Nexperia extends MOSFET line-up with AEC-Q101-qualified half-bridge package

Nexperia has announced a series of half-bridge (high-side and low-side) automotive MOSFETs constructed in the space-saving LFPAK56D package format. The half-bridge configuration of two MOSFETS is a standard building block for many automotive applications, including motor drives and DC/DC converters. The new package provides a half-bridge solution in one device, and occupies a 30% smaller… Read more »

Nexperia releases 80 V resistor-equipped transistor for 48 V automotive circuits

Nexperia has introduced its 80 V RET (resistor-equipped transistor) family. The company says the new RETs, or “digital transistors,” provide enough headroom for use in 48 V automotive circuits. RETs save space and reduce manufacturing costs by combining the bias resistor and bias-emitter resistor in the same SOT23 (250 mW Ptot) or SOT323 (235 mW… Read more »

Nexperia’s new AEC-Q101 MOSFETs tested to 1 billion cycles

Semiconductor manufacturer Nexperia has launched a new AEC-Q101-qualified Repetitive Avalanche Application-Specific FET (ASFET) portfolio focused on powertrain applications. The company says the devices have been tested to 1 billion avalanche cycles, and can be used to control automotive inductive loads such as solenoids and actuators. In addition to providing a faster turn-off time (up to… Read more »
