100V Nexperia MOSFETs deliver ultra-low conduction losses

Nexperia has launched its new AEC-Q101 qualified 100 V MOSFETs, in compact CCPAK1212 (12 x 12 mm) copper-clip packaging.
These devices are said deliver ultra-low conduction losses with on-resistance (RDS(on)) as low as 0.99 mΩ, and enable safe current above 460 A, making them suitable for thermally demanding 48 V automotive applications, including on-board chargers (OBC), traction inverters, and battery management systems (BMS).
In addition to passenger vehicles, the new MOSFETs also benefit 2- and 3-wheel e-mobility, DC-DC converters, and industrial high-current modules, where efficiency and thermal reliability are equally critical.
With automotive equipment manufacturers moving rapidly from 12 V to 48 V subsystems, minimising conduction losses is critical. To achieve this, designers typically connect several MOSFETs in parallel to meet performance needs, but this approach can increase component count and board space required.
Nexperia says that with their ultra-low RDS(on) and high power density, the CCPAK1212 MOSFETs reduce the need for parallel-connected devices, as well as saving up to 40 percent PCB space compared to traditional TOLL- or TOLT-packaged alternatives due to their compact size.
To maximise design flexibility, the devices are available in a choice of inverted top-side cooled (CCPAK1212i) and bottom-side cooled (CCPAK1212) versions.
