E Series Power MOSFETsE Series Power MOSFETs - Vishay/Siliconix announces a series of 600 V and 650 V n-channel power MOSFETs with ultra-low maximum on-resistance and a wide range of current ratings. Based on Vishay’s next generation of Super Junction Technology, the E Series MOSFETs offer ultra-low gate charge and low gate charge times on-resistance, a key figure of merit (FOM) for MOSFETs used in power conversion applications. Featuring Super Junction Technology, Vishay’s E Series of 600 V and 650 V n-channel power MOSFETs achieve high levels of efficiency and power density, while offering lower input capacitance and increased switching speeds over a wide range of current ratings.  More...

Si7655DN, −20 V P-Channel MOSFETSi7655DN, −20 V P-Channel MOSFET - Vishay's Si7655DN, −20 V p-channel MOSFET in a 3.3 mm by 3.3 mm package offers on-resistance of just 4.8 mΩ maximum at a 4.5 V gate drive. The Si7655DN is also the first device to be released in a new version of the Vishay Siliconix PowerPAK® 1212 package, which enables lower-RDS(on) devices while providing a 28 % slimmer nominal profile of 0.75 mm and maintaining the same PCB land pattern.  More...
