Microsemi extends its CoolMOS family with new superjunction MOSFETs

Microsemi has expanded its CoolMOS product line with eight new high voltage superjunction MOSFETs. It is designated as the C6 Series. These 600V CoolMOS devices feature fifth-generation high voltage superjunction technology. They are suggested for high power, high performance switch mode applications that include power factor correction, server and telecom power systems, solar inverters, arc welding, plasma cutting, battery chargers, medical, semiconductor capital equipment
and induction heating.

"With energy efficiency a primary concern for next generation system designs, our new C6 devices enable CoolMOS ease-of-use, as well as performance advantages to reduce both switching and conduction losses over our previous C3 Series technologies," said Philip Zuk, Product Marketing Manager for the discrete Power Products Group. "We see this technology as being a leader in such markets as alternative energy."

Some of the key features of the C6 series are:
1. 10% lower on-resistance (Ron).
2. 43% lower input capacitance (Ciss).
3. 45% lower switching losses (Eoff) along with lower conduction losses.
4. High body diode ruggedness.
5. Ultra Low gate charge (Qg).
6. RoHS compliant
