100-V MOSFET Boasts Excellent Figure Of Merit

The FDMS86101 100-V MOSFET uses the company’s advanced PowerTrench process, which minimizes on-state resistance and offers an excellent figure of merit while maintaining superior switching performance and ruggedness. The proprietary process provides the lowest R_DS(ON)—8 mO—compared to current devices with the same gate charge, according to the company. This allows the MOSFET to improve conduction losses without suffering the penalty of a higher gate charge. The FDMS86101 integrates a built-in enhanced soft-body diode that lowers switching noise and decreases the application’s susceptibility to electromagnetic interference. This feature saves board space and reduces component count because many alternative solutions need to include a snubber network to cut switching noise spikes. FDMS86101 samples are available now. The MOSFET costs $1.55 each in quantities of 1000. Delivery is in eight to 10 weeks. FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR, San Jose, CA. (408) 398-9700.
