Surface-mount TOLL package SiC FET with low on-resistance and reduced mounting area

Surface-mount TOLL package SiC FET with low on-resistance and reduced mounting area

Qorvo has expanded its groundbreaking Gen 4 SiC FET portfolio. It is a surface mount type TO leadless (TOLL) package product. This product is the first in the 750V​ ​SiC FET family to be released in a TOLL package, with on-resistance ranging from 5.4 [mΩ] to 60[mΩ]. These products are ideal for use in space-constrained applications such as AC/DC power supplies from a few hundred watts to several kilowatts, and solid state relays and circuit breakers up to 100A levels.

In the 600/750V class of power FETs, Gen 4 SiC FETs demonstrate excellent performance in the on-resistance and output capacitance figures of merit (FOM). Furthermore, the TOLL package 5.4 [mΩ] product achieves 4 to 10 times lower on-resistance than other companies' Si MOSFETs, SiC MOSFETs, and GaN transistors. Also, the 750V rating of SiC FETs is 100-150V higher than alternative technologies, allowing significantly improved design margins for managing voltage transients.

The TOLL
package has a 30% smaller footprint and half the height of 2.3mm compared to the D2PAK surface mount product. The TOLL package also allows a Kelvin source connection for cleaner gate waveforms for reliable and fast switching of high currents.

This SiC FET uses Qorvo's unique cascode circuit configuration that combines SiC JFETs and Si MOSFETs to improve efficiency through wide bandgap switch technology and simplify the gate drive of silicon MOSFETs. Ultra-low on-resistance in a small TOLL footprint is achieved by Qorvo SiC FET technology's world's highest on-resistance x area (R DS(On)x A) and best-in-class figure of merit (FOM).

Despite the significant size reduction, advanced manufacturing technologies such as sintered die attach have achieved the industry's highest level of thermal resistance from the junction to the case of 0.1°C/W. The 750V/5.4[mΩ]​ ​UJ4SC075005L8S has a continuous current rating of 120A up to a case temperature of 144°C and a pulse current rating of 588A up to 0.5ms.

The low conduction losses, small size, high surge ruggedness, and excellent turn-off capability of this new ultra-low on-resistance TOLL part make it ideal for often thermally demanding protection applications in small enclosed spaces where active cooling is not available. has become a good candidate. It also reduces the need to parallel multiple FETs, minimizing heat sinking.
