New Power MOSFET Products by RENESAS

Renesas Electronics has released three new power MOSFET products, the RJK0210DPA, RJK0211DPA, and RJK0212DPA, designed for DC/DC converters that area used in such application as general point-of-load, base stations, computer servers as well as notebook PCs. The new power MOSFET are capable of controlling the voltage conversion circuits of the CPU and memory, like being used as a step-down circuit for converting the 12-volt voltage supplies by a battery to 1.05 V for use by CPU. The new products achieve approximately 40% lower figure of merit (FOM), on-state resistance times gate charge in comparison to the company’s existing products, resulting in reduction of power loss during the voltage conversion.

Furthermore, the new power MOSFET feature a voltage tolerance of 25 V and maximum current of 40 amps (A) RJK0210DPA, 30 A for the RJK0211DPA and 25 A for the RJK0212DPA device. The new MOSFET uses company’s WPAK package measuring 5.1 x 6.1 mm and 0.8 mm thick. The underside of the device has a die pad allowing heat to pass to the printed wiring board while the MOSFET is operating, allowing the power MOSFET to handle large current. Samples of all three MOSFET are currently available with mass production to commence in December of 2010, with a planned monthly production of 2,000,000 units by July 2011.
