H-bridge mosfets reduce component count
Four H-bridge mosfets are set to simplify dc fan and cold cathode fluorescent lighting inverter circuits, says Diodes Inc, by reducing component count and pcb size in space constrained applications.
Featuring dual complementary pairs of n- and p-type mosfets in an SO8 package, the ZXMHC parts will replace either four discrete SOT23 packaged mosfets or two SO8 complementary mosfet packages. The company states that, in a range of motor or other inductive load drives, this allows pcb footprint to be reduced by at least 50%, with a significant reduction in inventory cost.
Two 30V H-Bridges, the ZXMHC3A01N8 and ZXMHC3F381N8, suit 12V dc fan and inverter applications and offer users a choice of low Rds(on) performance. Meanwhile, the 60V rated ZXMHC6A07N8 and 100V rated ZXMHC10A07N8 – described by Diodes Inc as 'industry firsts' – are targeted at 24V dc and 48V dc motor control circuits respectively.
