Specially designed to help maximize dc/dc power system efficiency for GHz-class processors, the IR1176 SRIC teams up with the IRF7822 HEXFET power MOSFET to enable the systems achieve efficiency levels of 85% with a 48V input. The power FET provides 1.5V isolated output converters at a full load of 40A. In addition, the company's new 30V HEXFET MOSFETs for isolated and non-isolated (buck) synchronous dc/dc converters claim to increase efficiencies by up to 3% compared to previous industry-best devices.
The new MOSFETs are manufactured using a process that is said to decouple device on-resistance and gate charge.
