = ± 20 V, and on-resistance of just 1.2 mW at a 10-V gate drive.
The new power MOSFET is offered in the PowerPAK® SO-8 package. The device is lead (Pb)-free, halogen-free according to IEC 61249-2-21, compliant with RoHS Directive 2002/96/EC, and is 100 % Rg- and UIS-tested.
Detailed information for other devices within the n-channel TrenchFET Gen III family is available at http://www.vishay.com/mosfets/trenchf....
Samples and production quantities of the SiR494DP are available now, with lead times of 10 to 12 weeks for large orders.
