Power MOSFETs with 8-pin HSON package
31 August 2010
Renesas Electronics has introduced seven new MOSFETs equipped in HSON packages.
These are for use in automotive electronics control units for applications including direct injection engine management and electric pump motor control.
The new products, including N-channel MOSFETs with voltage ratings of 40V and 60V and P-channel MOSFETs with a voltage rating of –30V, can be used for solenoids and motor switching or to protect against reversed battery conditions.
They are available in HSON packages that are approximately half the size of the existing TO-252 package. These can switch currents up to 75A DC, and support channel temperatures up to 175°C.
Furthermore, the NP75N04YUG device features continuous current of 75A and a low on-resistance maximum rating of 4.8mΩ.
The number of vehicle electronic control units increases each year, creating a need to minimise module size and weight while maximising functionality. Renesas Electronics’ new power MOSFET products were designed specifically to meet the demand for compact, power-dense systems. The newly developed 8-pin HSON package retains the same performance as larger TO-252 package MOSFET products.
In fact, this newly developed 8-pin HSON package has 48% of the surface area of the previous TO-252 package. In spite of its compact size, the NP75N04YUG power MOSFET has a low channel-to-case thermal resistance of 1.09°C/W, so it can handle a maximum continuous power level of 138W when the case temperature is fixed at 25°C.
The NP74N04YUG, NP75N04YUG, and NP75P03YDG power MOSFETs manage currents up to 75A. Multiple aluminium interconnects, a proven technology in automotive MOSFET packaging, contributes to improved large-current capability.
The seven new devices form part of Renesas’ NP-series of automotive power MOSFETs, and are specified up to 175°C channel temperature and are qualified to AEC-Q101 automotive standards. These MOSFET products are also suitable for use in high-temperature environments such as the engine compartment.
