Taiwan Semiconductor Offers Four New Power MOSFETs for BLDC Motor Control
The dual N-channel devices offer DS breakdown voltages of 40 V and 60 V and current ratings of 25 A to 48 A.
Taiwan Semiconductor (TSMC) expands its portfolio of dual N-channel power MOSFETs with these new devices. They are the first in the series to be offered in a PDFN56 dual package.
The new MOSFETs all feature 40 volt or 60 volt breakdown voltages and current ratings ranging between 25 amps and 48 amps. The critical RDS(ON) specifications of the new devices range from 11 mΩ to 30mΩ. The maximum junction temperature is 150°C. The devices all feature a low gate charge, which makes fast switching frequencies possible.
