Toshiba launches latest 100V N-channel MOSFET
Toshiba has launched the TPH2R70AR5, a new 100V-rated N-channel power MOSFET fabricated with its latest-generation process, known as U-MOS11-H.
The MOSFET will be primarily used in switched-mode power supply (SMPS) applications, particularly high-efficiency DC-DC converters. Key application sectors will be within data centres, communications base stations, and other high-end industrial equipment.
Due to the new 100V U-MOS11-H process, the TPH2R70AR5 offers performance advantages over devices manufactured with the existing U-MOSX-H process. For example, compared to the earlier TPH3R10AQM, the drain-source on-resistance (RDS(ON)) has reduced by around 8 percent to just 2.7mΩ (max.) while the total gate charge (Qg) is now 37 percent lower at 52nC (typ.). The RDS(ON) x Qg figure-of-merit (FoM) is therefore improved by 42 percent.
In addition, the TPH2R70AR5 achieves high-speed body diode performance through the application of lifetime control technology. As a result, compared to the TPH3R10AQM, switching speed is improved and, additionally, the diode recovery time and noise are reduced. Lifetime control technology also reduces reverse recovery charge (Qrr) to 55nC (typ.) and suppresses voltage spikes. The RDS(ON) x Qrr FoM is improved by around 43 percent.
The prominent RDS(ON), Qg, and Qrr characteristics reduce both conduction and switching losses, contributing to higher efficiency in power-related applications. This reduces the operating cost and permits greater power density. Housed in the SOP Advance (N) package measuring just 5.15mm x 6.1mm, the device offers excellent mounting compatibility with industry standards.
The new TPH2R70AR5 is rated for a maximum drain current (ID) of 190A at an ambient temperature of 25°C. The device is capable of operating with a channel temperature (Tch) up to 175°C, thereby reducing the need for cooling measures.
Shipments of the TPH2R70AR5 start with immediate effect.
