International Rectifier, IR® (NYSE: IRF), a world leader in
power management technology, today announced the introduction of the AUIRFN8459
and AUIRFN8458
40V automotive-qualified COOLiRFET™ power
MOSFETs that offer benchmark on-state resistance (RDS(on)) for
automotive applications requiring compact size and high current
performance including pump motor control and automotive body control.
The AUIRFN8459
and AUIRFN8458
are the first in a family of automotive-qualified 5x6mm dual PQFN power
MOSFETs based on IR’s most advanced COOLiRFET™ 40V trench technology.
The AUIRFN8459 achieves ultra-low 5.9mOhm Rds(on) per channel benchmark
performance and 50A high current carrying capability.
“The AUIRFN8459
and AUIRFN8458
40V 5x6mm dual PQFN COOLiRFET™ devices offer more than a 50% size
reduction compared with conventional DPAK (TO-252) packages, ultra low
package resistance and inductance and benchmark Rds(on), making them
well suited for 12V conventional automotive applications that require
higher efficiency and power density as well as space savings such as
motor control,” said Jifeng Qin, Product Manager, Automotive MOSFETs,
IR’s Automotive Products Business Unit.
The new 5x6mm dual PQFN COOLiRFET™ devices also offer a low thermal path
to the PCB and significant thermal performance improvement compared to
an SO-8 package to deliver higher efficiency, improved power density and
overall system level cost savings.
IR’s automotive
MOSFETs are subject to dynamic and static part average testing
combined with 100 percent automated wafer level visual inspection as
part of IR’s automotive quality initiative targeting zero defects.
AEC-Q101 qualification requires that there is no more than a 20 percent
change in Rds(on) after 1,000 temperature cycles of testing.
The new device is qualified according to AEC-Q101 standards, features an
environmentally friendly, lead-free and RoHS compliant bill of materials.
