DIOFETs raise efficiency and increase reliability of PoL converters
Diodes Incorporated has introduced the first products from its proprietary DIOFET process that monolithically integrates a power MOSFET and anti-parallel Schottky diode into a single die. Used in the low side MOSFET position of synchronous buck point-of-load (PoL) converters, the DMS3014SSS and DMS3015SSS improve the efficiency and lower the operating temperature of fast switching PoL converters in high volume computing, telecom and industrial applications.
WithIn benchmark tests, the DIOFETs operate at a temperature that is 5% lower than that of competing solutions. As every 10oC reduction in MOSFET junction temperature doubles lifetime reliability the lower operating temperature of the DIOFETs significantly increases the reliability of the PoL converter.
