Provides 900V for High Performance Switch Mode Applications
IRVINE, Calif., July 1, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Microsemi Corporation
(Nasdaq:MSCC), a leading manufacturer of high performance integrated
circuits and high reliability semiconductors, has introduced a 900V
COOLMOS(tm) switching MOSFET for high power, high performance
applications including power factor correction, server and telecom
power systems, solar inverters, arc welding, plasma cutting, battery
chargers, medical, semiconductor capital equipment and induction
heating.
The new device has the highest voltage available in superjunction
technology, while its on-resistance of 120mili-ohms is one-third that
available with conventional 900V MOSFET devices.
Key Performance Features:
* Lowest FOM
* Extreme dv/dt rated
* Best On-Resistance in TO-247 Package
* Ultra low gate charge, Q(g)
* Avalanche energy rated
Available Device:
