To expedite the design process, MCC has partnered with Supplyframe/SamacSys to deliver free ECAD models for our advanced, fast-growing product catalog. All of our NPIs are ready to go with these files, as well as some of our most in-demand products, with new files being added constantly.
In this informative webinar led by Roberto Perez, Field Applications Engineer in Guadalajara, Mexico, you’ll discover:
A detailed comparison of various MOSFET technologies
Which voltage ranges MCC recommends for each type of MOSFET and why
Each semiconductor manufacturer has its own classifications for when to use each type of MOSFET technology. In this webinar, we’ll cover our recommendations for each MOSFET based on voltage:
- Low voltage (LV)
- Medium frequency (MV)
- High voltage (HV)
Unique advantages of SGT technology
Compared to traditional planar technology, split-gate trench MOSFETs are engineered to eliminate the need for the current to change direction. This feature results in a host of benefits, including:
- Ultra-low RDS(on)
- Improved efficiency
- Increased breakdown voltage
- Decreased capacitance
Thanks to ultra-low RDS(on), SGT MOSFETs help reduce conduction loss and improve overall efficiency. These components also include a lower gate charge (Qc), which has a small figure of merit (FOM). This metric is used to evaluate MOSFETs by accounting for their conduction and switching losses with the formula: RDS(on) x Qc. SGT technology is ideal for fast-switching applications due to a lower feedback capacitance (CRSS) and gate-drain capacitance (CGD) and increased EMI ability with higher output capacitance (Coss).
Why super junction (SJ) MOSFETs are superior in certain applications
The super junction MOSFET’s design includes a charge balancing mechanism in the drift region, allowing for even lower on-resistance, reduced capacitance, and faster switching capabilities. Together, these benefits add up to the ideal solution for high-voltage applications, such as industrial power supplies and automotive on-board chargers.
Inherent ESD protection in certain MOSFETs
Some MOSFETs are equipped with ESD protection to enhance reliability while safeguarding against electrostatic discharge during operation. We’ll cover some of these benefits in the webinar.
