Nexperia has announced the new 80V and 100V ASFETs with enhanced SOA performance, targeting hot-swap and soft-start applications in 5G telecom systems and 48V server environments and industrial equipment needing e-fuse and battery protection.

Nexperia have announced nine new power bipolar transistors, extending its portfolio of products in the thermally and electrically advantageous DPAK package to cover applications from 2A to 8A and from 45V up to 100V. The new MJD series parts are pin-to-pin compatible with other MJD devices in DPAK-package, and they also offer significant reliability benefits.

Nexperia has announced small, low profile 14,16, 20 and 24 pin packages for standard logic devices. For example, the 16 pin DHXQFN package is 45% smaller than the industry-standard DQFN16 leadless device. Not only has it reportedly got a smaller footprint compared to competitors, but the new package also offers a 25% saving in PCB area.

Nexperia has completed the transaction to acquire Newport Wafer Fab (NWF), contributing to the company’s growth ambitions and investments to boost global production capacity. With the acquisition, Nexperia obtains 100% ownership of the Welsh semiconductor production facility. Nexperia Newport will continue to have a strong position in the Welsh ecosystem and technology development and will secure the current jobs at the Newport site and oth...

ITEC, the semiconductor equipment manufacturer founded in 1991 by Philips (now Nexperia), has announced its launch as a separate independent entity. ITEC remains part of the Nexperia group. This move will allow ITEC to address the third-party market in time to serve the current semiconductor boom. It provides manufacturers worldwide access to disruptive manufacturing solutions that are built to last.

Nexperia has announced that the first products to be made in the company’s new eight-inch wafer line in Manchester, UK, will be low RDS(on), low Qrr 80V and 100V MOSFETs using its latest NextPower silicon technology.

Nexperia has announced the latest stage of its global growth strategy, confirming a $700m investment over the next 12-15 months at its European wafer fabs, assembly factories in Asia and global R&D sites to increase production capacity.

Nexperia has announced new 0.55mΩ RDS(on) 40V power MOSFETs in the high-reliability LFPAK88 package for automotive (BUK7S0R5-40H) and industrial (PSMNR55-40SSH) applications. These devices are the lowest RDS(on) 40V parts that Nexperia has ever produced and more importantly, they deliver greater power densities than traditional D2PAK devices.

Nexperia has extended its portfolio of Trench Schottky rectifiers with devices rated at up to 100V and 20A. The new parts feature excellent switching behavior and leading thermal performance. They are available in Nexperia’s Clip Bond FlatPower (CFP) packages which have a much smaller footprint than SMA/SMB/SMC components.

  At this year’s PCIM Digital Days, Nexperia highlighted its work in the automotive sector and GaN technology.

Nexperia has announced volume availability of its second-generation 650V power GaN FET device family, offering significant performance advantages over previous technologies and competitive devices.

Nexperia has announced a new range of ESD protection devices aimed specifically at protecting the ever-increasing number of high-speed interfaces found in automotive applications, especially the in-vehicle networks (IVN) associated with infotainment and vehicle communications.

Nexperia has announced a series of half-bridge (high side & low side) automotive MOSFETs constructed in the space-saving LFPAK56D package format. The half-bridge configuration of two MOSFETS is a standard building block for many automotive applications including motor drives and DC/DC converters.

Nexperia has confirmed that it will be making significant additional global investments in manufacturing capacity and research and development during 2021. The new investments are in line with a growth strategy that last year saw Wingtech Technology, Nexperia’s parent company, commit $1.85bn to building a new 300mm power semiconductor wafer fab in Lingang, Shanghai. This factory, which will go live in 2022, will have an estimated annua...

Nexperia has announced three new TrEOS protection devices that provide a compact method to suppress ESD in USB3.2, HDMI2.1 and other high-speed data lines. The new PUSB3BB2DF, PESD5V0C2BDF, PESD4V0Z2BCDF devices provide ESD protection and system robustness by combining high RF performance with very low clamping and very high surge capability.

Nexperia has announced an 80V RET (Resistor-Equipped Transistor) family. These new RETs or ‘digital transistors’ provide enough headroom for use in 48V automotive board net (e.g. mild hybrid and EV cars) and other higher voltage circuits which are often subject to large spikes and pulses that previous 50V parts cannot handle.

Nexperia has announced new leadless ESD protection devices for CAN-FD applications. Devices are available in leadless packages with side-wettable flanks that enable AOI tools to be used. Fully AEC-Q101-qualified, the PESD2CANFDx series parts also offer ESD and RF performance, and save PCB space.

Nexperia has launched a new AEC-Q101-qualified Repetitive Avalanche Application Specific FET (ASFET) portfolio focused on powertrain applications. The technology has been tested to one billion avalanche cycles and can be used to control automotive inductive loads such as solenoids and actuators. In addition to providing a faster turn-off time (up to four times), designs can be simplified through a reduced BOM count. 

Nexperia has responded to industry’s demands to maximise performance by defining a new MOSFET product group. Application Specific FETs (ASFETs) feature MOSFETs with optimised parameters for specific applications. By focusing on individual applications, significant improvements can be offered.

Nexperia has announced a new range of LED drivers in the space-saving DFN2020D-6 (SOT1118D) package. This case style features side-wettable flanks (SWF) which facilitate the use of AOI (automated optical inspection), and improve reliability. This is the first time LED drivers have been available in this beneficial package.
