Diodes MOSFETs come in packaged discrete products
Diodes Incorporated
DFN3020 packaged discrete products
Diodes has introduced the first MOSFETs in a new range of space-saving DFN3020 packaged discrete products.
Three dual MOSFET combinations have been released, comprising 20 and 30V N-channel and 30V complementary devices.
While offering a comparable electrical performance as much larger SOT23 packaged parts, these dual DFN3020 MOSFETs will replace two separate SOT23 packaged MOSFETs, resulting in a board space saving of 70 per cent.
With a footprint of 6mm2 and an off-board height of 0.8mm, some 40 per cent less than SOT23 or TSOP-6 packaged parts, the DFN3020 MOSFET portfolio will suit load-switch or boost-conversion circuits in space-constrained low-profile portable consumer electronics, including tablets and netbooks.
The complementary DFN3020 MOSFETs will also function well as a half bridge for driving motor loads in industrial applications.
The MOSFETs' junction to ambient thermal resistance of 83C/W also means that power dissipation is high, at up to 2.4W continuous and operating temperatures are cooler than achievable with SOT23 packaged MOSFETs, leading to increased reliability.
