ROHM’s Compact SOT-223-3 600V <span style='color:red'>MOSFET</span>s Contribute to Smaller, Lower Profile Designs for Lighting Power Supplies, Pumps, and Motors
  ROHM has added a lineup of compact 600V Super Junction MOSFETs - the R6004END4 / R6003KND4 / R6006KND4 / R6002JND4 / R6003JND4. These devices are ideal for small lighting power supplies, pumps, and motors.  In recent years, power supplies for lighting and motors for pumps are required to be smaller as devices become more sophisticated - spurring the demand for compact MOSFETs that are essential for switching operation.  Generally, however, it has been difficult to reduce the size of Super Junction MOSFETs while maintaining an optimal balance between high breakdown voltage and low ON resistance. In response, after reviewing the shape of the mounted chip, ROHM was able to develop 5 models in the SOT-223-3 package (6.50mm × 7.00mm × 1.66mm) - providing a smaller, lower profile form factor without compromising the performance of conventional products.  Compared to the conventional TO-252 package (6.60mm × 10.00mm × 2.30mm), ROHM’s new products reduce area and thickness by 31% and 27% - contributing to smaller, lower profile applications. At the same time, the same land pattern (footprint) as the TO-252 package can be used, enabling mounting on existing circuit boards without modification.  Offering distinctive features, three of the models optimized for compact power supplies. The R6004END4, characterized by low noise, is suitable for applications where noise is a concern, while the R6003KND4 and R6006KND4, capable of high-speed switching, are ideal for sets requiring low loss, high efficiency operation. The R6002JND4 and R6003JND4 utilize proprietary PrestoMOS technology to achieve significantly lower switching losses by speeding up reverse recovery time (trr), making them well-suited for motors-equipped devices.  Supporting materials such as application notes, technical documents, and SPICE simulation models for each product are available on ROHM’s website free of charge to enable quick market introduction.  Going forward, ROHM will continue to expand its Super Junction MOSFET lineup in different packages and even lower ON resistances that contribute to solving social issues such as environmental protection by reducing power consumption in variety devices.

ROHM’s New 5-Model Lineup of Low ON Resistance 100V Dual <span style='color:red'>MOSFET</span>s
  ROHM has developed dual MOSFETs that integrate two 100V chips in a single package - ideal for fan motor drive applied in communication base stations and industrial equipment. New five-models have been added as part of the HP8KEx/HT8KEx (Nch+Nch) and HP8MEx (Nch+Pch) series.  Recent years have seen a transition to higher voltages from conventional 12V/24V to 48V systems in communication base stations and industrial equipment, - intending to achieve higher efficiency by reducing current values. In these situations, switching MOSFETs are required a withstand voltage of 100V to account for voltage fluctuations, as 48V power supplies are also used in the fan motors for cooling these applications. However, increasing the breakdown voltage raises ON resistance (RDS(on)) (which is in a trade-off relationship), leading to decreased efficiency, making it difficult to achieve both lower RDS(on) and higher breakdown voltage. Moreover, unlike multiple individual drive MOSFETs normally applied in fan motors - dual MOSFETs that integrate two chips in one package are increasingly being adopted to save space.  In response, ROHM developed two new series - the HP8KEx/HT8KEx (Nch+Nch) and the HP8MEx (Nch+Pch) - that combine Nch and Pch MOSFET chips using the latest processes. Both series achieve the industry’s lowest RDS(on) by adopting new backside heat dissipation packages with excellent heat dissipation characteristics. As a result, RDS(on) is reduced by up to 56% compared with standard dual MOSFETs (19.6mΩ for the HSOP8 and 57.0mΩ for the HSMT8 Nch+Nch), contributing to significantly lower set power consumption. At the same time, combining two chips in a single package provides greater space savings by reducing area considerably. For example, replacing two single-chip TO-252 MOSFETs with one HSOP8 decreases footprint by 77%.  Next, ROHM will continue to expand its dual MOSFET lineup to withstand voltages ideal for industrial equipment while also developing low-noise variants. This is expected to contribute to solving social issues such as environmental protection by saving space and reducing power consumption in various applications.  Application Examples        - Fan motors for communication base stations  - Fan motors for factory automation, and other industrial equipment  - Fan motors for data center servers, etc.  Combination with a pre-driver IC to achieve the optimal motor drive solutionCombining these products with ROHM’s market-proven pre-driver ICs for single-/3-phase brushless motors make it possible to consider even smaller motors featuring lower consumption and quieter drive. By providing total support for peripheral circuit design that marries the dual-MOSFET series with pre-driver ICs, ROHM can offer the best motor drive solutions for customer needs.  Solution examples with 100V Dual MOSFETs  - HT8KE5 (Nch+Nch Dual MOSFET) + BM64070MUV (3-Phase Brushless Motor Pre-Driver IC)  - HT8KE6 (Nch+Nch Dual MOSFET) + BM64300MUV (3-Phase Brushless Motor Pre-Driver IC) and more

