Press Release Summary:
Available in hermetic, discrete packages, POWER MOS 7® transistors utilize metal on polysilicon gate structure. Products offer low gate charge (Qg) and 0.038-3.0 ohms On-Resistance, which results in maximum current carrying capacities from 4.0-54 A. Offered with breakdown voltages from 200-1,000 V, devices are suited for DC/DC converters, Power Factor Correction (PFC) pre-regulators, switchmode power supplies, motor controls, and inverters.
Original Press Release:
New High Power Hermetic MOFSETs Provide Extremely Low Switching and Conduction Losses for Use in Harsh Environments
Bend OR..... Advanced Power Technology (NASDAQ: APTI) is pleased to announce its new generation of high voltage MOSFETs designated POWER MOS 7® are now available in hermetic, discrete packages. POWER MOS 7® has up to 60% lower total gate charge (Qg) than the current POWER MOS V® generation devices. In addition, POWER MOS 7® has up to a 30% reduction in On-Resistance (RDS(on)) resulting in up to a 20% increase in maximum current carrying capacity (ID). Overall these new devices offer an extremely low combined power loss Figure of Merit, RDS(on) X Qg, enabling smaller, more efficient, and more reliable power conversion.
Utilizing APT's patented metal on polysilicon gate structure, the internal chip gate resistance is one or two orders of magnitude lower than comparable industry standard polysilicon gate devices. This, combined with lower capacitances, Qg, and RDS(on) makes these MOS 7® devices extremely fast switching as well as having lower conduction losses.
- 200V to 1000V Breakdown
- 0.038 to 3.0 ohms RDS(on)
- 4.0 to 54 Amps ID
- Low Capacitances and low Qg for fast switching and low switching losses
- Low RDS(on) for reduced conduction losses and increased power dissipation
- Built in hermetic TO-257, TO-254, and TO-258 packages for Hi-Rel applications or harsh environments where added protection is required
- Military screening available
Applications
Applications for these devices include DC/DC converters, Power Factor Correction (PFC) Pre-Regulators, Switchmode Power Supplies, Motor Controls, and Inverters used in Aerospace and Military applications or other harsh environmental applications. Parts are available with and without Mil-PRF-19500 type screening.
Data sheets are available to assist the designer, describing the features and benefits of these new MOSFETs in greater detail. These may be downloaded from APT's website at advancedpower.com or obtained from the factory.
Availability and Pricing
Limited samples are available now with volume production also available now. Small volume pricing (500 pieces) ranges from $61.86 to $83.60. Military screening option is available.
