Power MOSFETs
Optimized to your needs
As designers push the boundaries of application performance, it is increasingly crucial to understand how the MOSFET will be used in the application. In the past a standard power switch with a given figure of merit (FOM) would essentially work in any application. However, to address specific application requirements or functionality, it is increasingly necessary to optimize a set of MOSFET parameters to best match those requirements. For example, applications may require enhanced linear mode performance, or repetitive avalanche functionality . Nexperia combine the proven MOSFET expertise with broad application understanding to create an expanding range of application specific MOSFETs.
Application specific power MOSFETs - incl. ASFETs for Power over Ethernet (PoE), ASFETs for Battery Isolation, ASFETs for DC Motor Control, AFETs for Hotswap and Soft Start
ASFETs for Power over Ethernet
- MOSFET’s primary role is to safely manage inrush current when capacitive loads are added to the network
- Extended enhanced Safe Operating Area (SOA) to withstand power dissipation due to short-circuit fault conditions until the PSE controller detects the fault and switches off
- Enhanced protection – our MOSFETs offer more than 2x the protection of competitive devices. During a cable short fault, our ASFETs for PoE can safely dissipate up to 30 W under +60 °C ambient for up to 20 ms
- To squeeze more high-power PoE ports into a compact router / switch requires superior power density offered by the thermal efficiency and compact footprint of the LFPAK33 package
ASFETs for Battery Isolation
- Under a fault situation, the Battery Isolation MOSFET normally goes into linear mode due to voltages being developed across circuit inductance at high current when the fault causes a deep discharge
- Strong SOA MOSFETs continue to operate safely and controllably until switch off and the battery is fully isolated from the load circuit
- A low RDS(on) is required for low conduction losses in normal operation, but parameters need to be optimized for safe Battery Isolation
- Robust Battery Isolation MOSFETs can be used as the primary protection for equipment approval
- A low Vt may be required as battery protection IC may only have 2–3 V gate drive
ASFET for Hotswap and Soft Start
- MOSFETs with a strong linear mode performance and enhanced Safe Operating Area (SOA) are required to manage in-rush current effectively and reliably when capacitive loads are introduced to the backplane
- Once a replacement board is safely powered up, the MOSFET is turned fully ON. In this mode of operation, a low RDS(on) value is of primary importance, helping to keep temperatures down and system efficiency at a maximum
ASFETs for DC Motor Control
- 50/55 V for 36 V DC motors - Optimised SOA, high ID rating and excellent avalanche capability
- High ID for motor overload conditions - Highest current capability up to 500A
- Half-bridge for space constrained motor applications - 60% lower parasitic inductance and improved thermal performance
- Repetitive avalanche for space constrained DC motors - Guaranteed repetitive avalanche performance
