Protected power switches improve
on-resistance
High-side intelligent power switches leverage next-generation silicon in enhanced packaging to deliver improved power density and response times.
International Rectifier has introduced a new family of fully protected, high-side intelligent power switches (IPS) that leverage next-generation silicon in enhanced packaging to deliver improved power density and response times The new IPS60xx family is designed for tough automotive applications, including transmission and gearbox, solenoid drivers; lighting control; and brushed DC motor control for seats, window lifts and wipers

MOSFETs improve 12V-input converter efficiency
Two new 20V HEXFET power MOSFET families from International Rectifier are designed to increase efficiency by up to 4% in 12V-input DC/DC convertors.
IR's new fully protected single-chip devices deliver impressive gains in on-resistance and consume much less board area for the overall solution.
For example, the full-featured IPS6011 delivers a maximum on-state resistance of 14mohm in a DPak.
The IPS60xxPBF family integrates power MOSFETs with a host of standard protection features for overcurrent, overtemperature, ESD and active clamp.
An integrated charge pump allows the device to be driven in high-side topologies without additional components.
The new IPS family also features reverse battery protection, actively turning on the output MOSFET during a reverse battery event.
This feature almost eliminates current flow through the body diode and significantly reduces power dissipation in the part during an event, improving reliability and again eliminating the need for more components.
Finally, these devices provide diagnostic feedback to the microcontroller, allowing detection of basic faults such as open load and short circuit.
All devices are RoHs compliant and Q100-qualified for automotive applications and are available in a variety of packages.
