Super Junction MOSFETs from Renesas with on resistance of 150 m-ohms @ 600 V

Renesas Electronics has made available three new super-junction metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistors for powering high-speed motor drives, DC-DC converters, and DC-AC inverters used in home appliance motor drives, such as for air conditioners, that employ high-speed motors with inverterized control.

Key features of the new Super Junction MOSFETs:
On-state resistance of 150 milli ohms (typical value) in a 600 V power semiconductor device along with a low gate charge. This enables improved power efficiency for applications such as home appliances that employ high-speed motors and inverterized control.

The new Super Junction MOSFET devices have built-in fast body diodes with specifications optimized for high-speed motor control applications. Diodes’ reverse recovery time is only 150 ns.

Improved the gate drain capacitance by optimizing the surface configuration, thereby minimizing ringing, while preserving high-speed switching performance. This improvement contributes to reduced loss and stable operation, especially in three-phase bridge circuits, which are widely used in high-speed motor and inverter control applications.


The Super Junction MOSFET devices are available in configurations equivalent to the following industry-standard packages: TO-220FP (RJL60S5DPP), TO-3P (RJL60S5DPK), and LDPAK (RJL60S5DPE).

Pricing and Availability: Samples of Renesas Electronics' new RJL60S5DPP, RJL60S5DPK, and RJL60S5DPE SJ- MOSFETs will be available in September 2012, priced at US$2.0 per unit. Mass production is scheduled to begin December 2012 and is expected to reach a combined volume of 500,000 units per month for all three products by March 2013.
