20-V SOT-23F MOSFETs feature low on resistance
Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. (TAEC) has introduced four new 20V MOSFETs that feature some of the lowest on-resistance specifications in the industry. Housed in small SOT-23F packages, the SSM3K344R, SSM3K345R, SSM3J355R and SSM3J358R are suitable for lowering the power consumption in power supply controls for individual function blocks, or for power supply distribution. Applications include […]
High-side N-channel MOSFET driver handles 60-V supply
Analog Devices, Inc. announces the LTC7003, a high speed, high-side, N-channel MOSFET driver that operates up to a 60V supply voltage. Its internal charge pump fully enhances an external N-channel MOSFET switch, enabling it to remain on indefinitely. The LTC7003’s powerful 1Ω gate driver can easily drive large gate capacitance MOSFETs with very short transition […]

Gate driver and MOSFET devices reduce size and weight of motor drive applications
Texas Instruments introduced two new device families that help reduce size and weight in motor drive applications. When used together, DRV832x brushless DC (BLDC) gate drivers and CSD88584/99 NexFET™ Power Blocks require as little as 511 mm2, half the board space of competing solutions. The DRV832x BLDC gate drivers feature a smart gate-drive architecture that […]
Automotive power MOSFETs have high power density thanks to Tiny 5×6-mm dual-side cooling package
