Infineon's 60V-150V MOSFETs Available in CanPAK™ Package, Improving Efficiency in Power Conversion Designs

Infineon Technologies (Korea CEO Seung-soo Lee) has launched mid-range voltage OptiMOS™ power MOSFET products utilizing the CanPAK™ package. These products are suitable for various types of industrial applications, including DC-DC converters, solar microinverters, maximum power point trackers (MPPTs) in solar energy systems, low-voltage drives, and synchronous rectification in servers. By adding 60V to 150V MOSFET products to the CanPAK™ product portfolio, Infineon enables power system engineers to improve design power density and efficiency, achieve superior thermal performance, and minimize required board space. This enables cost reduction and long operating life for a wide range of applications, from servers to renewable energy systems.

Compared to conventional discrete packages, the metal "can" structure of CanPAK™ enables double-sided cooling with almost no package parasitic inductance, thereby maximizing efficiency and reducing system size. The very low thermal resistance of the top surface of the package (1.5 K/W (Kelvin per Watt), compared to 55 K/W for conventional DPAK) enables efficient device cooling from static air convection of fan-assisted airflow, which is commonly used in power conversion systems for solar energy equipment or servers in data centers.

Infineon has combined the benefits of CanPAK™ with the performance of OptiMOS™ MOSFETs, which provide the industry's lowest RDS(on) and Qg across the entire voltage range. Low gate charge (Qg) is used in isolated DC-DC converters for communication applications and photovoltaic microinverters and MPPTs for solar energy systems, etc.
