Power MOSFETs from Infineon for AC/DC adapters

Infineon has launched the 650V CoolMOS C6/E6 series of high-performance power MOSFETs. Both series are based on the same technology platform. It combines the advantages of modern superjunction (SJ) devices such as low on-resistance and reduced capacitive switching losses with easy control of switching behaviour as well as high body diode ruggedness.

The key features of CoolMOS C6/E6 series are:
1. These devices offer fast but controlled switching performance and are suggested for applications where efficiency and power density are key requirements.
2. Suitable for energy efficient switching applications such as notebook adapters, solar, and other switched mode power supply (SMPS) designs where extra breakdown voltage headroom is required.
3. Infineon says that these devices offer up to 20 percent lower energy storage in the output capacitance (E oss), and additionally the improved body diode of the C6/E6 devices shows higher ruggedness against hard commutation and reduces the reverse recovery charge by 25 percent, compared to CoolMOS C3 650V family.
4. The switching behavior of the C6/E6 series is capable of avoiding excessive voltage and current slopes due to its balanced design with tuned gate resistors.

"With the new 650V C6/E6 product range Infineon complements its earlier released CoolMOS 600V C6/E6 product family, allowing us to offer the benefits of our sixth generation of CoolMOS technology in those applications where 650V blocking capability is desirable," said Jan-Willem Reynaerts, Product Line Manager HVMOS Power Discretes at Infineon Technologies. "CoolMOS C6/E6 in that sense offers our customers an excellent migration path from our very successful 650V C3 series devices."
