Wednesday, August 26, 2015 3:45PM IST (10:15AM GMT)   GER:IFX(GER:IFX) New Infineon Power MOSFETs Make Electrical Appliances More Compact and Durable   Munich, Germany DIY tools such as cordless drills and saws have to be handy and durable. Therefore, the electronic components used in the applications need to be space-saving and rugged. Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) has extended its StrongIRFET™ Power MOSFET family and thereby provides a solution that fulfills both requirements. The Logic Level StrongIRFETs™ can be driven directly from a microcontroller, saving space and cutting costs. Additionally, the MOSFETs are highly rugged and thus help lengthen the service life of the electronic devices.   The tried and tested StrongIRFET family enables highest energy efficiency in electric appliances. With the logic level extension, Infineon meets the market’s demand for StrongIRFETs that do not require a stand-alone driver. In the logic level variant the necessary gate-source voltage is reduced to 4.5 V. This makes it possible to directly connect the MOSFET with the microcontroller in many applications.   “The Logic Level StrongIRFETs deliver two decisive advantages. They reduce the complexity of the electronic design in various applications and show an unmatched ruggedness,” says Stéphane Ernoux, Product Marketing Director, Power Management and Multimarket Division.   The characteristic performance features of the StrongIRFET family have been retained in the logic level extension: Low on-state resistance (0.52 mΩ typ. and 0.97 mΩ max.) for reduced conduction losses, high current carrying capability for increased power capability and rugged silicon all make for high system reliability.   Specifications   Part Number Breakdown Voltage (V) Package (Outline) Current rating  (A) RDS(on) typ/max at 4.5 V (mΩ) IRL7472L1TRPBF 40 Large Can DirectFET™ (L8) 375 0.52/0.97 IRL7486MTRPBF 40 Medium Can DirectFET™ (ME) 209 1.5/2.0 IRL40B209 40 TO-220 195 1.2/1.6 IRL40B212 40 TO-220 195 1.9/2.4 IRL40S212 40 D2PAK 195 1.9/2.4 IRL40B215 40 TO-220 120 2.8/3.5 IRL60B216 60 TO-220 195 1.7/2.2   Availability Production orders are available immediately.
