NEC Electronics America Expands NP Series with Robust Power MOSFETs

New Devices Combine Higher Avalanche Capability and Higher Maximum Channel Temperature with Low On-State Resistance SANTA CLARA, Calif., Dec. 10 // -- NEC Electronics America, Inc. today announced a new family of 24-trench power MOSFETs with enhanced capabilities. The new devices in the company's NP Series feature improved ruggedness with respect to avalanche capability and channel temperature. The combination of improved ruggedness with low on-state resistance (R(DS)(on)) and input capacitance (C(iss)) makes this family ideal for meeting the performance, reliability and low power requirements in a range of automotive and industrial systems applications, including engine cooling fans, HVAC blower motor drives, electric power steering systems and integrated starter generators. The improved ruggedness is achieved by the recently developed UMOS-2R process, an enhancement of NEC Electronics' UMOS-2 trench process with a 0.5-micron design rule. This process results in a maximum repetitive avalanche energy rating of 1000 megajoules (mJ) and supports a maximum channel temperature of 200 degrees Celsius. Typical values for R(DS)(on) range from 2.9 milliohms to 5.8 milliohms and from 5500 picofarads (pF) to 9500 pF for C(iss). The devices also feature 40-volt (V) and 55V V(DSS) (voltage drain source short) ratings, two I(D) (drain current) (DC) ratings of 90 and 100 amperes and logic-/non-logic-type gate drives. The NP Series is part of NEC Electronics America's lineup of low-voltage switching devices that provides efficient power management of power supplies, automotive systems, motor controllers, office equipment, robotic devices and uninterruptible power supplies. All 24 new devices are fully AEC-Q101 qualified and RoHS compliant. The family includes devices with two V(DSS) ratings (40 V and 55 V), two I(D) (DC) ratings (90 A, 100 A) and logic/non-logic gate drive types are available in three popular packages, TO-220, TO-262 and TO-263ZP. Pricing and Availability The new family of rugged UMOS-2R power MOSFETs in RoHS-compliant packages is available now in 50-unit quantities for TO-220 packaged devices, 50-unit quantities for TO-262 packaged devices and 800-unit quantities for TO-263 packaged devices. Pricing ranges from $1.90 to $1.50 each in low volumes. (Pricing and availability are subject to change without notice.) About NEC Electronics America, Inc.
