N500-V Vishay Siliconix N-Channel Power MOSFET Features Low trr of 63 ns, Qrr of 114 nC, and On-Resistance of 1.0 Ω at 10 V

The SiHF8N50L-E3’s improved reverse recovery characteristics result in better EMI immunity and better efficiency, while avoiding internal body diode recovery failures that cause MOSFET burn-out.

The new MOSFET combines its 500-V rating with a low 1.0-Ω maximum on-resistance at a 10-V gate drive. This low RDS(on) translates into lower conduction losses that save energy in LLC, full-bridge, half-bridge, and double-forward topologies for LIPS inverters, HIDs, PC power supplies, and ballasts.

For reliable operation, the device is 100 % avalanche tested. Peak current handling is 22 A pulsed and 8 A continuous (limited by maximum Junction temperature). Offered in the TO-220 FULLPAK package, the SiHF8N50L-E3 is compliant to RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC.

Samples and production quantities of the new power MOSFET are available now, with lead times of 8 to 10 weeks for larger orders.
