The devices are designed to meet the requirements of drives and switched-mode power supply (SMPS) applications and complement the recently launched OptiMOS 6 120 V MOSFETs. With the extended portfolio, Infineon said that is now able to offer customers a wide range of alternatives to select the best-fit MOSFETs for various applications.

Lower switching losses benefit applications like server SMPS, solar optimizers, high-power USB chargers, and telecom. Improved conduction losses are highly beneficial for motor inverters in e-forklifts and light electric vehicles (LEVs).

Compared to the previous generation (OptiMOS 5 150 V MOSFETs), the new product families offer a reduction in on-state resistance R DS(on) of up to 50 percent, while the FOM g is reduced by 20 percent. With the very low R DS(on), their improved switching performance and EMI behaviour, both new families deliver much greater efficiency, power density, and reliability.

A faster and softer body diode delivers an up to 59 percent lower Q rr, less overshoot and ringing.

The OptiMOS 6 135 V and 150 V MOSFETs are available in a variety of packages to provide customers with a range of options for best-fit products. This broad package portfolio includes TO-220, D 2PAK 3-pin, D 2PAK 7-pin, TOLL, TOLG, TOLT, SuperSO8 5x6 and PQFN 3.3x3.3.
