Dual-Power MOSFET Shrinks Mounting Area

From Renesas Technology America, the RJK0383DPA dual power MOSFET enables smaller, higher-efficiency synchronous-rectification dc-dc converters in communication devices and laptop PCs. It enables higher output current than the company's previous dual MOSFETs (see table below), combining high-side and low-side power MOSFETs and a Schottky barrier diode in a 5.3-mm x 6.2-mm x 0.8-mm max package with high thermal conductivity.

Device type: dual power MOSFET
Voltage rating (V_DSS): 30 V
On-resistance (R_DSON): 12 mΩ typ for high side and 3.7 mΩ typ for low side, both at V_GS = 4.5 V
Drain-Gate Load (Q_GD): 1.5 nC for high side and 6.5 nC for low side, both at V_DD =10 V
Current Rating (I_D max): 15 A on high side MOSFET and 45 A on low-side MOSFET with Schottky diode on chip
Features: In a synchronous-rectification circuit converting a 12-V input to a 1.1-V output at 600 kHz switching frequency, dual MOSFET achieves 91.6% efficiency.
Operating temperature range (T_J): °C to °C
Packaging: 5.3-mm ¡¿6.2-mm ¡¿0.8-mm max WPAK
RoHS compliant? yes.
Target Applications: dc-dc converters in laptop PCs, communication devices and other products
