Abstract |
A new 100-V power MOSFET of the OPTIMOS®2-family is described. The application of compensation principles leads to a device technology that combines low RON with outstanding switching properties. The technology also offers small gate charge QG and gate resistance RG. In addition, the internal body diode, if acting as free-wheeling diode, reveals a soft reverse recovery with a small reverse recovery charge QRR, resulting in relatively small voltage overshoots. Therefore, the technology is particularly suitable for a variety of applications including highly efficient DC-DC and AC-DC converters, telecommunication and server topologies, as well as motor control. |
