30mΩ 1.2kV SiC mosfet in top-side cooled package

Nexperia SiC mosfet in XPAK package

Nexperia has launched a 1,200V 30mΩ silicon carbide mosfet in a top-side-cooled plastic package with a 18.5 x 14mm footprint. The leaded package is 3.5mm thick is a SOT8107-2, according to the company, which has branded it ‘X.PAK’. The keads have a 1.27mm pitch. “This package, with its compact form factor, combines the assembly benefits of SMD with the cooling efficiency ...

40V bi-directional GaN transistors

Nexperia bi direction GaN hemt

Nexperia has introduced four 40V bi-directional GaN power transistors. With 5V gate drive, maximum on-resistance values of 1.2, 4.8, 8 or 12mΩ are available – see table below – and operation is up to 125°C. Packaging is VQFN16, WLCSP22, WLCSP16 or WLCSP12. They “support overvoltage protection, load switching and battery management systems in mobile devices and laptop computers”, according to ...

Protection diodes for 10BASE-T1S automotive single-pair Ethernet

Nexperia 10BASE-T1S protection diode cct

Nexperia is claiming a first for an ESD protection diodes compliant to Open Alliance requirements for 10BASE-T1S automotive Ethernet – a member of the ‘single-pair Ethernet’ family. “The exceptionally low capacitance – 0.4pF – of these diodes means they can also be used to protect higher speed applications deploying 100BASE-T1 or 1000BASE-T1 in-vehicle networks while still maintaining signal integrity,” according ...

Tiny automotive leadless ICs

IMG_0568-300x200.jpeg

Nexperia has brought out a portfolio of logic ICs in tiny automotive-qualified MicroPak XSON5 leadless packaging. MicroPak XSON5 is a thermally enhanced plastic enclosure with a 75% smaller PCB footprint than traditional leaded mini logic packages, that also features side-wettable flanks to support automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints. Leadless packaging with side-wettable flanks improves manufacturing reliability by allowing ...

110V 4A half-bridge gate driver

Nexperia NGD4300 gate driver

Nexperia has introduced a 110V 4A half-bridge gate driver IC. “NGD4300 has been designed for use with dc-dc converters in consumer devices, servers and telecommunications equipment as well as for micro-inverters used in various industrial applications,” according to the company, which is also producing an automotive-qualified version: NGD4300-Q100 for power steering, for example. 4A is the peak sourcing current, and ...

Small-signal mosfets in 1.1x1mm and 1.4×1.2mm DFN packaging

Nexperia DFN1110D-3 DFN1412-6

Nexperia has put more single and dual small-signal mosfets into DFN1110D-3 (SOT8015) and DFN1412-6 (SOT1268) packages, with side-wettable flanks for automated optical inspection. “The 1.1 x 1mm DFN1110D-3 package has seen increasingly wide adoption, and is quickly becoming the de-facto industry standard package for small-signal mosfets and bipolar transistors intended for use in automotive applications,” according to the company. “Superior ...

Excellent ‘free’ book on bipolar transistors (and other excellent free books too)

Nexperia BJT Handbook front cover

There is some hogwash out there, masquerading as engineering white papers, which are really just click bait to get your contact details. And there are some gems available for the same price. And, in my opinion, ‘BJT. Bipolar junction transistor application handbook‘ from Nexperia is one of the gems. The price is handing over your name, company name and email ...

1.5A ideal diode and reverse polarity protection in 2.1 x 1.25mm

Nexperia NID5100 ideal diode block

Nexperia has put an ideal diode, including its p-channel mosfet, and reverse polarity protection, in a 2.1 x 1.25 x 0.95mm TSSOP6 package. Called NID5100, it is aimed at industrial and consumer applications, and has an automotive-qualified cousin named NID5100-Q100. “NID5100 supports ‘OR-ing’ multiple power supplies while retaining reverse polarity protection and provides fast response time for smooth power transfer,” ...

80 and 100V mosfets in 5×6 and 8×8 LFPAK
