Infineon Launches OptiMOS™ 5 80V and 100V Power MOSFETs Offering Industry-Lowest On-State Resistance

February 24, 2015, Seoul - Infineon Technologies (Korea CEO Lee Seung-soo) announced that it has added 80V and 100V products to its OptiMOS™ 5 product family. These next-generation power MOSFETs are optimized for high switching frequencies used in synchronous rectification applications in communications equipment and server power supplies, as well as industrial applications such as photovoltaic, low-voltage drives, and power adapters. These new OptiMOS 5 MOSFETs deliver the industry's lowest on-state resistance (RDS(on)), reducing on-state resistance by up to 45 percent for 80V products and up to 24 percent for 100V products compared to the previous generation. This reduction in resistance significantly decreases the necessity for paralleling, enabling material cost savings. These next-generation products deliver the highest power density and energy efficiency levels.

Compared to the previous generation, OptiMOS 5 80V products reduce output charge by 38 percent, and OptiMOS 5 100V products reduce it by 25 percent. By reducing output charge, switching losses can be reduced and voltage overshoot can be lowered in hard switching topologies and synchronous rectification applications. This simplifies design and reduces development costs. Furthermore, by reducing gate charge by approximately 24 percent for 80V products and 29 percent for 100V products, switching losses are reduced, particularly under light load conditions and across the entire load range in applications requiring high efficiency such as power optimizers in microinverters and photovoltaic applications.

Availability

OptiMOS 5 80V and 100V products are available in seven packages: SuperSO8, S308, TO-Leadless, TO-220, TO-220 FullPAK, D²PAK, and D²PAK 7Pin. The 80V products feature RDS(on) ranging from 1~4mOhm, 4~8mOhm, and 8~12mOhm, while the 100V products range from 1~4mOhm, 4~8mOhm, and 8~10mOhm. Samples are currently being supplied for both voltage grades and all packages, and volume production is underway.
