650V superjunction MOSFETs for efficient resonant power conversion

Infineon Technologies has launched new 650V superjunction MOSFET devices called CoolMOS CFDA designed for resonant power conversion topologies such as battery charging, DC/DC converters and HID (High Intensity Discharge) Lighting, also in hybrid and electric vehicles.

Superjunction MOSFETs advantages are: a better light load efficiency, reduced gate charge, lower switching losses, easy implementation and higher reliability.

"With the revolutionary CoolMOS technology Infineon has become the market leader in energy efficiency and power density," says Jan-Willem Reynaerts, Product Segment Head of High Voltage Power Conversion at Infineon Technologies. "The 650V CoolMOS CFDA complements the CoolMOS CFD product family and sets new performance standards in the rapidly progressing electrification of cars."

Infineon says limited voltage overshoot during hard commutation of the body diode enables easier implementation of layout and design. CoolMOS CFDA provides 650V breakdown voltage, which means an increased safety margin compared to 600V.

Availability and Pricing : Samples of IPW65R150CFDA (650V, 150mOhm R dson, TO247 package) are available, EUR 1.85 per piece (10k pieces quantity).
