Provides 900V for High Performance Switch Mode Applications
IRVINE, Calif., July 1, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Microsemi Corporation (Nasdaq:MSCC), a leading manufacturer of high performance integrated circuits and high reliability semiconductors, has introduced a 900V COOLMOS(tm) switching MOSFET for high power, high performance applications including power factor correction, server and telecom power systems, solar inverters, arc welding, plasma cutting, battery chargers, medical, semiconductor capital equipment and induction heating.
The new device has the highest voltage available in superjunction technology, while its on-resistance of 120mili-ohms is one-third that available with conventional 900V MOSFET devices.
Key Performance Features:
* Lowest FOM
* Extreme dv/dt rated
* Best On-Resistance in TO-247 Package
* Ultra low gate charge, Q(g)
* Avalanche energy rated
