Smaller, Tougher 650V and 800V MOSFETs from STMicroelectronics
STMicroelectronics is expanding three of its advanced high-voltage power MOSFET families with the introduction of two new power packages. These products are targeted at making energy-conscious equipment such as battery chargers, solar micro-inverters and computer power supplies more compact, robust and reliable.
ST's advanced PowerFLAT 5x6 HV and PowerFLAT 5x6 VHV packages provide the large insulation path lengths and clearances required for operation at up to 650V or 800V, within the same 5mm x 6mm footprint of a standard 100V PowerFLAT 5x6. This is 52% smaller than the popular DPAK footprint.
Additionally the package is 1mm high and features a large exposed metal drain pad that maximizes heat dissipation into pc-board thermal vias.
The company says this combination of features simultaneously increases high-voltage capability, ruggedness, reliability, and system power density.
