NXP Releases Automotive Power MOSFETs in LFPAK56
NXP Semiconductors N.V.introduced 54 new automotive-qualified MOSFETs in an LFPAK56 package – the largest portfolio of Power-SO8 MOSFETs available on the market today. NXP’s LFPAK56 MOSFETs also save more than 55 percent of the footprint area compared to DPAK, significantly reducing overall costs. The LFPAK56 MOSFETs are suitable for a wide range of automotive applications, particularly in the areas of powertrain; body and security; and chassis and safety.

“The mechanical robustness and excellent thermal performance of LFPAK56, combined with its small footprint, make it ideal for high-reliability automotive applications. The proven quality of NXP’s integrated copper clip technology – along with the breadth of our MOSFET portfolio – have made it a popular choice for designers who want to select the power MOSFET with the right parameters for their application,” said Jamie Dyer, international product marketing manager, NXP Semiconductors.
NXP LFPAK56 power MOSFETs are available at voltage grades of 30V, 40V, 60V, 80V and 100V, with excellent RDS(on) performance and current handling across the range. Examples highlighting the range of the portfolio include the following three devices:

The BUK9Y3R0-40E with a low RDS(on) of only 3.0 mΩ at 40V, and the ability to handle currents as high as 100A. This part is expected to find use in motor drive applications such as those found in seat control, window lifters, windscreen wipers and other body control applications as well as pumps and fans.
The BUK9Y59-60E with an RDS(on) of 59 mΩ at 60V, this part is targeted for engine management systems such as gasoline direct injection and diesel direct injection, which typically require multiple parts per system, due to its small size as well as its excellent ruggedness capability.

And the BUK9Y38-100E with an RDS(on) of 38 mΩ at 100V, this part is designed for automotive LED applications, due to its ultra-low package inductance and small footprint.
Whereas QFN micro-leads are fully encapsulated, restricting movement which can cause cracks and contamination, the LFPAK gull-wing leads allow for thermal expansion and mechanical strain due to PCB bending and flexing. The integrated copper clip also provides low electrical resistance, low thermal resistance, low inductance, and high reliability. As with other NXP Trench 6 automotive MOSFETs, the new LFPAK56 MOSFETs are fully AEC-Q101 qualified, and have successfully completed extended lifetime testing at 175ºC for more than 1,600 hours – significantly exceeding Q101 requirements – and offer extremely low PPM levels.

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules
Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure
Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
