Nexperia has released a low RDS (on) MOSFET of 0.57mΩ in the LFPAK56

     Nexperia, a specialist in discrete and MOSFET components as well as analog and logic integrated circuits, announced the release of its lowest-ever RDS (on) power MOSFET. Already recognized as an industry leader in low-voltage, low-RDS (ON) devices, the PSMNR51-25YLH sets a new standard of 0.57μm at 25 V. Leveraging NExista's unique NEXPOWEST3 technology to deliver market-leading performance without compromising other important parameters such as maximum leakage current (ID (max)); Safe Operating Area (SOA) or gate charge QG.

     Extremely low RDS (on) devices are needed in many applications, such as ORing, hot swap operation, synchronous rectification, motor control, and battery protection, to reduce I-R losses and increase efficiency. However, some competing devices with similar RDS (on) values suffer from reduced SOA (a robustness measure for MOSFETs) and reduced ID (max) ratings due to reduced cell spacing. NSuthiA's PSMNR51-25YLH MOSFETs offer maximum leakage current ratings up to 380 amps. In motor control applications, this parameter is especially important because motor stalling can produce very large electrical surges in a short period of time, and the MOSFETs must withstand these surges in order to operate safely and reliably. Some competitors only offer compute ID (maximum), while Nexperia demonstrates a continuous current capability of up to 380 amps.

     The device is available in LFPAK56, Nexperia's 5mm x 6mm Power-SO8-compatible package, offering a high-performance copper clip construction that absorbs thermal stress for improved quality and lifetime reliability.

     Steven Waterhouse, Product manager for Nexperia Power MOSFETs, commented: "Our latest launch of the NextPowerS3 MOSFETs means power engineers now have more options than ever to build market-leading products - batteries that last longer, motors that deliver more torque and servers that are more reliable."

     Typical applications include: battery protection; Brushless direct current (BLDC) motor control (full bridge, three-phase topology); Server power supplies for ORing, heat exchange operations, and synchronous rectification.
