Germany Infineon Launches Tender

Applications such as e-scooters e-forklifts and other light electric vehicles LEVs as well as power tools and battery management systems demand high current rating ruggedness and extended lifetime. Infineon Technologies AG addresses these requirements by offering more choices to power system designers to meet diverse design needs and achieve maximum performance in the smallest space. With the innovative TO-Leadless TOLL package Infineon now offers two new OptiMOS power MOSFET packages in the TOLx family TOLG TO-Leaded with Gullwing leads and TOLT TO-Leaded Top-side cooling. Together the TOLx family offers very low R DSon and a high-current rating over 300 A to increase system efficiency in high-power density designs.The TOLG package combines the best features of TOLL and D 2PAK 7-pin packages sharing the same 10 x 11 mm 2 footprint and electrical performances as TOLL with added flexibility comparable to D 2PAK 7-pin. The main advantages of TOLG are particularly apparent in designs with aluminum-insulated metal substrate Al-IMS boards. In these designs the coefficient of thermal expansion CTE which describes the tendency of a material to change its shape in response to changes in temperature is higher than copper-IMS and FR4 boards.Over time temperature cycling on board TCoB causes a crack in the solder joint between the package and the PCB. With the flexibility of the gullwing leads TOLG demonstrates excellent solder joint robustness significantly increasing product reliability in applications where repetitive temperature cycling takes place. The new package achieves two times higher TCoB performance compared to the IPC-9701 standard requirement.The TOLT package is optimized for superior thermal performance. Constructed with its lead-frame flipped to position exposed metal on the top side the package contains multiple gullwing leads on each side for high current carrying drain and source connections. With a flipped lead-frame heat passes from the exposed metal top side through the insulating material directly to the heatsink. Compared to the TOLL bottom-side cooling package the TOLT improves R thJA by 20 percent and R thJC by 50 percent. These specifications enable a lower bill of material cost particularly for the heatsink. In addition OptiMOS in TOLT reduces PCB space as components can now be mounted on the bottom of the MOSFET.
