Expanding the company's family of StrongIRFET devices, International Rectifier has introduced 20-30V MOSFETs for applications including high performance computing and communications. The family is headlined by the IRL6283M 20V DirectFET featuring ultra-low on-state resistance (RDS(ON)) of just 500µOhm (typical).

In order to significantly reduce conduction losses, the IRL6283M is supplied in a low profile 30mm2 DirectFET Medium Can package. This combination of small package and ultra-low RDS(ON) makes the MOSFET suited for active ORing and electronic fuse (eFuse) applications.

The device can be used from 3.3, 5 or 12V rails and offers 15% lower losses at 20A than the best alternative PQFN devices in the same 30mm2 form factor, enabling designers to reduce part count in high current applications.

As with the entire DirectFET family, the IRL6283M allows top-side cooling for enhanced electrical and thermal performance and wire bond-free construction for improved reliability. Moreover, the DirectFET package meets all RoHS requirements such as a completely lead-free bill of materials being well suited for long lifecycle designs. Alternative high performance packages feature high-lead die attach under RoHS exemption 7(a) which is due to expire in 2016. IR’s StrongIRFET family also includes PQFN devices with industry standard footprints in packages that feature an environmentally friendly, lead-free and RoHS compliant bill of materials.

“The expanded StrongIRFET family meets a market need for efficient switches for active ORing and electronic fuse (eFuse). The new IRL6283M offers industry leading RDS(ON) in a high performance package for unparalleled power density,” comments Stephane Ernoux, Director of Marketing, Power Management Devices Business Unit, International Rectifier.

Pricing for the IRL6283M DirectFET power MOSFET begins at $0.81 (USD) each in 10,000 unit quantities. Production orders are available immediately.
