Power MOSFET block from TI handles 40A of current

Texas Instruments has introduced a synchronous MOSFET half bridge device called CSD86350Q5D combining two asymmetric NexFET power MOSFETs in a single package. TI says this device can achieve an efficiency of greater than 90 percent efficiency at 25A and in half the area of competitive power MOSFET devices. It is designed to deliver high performance in low-voltage synchronous buck half-bridge applications, including servers, desktop and notebook PCs, base stations, switches, routers and high-current point-of-load (POL) converters.

The NexFET Power Block can handle up to 40 A of current with a switching frequency of up to 1.5 MHz. TI says that the NexFET Power Block can achieve comparable performance to other semiconductor technologies, such as GaN.

Package: 5-mm x 6-mm SON

Price: Each US$1.75 in 1,000-unit quantities
