NEC Electronics America Adds New Device to Lineup of Power MOSFETs with Ultra-Low On-State Resistance
NP180N04TUG Power MOSFET Features Super-Low On Resistance of 1.5 Milliohms SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 16 / / -- NEC Electronics America, Inc., today introduced the newest addition to its lineup of NP Series low- voltage power MOSFETs with ultra-low on-state resistance (RDS(on)). The new NP180N04TUG power MOSFET features an advanced architecture and advanced package designed to manage heat dissipation and reduce power loss with one of the industry's lowest RDS(on) levels, 1.5 milliohms (maximum). Operating at 40 volts (V) voltage drain source (Vds) and 180 amperes (A), the new device is ideal for applications such as automotive systems, low-voltage DC motor controllers and uninterruptible power supplies that require high current capability, stringent power management and high reliability. Several key challenges are emerging as the demand for power management devices in automotive applications increases. In addition to having to meet the requirements for lower overall chip costs and lower on resistance for better handling of heat dissipation, today's MOSFETs must pass rigorous testing processes to comply with exacting requirements for these application areas. With its advanced process and packaging, NEC Electronics' NP180N04TUG power MOSFET can help designers overcome these challenges and hit their required cost and design targets. The NP180N04TUG power MOSFET is manufactured with NEC Electronics' UMOS-4 trench process technology, which achieves an ultra-fine design rule of 0.25 microns and results in higher cell density, up to 160 million cells per square inch, which enables lower RDS(on) over a given area of silicon. The device also features NEC Electronics' advanced TO-263-7 package, which uses a unique multi-bonding technology that doubles the number of bonding wires from two to four. Additional bond wires lower RDS(on) while improving the MOSFET's current-carrying capabilities up to 180A. NEC Electronics' NP180N04TUG power MOSFET is rated for both single and repetitive avalanche energy and for operation up to 175 degrees Celsius at a gate voltage of 10V and a drain voltage of 40V. The NP Series is part of NEC Electronics America's lineup of low-voltage switching devices that provide efficient power management in high-frequency power supplies for automotive systems, motor controllers, office equipment, robotics devices and uninterruptible power supplies. All NP Series MOSFETs are qualified to meet the Automotive Electronics Council AEC-Q101 standard. Pricing and Availability The NP180N04TUG power MOSFET, in a RoHS-compliant package, is available now in 800-unit quantities, with pricing starting at $2.50 each in low volumes.
