Package Architecture

MOSFET selection

Evaluate VDS, continuous and peak current, RDS(on), switching behaviour, package, thermal resistance and operating environment together. A lower resistance figure is not automatically the correct choice if package, thermal or switching requirements are unsuitable.

Package technology

TOLL, TOLG, TOLT, TO263-7, sTOLL and LFPAK each involve different mechanical and thermal considerations. Package selection should be made in the context of the PCB and cooling architecture.

LFPAK

The supplied LFPAK document highlights copper-clip construction, high thermal performance, small footprint and high current capability. The complete device table should remain available as technical documentation rather than being reproduced as marketing copy.

Application notes

Recommended future articles include MOSFET selection for battery-powered tools, BMS, LEV/forklift systems and telecom hot-swap architectures.
