Increased breakthrough voltage

NEC Electronics Europe has expanded its NP series of power mosfets.

The two devices have a voltage of 100V and are designed for automotive applications. The NP28N10SDE and NP36N10SDE can switch currents up to 28 and 36A respectively. Both devices have logic level gate drive capability and are housed in the TO-252 (DPAK) SMD package. The devices are qualified to AEC-Q101, support a channel temperature up to 175°C and are fully RoHS-compliant due to tin plated leads. According to NEC, the devices address the growing automotive demand for mosfets with a high breakthrough voltage, such as DC/DC converters and injection control for gasoline and diesel injection systems or lighting applications like LED or HID lamps.