ROHM’s New 600V Super Junction <span style='color:red'>MOSFET</span>s Combine Class-Leading Noise Characteristics with the Industry’s Fastest* Reverse Recovery Time
  ROHM has added three new models, the R60xxRNx series, to its PrestoMOS™ lineup of 600V Super Junction MOSFETs. These devices are optimized for driving small motors in refrigerators, ventilation fans, and other applications where noise suppression is important.  Greater energy efficiency in equipment is required in recent years in response to the tightening of the global power supply, with motor drives accounting for up to 50% of the world’s total power demand. For this reason, high efficiency MOSFETs are increasingly being used in inverter circuits that convert power to drive motors. At the same time, however, countermeasures against noise generated from MOSFET operation typically involve adding components and/or changing circuit patterns, so there is a need to reduce both man-hours and costs. But reducing power loss and noise are generally in a trade-off relationship, making it difficult to achieve both.  To meet these needs, in 2012, ROHM began mass production of the PrestoMOS™ lineup of Super Junction MOSFETs featuring the industry's fastest reverse recovery time(trr) characteristics, which has received high marks for achieving lower power consumption. The lineup now includes three new models that provide best-in-class noise characteristics while maintaining the fast trr through an optimized structure.  The new R60xxRNx series maintains the high-speed trr characteristics of PrestoMOS™ while minimizing noise. An industry-best trr of 40ns is achieved by improving conventional lifetime control technology, reducing switching losses by approx. 30% over general products that translates to lower application power loss. At the same time, the newly developed Super Junction structure reduces noise characteristics (which are inversely related to faster trr) by about 15dB compared to standard products (under ROHM measurement conditions at 40MHz). Delivering industry-leading characteristics reduces the number of man-hours and parts required for noise countermeasures.  Going forward, ROHM will continue to expand its high voltage MOSFET lineup in different packages and even lower ON resistances that contribute to environmental protection by reducing power consumption in a variety of applications.

What is the difference between <span style='color:red'>MOSFET</span> and IGB
  MOS transistor is MOSFET, Chinese full name metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor, known as gold oxygen half effect transistor is a kind of field effect transistor can be widely used in analog circuits and digital circuits. Because the gate of the FET is isolated by an insulating layer, it is also called an insulating gate FET. Mosfets can be divided into N channel depletion type and enhanced type. There are four major types of P-channel depletion and enhanced. Next, Ameya360 electronic components purchase network will introduce to you!  IGBT is an insulated gate bipolar transistor. It is a compound fully controlled voltage-driven power semiconductor device composed of BJT (bipolar transistor) and MOS (insulated gate FETs). It combines the advantages of high input impedance of MOSFET and low on-voltage drop of GTR. The saturation voltage of GTR decreases, the current carrying density is high, but the driving current is high. MOSFET has low driving power and fast switching speed, but large conduction voltage drop and low current carrying density. Igbts combine the advantages of both devices, with lower driving power and reduced saturation voltage. It is very suitable for converter system with DC voltage of 600V and above, such as AC motor, frequency converter, switching power supply, lighting circuit, traction drive and other fields.  There are many types of MOSFeTs, but the most comparable to IGBTs are power MosFeTs. It is designed to handle significant power levels. They are only used in the "on" or "off" state, making them the most widely used low-voltage switch. Compared to IGBTs, power mosFeTs have faster reversing speed and higher efficiency when operating at low voltages.  What's more, it can maintain high blocking voltage and high current. This is because most power MOSFET structures are vertical (not planar). Its rated voltage is a direct function of the doping and thickness of the N-epitaxial layer, and its rated current is related to the channel width (the wider the channel, the higher the current). Because of their efficiency, power MosFeTs are used in power supplies, DC/DC converters, and low voltage motor controllers.  MOSFET and IGBT insulated gate double maximum power tubes and other devices have an insulated silicon structure between the source and gate, and DC current cannot pass through, so the low-frequency behavior drive power is close to zero. However, the grid capacitor Cgs are formed between the grid and the source, so some dynamic drive power is required when the high frequencies are alternately switched on and need to be switched off.  Due to the large gate capacitance Cgs, low power mosFETs typically have Cgs between 10-100pF for high power insulated gate power devices. Usually between 1-100nF, large dynamic drive power is required. In addition, grid drive power is generally not negligible due to the drain-to-grid Miller capacitor Cdg. Due to the current trailing effect of IGBTs, better immunity is required during downtime and negative voltage drive is required. Mosfets are fast and can be turned off without negative voltage, but when interference is severe, negative voltage off is very good for improving reliability.  MOSFET is used in switching power supply, ballast, high frequency induction heating, high frequency inverter welding machine, communication power supply and other high frequency power supply, IGBT focuses on welding, inverter, inverter, electroplating power supply, super audio induction heating and other fields.

Ameya360:Renesas Introduces New Gate Driver IC for IGBTs and SiC <span style='color:red'>MOSFET</span>s Driving EV Inverters
  TOKYO, Japan — Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE: 6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced a new gate driver IC that is designed to drive high-voltage power devices such as IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors) and SiC (Silicon Carbide) MOSFETs for electric vehicle (EV) inverters.  Gate driver ICs are essential components to EV inverters, providing an interface between the inverter control MCU and the IGBTs and SiC MOSFETs that deliver power to the inverter. They receive control signals from the MCU in the low-voltage domain and transfer these signals to rapidly turn power devices on and off in the high-voltage domain. To accommodate the higher voltages of EV batteries, the RAJ2930004AGM has a built-in 3.75kVrms (kV root mean square) isolator, which is higher than the 2.5kVrms isolator in the previous generation product, and can support power devices with a withstand voltage of up to 1200V. In addition, the new driver IC boasts superior CMTI (Common Mode Transient Immunity) performance at 150 V/ns (nanosecond) or higher, providing reliable communication and increased noise immunity while meeting the high voltages and fast switching speeds required in inverter systems. The new product offers the basic functions of a gate driver in a small SOIC16 package, making it ideal for cost-effective inverter systems.  New Gate Driver IC for 1200V Power Devices  The RAJ2930004AGM can be used together with Renesas IGBTs as well as with IGBTs and SiC MOSFETs from other manufacturers.
