Infineon introduces new devices in the D²PAK 7pin+ package

     Infineon Technologies further expands the StrongIRFET™ 40-60 V MOSFET lineup with the introduction of three new devices in the D²PAK 7pin+ package. With extremely low RDS(on) and high current-carrying capacity, these new devices provide enhanced robustness and reliability for high-power density applications requiring high efficiency. The three new MOSFETs are aimed at battery-powered applications, including power tools, battery management systems and low-voltage drives.

     The new D²PAK 7pin+ package expands the already extensive StrongIRFET™ package lineup. This opens up more options to help select the ideal power device for your design challenges. In addition, the interchangeable pin arrangement options of the new package provide excellent design flexibility. Compared to the standard D²PAK 7pin package, the new family of devices has 13% less RDS(on) and 50% more current carrying capacity than the previous generation of devices. For example, the benchmark IRL40SC240 is A 40 V device with an RDS(on) of 0.65 mΩ and a current carrying capacity of 360 A.

     The package is optimized to accommodate up to 20% more bare chips, while having the same board area and pin arrangement as the standard D²PAK 7pin. As a result, traditional D²PAK 7pin and H²PAK packages can be easily replaced. In addition, the product family offers both standard and logic level gate drives, giving designers a flexible drive solution.
