EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 6, 2009--
International Rectifier, IR® (NYSE: IRF), a world leader in
power management technology, today introduced the IRF6718 DirectFET®
MOSFET. The new 25V device offers the industry’s lowest on-state
resistance (RDS(on)) and is optimized for DC switch
applications such as active ORing, hot swap, and electronic fuse
(E-fuse).
The IRF6718 features IR’s latest generation silicon technology in a new
large can DirectFET package to deliver an extremely low RDS(on)
of only 0.5mOhm (typical) at 10V Vgs in a 60 percent
smaller footprint and 85 percent lower profile than a D2PAK. The new
device significantly reduces conduction losses associated with the pass
element to dramatically improve the efficiency of the entire system.
“The IRF6718 is IR’s first device hosted in a large can DirectFET
package. Its significantly lower RDS(on) compared to
competing devices achieves superior efficiency and thermal
performance for high density DC-DC applications such as servers in a
smaller footprint than a D2PAK. Moreover, board space and overall system
cost can be reduced when compared to existing solutions as fewer parts
are required for a given power loss,” said George Schuellein, marketing
director, IR’s Multiphase Products, Enterprise Power Business Unit.
In addition, the IRF6718 provides an improved safe operating area (SOA)
capability for E-fuse and hot swap circuits. The device is offered lead
free and is RoHS compliant.
The IRF6718 is an expansion of IR’s 25V DirectFET family targeting DC
switch applications. The IRF6717 medium can and IRF6713 small can
DirectFETs also target DC switch applications and provide industry best RDS(on)
within their respective PCB footprints.
