Schottkys in DPACK footprint offer drop-in improvements in power density, thermal performance.

September 27, 2023 By Redding Traiger Leave a Comment

Taiwan Semiconductor announces its new ThinDPAK family of ultra-fast-recovery Schottky rectifiers. ThinDPAK devices have the same footprint as standard DPAKs – but come in a thinner (1.33mm) package and offer superior power density and thermal performance. Fully AEC-Q qualified with a maximum operating temperature (Tj, max) of  175°C and typical reverse-recovery time of 25ns, ThinDPAKs assure reliability in automotive power electronics, high-frequency inverters, steering diodes in HV applications, DC/DC converters, as freewheeling diodes, reverse battery protection, lighting, and many other applications.

The planar Schottky topology of advanced ThinDPAK devices provides industry-leading rectification efficiency that dissipates less heat than alternatives. For the heat that is dissipated, the new ThinDPAK devices’ thermal resistance (Rj∅A) is 21.9% lower. Moreover, the devices save both weight and headroom compared to standard DPAKs.

The ThinDPAK series comprises a selection of 34 devices with reverse voltage (VVRRM) ratings from 45Vdc to 200Vdc with current ratings up to 150A. Devices are available in single and dual (common cathode) configurations.
