Custom mosfets help to simplify hot-swap design

[ad_1] Called ‘Linear FET’, Infineon’s new mosfets combine the safe-operating area (SOA) characteristics of older planar mosfets with the low on-resistance of modern trench FETs. Trench FETs tend to be designed for switching, which means they are optimised for fast operation and are low on-resistance, among other parameters. They are not optimised for the abilityRead more about Custom mosfets help to simplify hot-swap design[…]
