Power 40-V MOSFETs deliver low on resistance
Taiwan Semiconductor introduces the PerFET Series of single- and dual-channel 40V power MOSFETS. Built on proprietary device structures and processes that enable exceptionally low on-state resistance and switching FOM (figure-of-merit), the PerFET device’s achievement of 50% RDS(ON) and 40% FOM reduction puts this new portfolio at the industry’s leading edge of performance. The 40V N-channel […]
Tiny MOSFETS reduce RDS(on) by 74%
Nexperia announced the release of a new range of 20 V & 30 V MOSFETs in the world’s smallest DFN package, the DFN0603. Nexperia already offers ESD protection devices in this package, but has now succeeded in bringing it to their MOSFET portfolio, a feat as yet unmatched in the industry. Next-generation wearable and hearable devices […]
