IR’s Family of Battery Protection MOSFETs Offers Cost-Effective, Flexible Solution for Mobile Applications
November 25 2014 - 9:00AM
Business Wire
International Rectifier, IR® (NYSE: IRF), a world leader in
power management technology, today announced the introduction of an
extensive portfolio of devices featuring IR’s latest low-voltage
MOSFET silicon for lithium-ion battery protection applications
including the IRL6297SD dual N-channel DirectFET® MOSFET.
Featuring very low on-state resistance (RDS(on)) to
significantly cut conduction losses, the new power MOSFETs are
available as 20V and 30V devices in N- and P-Channel
configurations. Designed with a maximum gate drive from 12Vgs,
these devices are ideal for battery protection circuits with two
cells in series. The IRL6297SD offers two 20V N-Channel MOSFETs in
a common drain configuration packaged in a compact, thermally
efficient DirectFET® Small Can package.
“IR’s broad portfolio of MOSFETs for battery management is
available in industry standard packages as well as the dual Small
Can DirectFET® for compact designs. As a result of the low Rds(on)
of this platform, these devices can be used to replace MOSFETs in
larger packages to save both board space and reduce system cost,”
said Stéphane Ernoux, Director, IR’s Power Management Devices
Business Unit.
All of the new devices are MSL1 and RoHS compliant containing no
lead, bromide or halogen.
Datasheets and a MOSFET product selection tool are available on
the International Rectifier website at http://www.irf.com.

Availability and Pricing
Pricing for the IRL6297SD begins at US $0.45 each in 10,000 unit
quantities. Production orders are available immediately. Prices are
subject to change.
