Toshiba releases 2 new -60V P-channel MOSFETs
Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH (“Toshiba”) announced the availability of two more -60V.P-channel MOSFETs based upon their U-MOS VI process. This will expand their range of devices that are suitable for use in automotive applications such as load switches, semiconductor relays and motor drives. These new MOSFETs offer high performance and excellent reliability, making them suitable for use in high-performance power supplies, motor drives, renewable energy systems, and other demanding applications. The -60V voltage rating of these MOSFETs enables them to operate in a wide range of power systems.
The new XPH8R316MC and XPH13016MC are already qualified to meet AEC-Q101 – the automotive reliability standard. As part of this, they are housed in an SOP Advance(WF) package – a surface mount style with a wettable flank terminal structure. Furthermore, this facilitates automated optical inspection (AOI) of the solder joints – key to reliability in harsh automotive environments. An additional advantage is the copper connectivity within the package that reduces package resistance, improves efficiency and reduces heat build-up.
The XPH8R316MC is rated for -90A continuous drain current (ID) and the XPH13016MC is rated for an ID of -60A. The pulsed drain current (IDP) is double these values, -180A and -120A, respectively. Both devices are rated for a drain-source voltage (VDSS) of -60V. Moreover, they are capable of operating at channel temperatures (Tch) up to 175ºC.
The maximum drain-source on-resistance (RDS(ON)) of the XPH8R316MC is 8.3mΩ, which is approximately 25% lower than Toshiba’s existing TPCA8123. For the XPH13016MC, the value is 12.9mΩ, approximately 49% lower than the TPCA8125. These highly reduced values of RDS(ON) contribute significantly to reducing power consumption within automotive applications.
The new devices are in mass production.
