Automotive qualified mosfets deliver low on state resistance

International Rectifier has launched a new series of automotive qualified mosfets for a range of applications requiring low on state resistance. According to IR, they are suitable for heavy load applications used in traditional internal combustion engine platforms, as well as micro and hybrid vehicle platforms.

The rugged planar devices are available across a range of voltages from 40 to 75V and in a variety of surface mount device and through hole packages. The AUIRL1404S is a logic level gate drive mosfet offered at 40V. The other devices included in the range are standard gate drive mosfets offered at 40, 55 and 75V. IR says the units offer good performance in linear mode operation and are well suited to applications on vehicles using a higher board net voltage such as trucks. They are qualified according to AEC-Q101 standards and feature a lead free and RoHS compliant bill of materials.
