Alpha & Omega Semiconductor, Ltd. announced the release of AOD4C60, AOD3C60, and AOD2HC60, the newest additions to its 600V AlphaMOS portfolio, which combines features such as robustness, controlled switching and low on-resistance to produce high-performing devices. These new products are well suited for commercial and industrial CFL ballasting as well as LED lighting for residential and commercial applications. These new devices are built using proprietary AlphaMOS technology, designed for efficient switching and dependable reliability. The device structure of these solutions allows for a smooth dv/dt and di/dt transition during hard switching, thereby reducing the ringing typically experienced with other superjunction-type devices. Furthermore, these devices offer 3x the avalanche current capability versus comparable superjunction solutions and enables power circuits to outlast fault conditions such as power line surges and lighting surges. These solutions are available in 4A, 3A, and 2.5A varieties in the DPAK green package and are 100% Rg and UIS tested.

Alpha & Omega Semiconductor, Ltd. announced the release of AON6250, the device in its new 150V AlphaMOS(TM) medium voltage portfolio. The AON6250 is well suited for a wide range of applications that are pushing the limits of efficiency such as primary side and secondary side switching in telecom and industrial DC/DC converters, secondary side synchronous rectification in DC/DC and AC/DC converters, as well as solar micro-inverters, and POL modules for telecom systems. The advanced AlphaMOS silicon technology enables AON6250 to deliver an optimized combination of the on-resistance and fast switching performance. The on-resistance of this device is 57% lower than the previous generation of products and is 8% lower than the leading 150V device found in the market on April 25, 2013. Additionally, AON6250 delivers the best figure-of-merit for RDS(ON) C(OSS) in the market, thereby reducing the energy loss incurred during switching. The result is increased efficiency in both light-load and heavy-load conditions. This device is available in a compact size DFN5x6 green package and is 100% Rg and UIS tested. AON6250 is the lead product in what will be a new portfolio of 150V products. AON6250 Technical Highlights: 150V N-channel MOSFET in a DFN5x6 package, RDS(ON) < 16.5 mOhms max at VGS = 10V (lowest in the industry), COSS = 213 pF typ, Qg (10V) = 30.5 nC typ, Lowest RDS(ON) COSS figure-of-merit in the market and 100% Rg and UIS tested. Pricing and Availability: The AON6250 is immediately available in production quantities with a lead-time of 12-14 weeks. The unit price for 10,000 pieces is $1.18.
