Advanced Power Technology Announces New High Power Hermetic MOSFETs For Linear Applications.Business Editors, High-Tech Writers BEND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 28, 2001 Advanced Power Technology (Nasdaq:APTI APTI Association for Preservation Technology International APTI Air Pollution Training Institute ), has developed a new series of hermetic hermetic /her·met·ic/ (her-met´ik) impervious to air. her·met·ic or her·met·i·cal adj. Completely sealed, especially against the escape or entry of air. packaged high power MOSFETs specially designed for linear applications. Rated at 525 watts total power dissipation, 500Volt and 1000Volt, these parts are designed for extended FBSOA FBSOA Forward Biased Safe-Operating Area . The hermetic package provides protection for harsh environments and military applications and is available with and without Mil-Prf-19500 screening. High power, high voltage The term high voltage characterizes electrical circuits, in which the voltage used is the cause of particular safety concerns and insulation requirements. High voltage is used in electrical power distribution, in cathode ray tubes, to generate X-rays and particle beams, to MOSFETs are generally designed for use in switchmode applications. When used in a linear application like electronic loads, linear regulators, or Class A amplifiers, constant operation in the linear region requires high dissipation and forward biased safe operating area For power semiconductor device (such as BJT, MOSFET, thyristor or IGBT) a safe operating area (SOA) is defined as the voltage and current conditions over which the device can be expected to operate without self-damage. , FBSOA. These new parts have significantly improved performance over equivalent-rated power switchmode devices. To assist the designer, data sheets are available for downloading from our web site, www.advancedpower.com, or can be obtained from the factory. In addition, Application Note APT0002 is available which describes the device characteristics and uses in greater detail. KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS -- 320W FBSOA -- 500V and 1000V Parts -- 0.24 K/W Thermal Resistance -- Hermetic Package -- Mil-Prf-19500 Screening Available Pricing and Availability Priced at $499.00 for small volumes (100 pieces). Samples in plastic SOT-227 packages are available for the designer. ============================================================= PART NUMBER BREAKDOWN FBSOA(1) RTHJC ------------------------------------------------------------- APL501P 500V 325W 0.24 degrees C/W ------------------------------------------------------------- APL1001P 1000V 325W 0.24 degrees C/W ============================================================= (1) FBSOA @ VDS (Virtual DMA Services) A programming interface that lets bus mastering devices cooperatively manage DMA channels. =400V, IDS=0.813A, t=20sec., TC=60 degrees C With operations in Bend, Oregon and Bordeaux, France, APT is a leading supplier of high voltage, high power, high efficiency MOSFETs, IGBTs, RF MOSFETs, IGBTs, Ultra Fast Recovery and Schottky Diodes, and Application Specific Power Modules (ASPM ASPM Abnormal Spindle-Like Microcephaly Associated ASPM Asociación del Secretariado Profesional de Madrid (Spanish: Association of the Professional Secretaryship of Madrid) ASPM Armed Services Procurement Regulation Manual ) for RF, Switchmode and Linear applications. |
