Vishay’s New Power Metal Strip® Resistors in 3921 and 5931 Case Sizes Feature High Power Ratings From 5 W to 10 W and Extremely Low Resistance Values Down to 0.0003Ω

MALVERN, PENNSYLVANIA— Nov. 15, 2010— Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today announced two new surface-mount Power Metal Strip® resistors in the 3921 and 5931 case sizes that combine high power ratings from 5 W to 10 W with extremely low resistance values down to 0.0003Ω.

The advanced construction of theWSLP3921andWSLP5931resistors incorporates a solid metal nickel-chrome or manganese-copper alloy resistive element with low TCR (< 20 PPM/°C) and specially selected and stabilized material. This results in a high-power resistor with an operating temperature range of− 65°C to + 170 °C, while maintaining the superior electrical characteristics of the Power Metal Strip construction.

The new devices allow for the design of high-power circuits featuring the smallest possible resistor for higher-performance end products. Furthermore, the resistors’ high-temperature capability allows the use of theWSLP3921andWSLP5931in harsh, high-temperature environments without sacrificing power rating or electrical performance.

The resistors are ideal for all types of current sensing, voltage division, and pulse applications, including switching and linear power supplies, instruments, and power amplifiers in automotive electronic controls such as engine, anti-lock brakes, and climate controls; industrial controls, including down-hole test/measurement equipment for oil/gas well drilling; and inverter controls for HVAC systems.

TheWSLP3921resistor measures 0.394 in. by 0.205 in. {10.0 mm by 5.2 mm} with a maximum height profile of 0.020 in. {0.5 mm}, while theWSLP5931measures 0.591 in. by 0.305 in. {15.0 mm by 7.75 mm} with a height profile of 0.020 in. {0.5 mm}. A proprietary processing technique produces extremely low resistance values ranging from 0.0003Ω to 0.004Ω, with tight tolerances of 1.0 % and 5.0 %.

Like all Power Metal Strip resistors, the devices released today feature an all-welded construction that contributes to their superior electrical performance. TheWSLP3921andWSLP5931provide very low inductance of 0.5ηH to 5ηH and low thermal EMF (<3µV/°C).

New WSLP Power Metal Strip Resistors: Summary Table

Part #	Power rating (W)	Tolerance (%)	Resistance values (mΩ)
WSLP3921	5	1.0, 5.0	2, 3, 4
WSLP3921	9	1.0, 5.0	0.5, 1
WSLP5931	7	1.0, 5.0	1, 2, 3
WSLP5931	10	1.0, 5.0	0.3, 0.5

Samples and production quantities of the new resistors are available now, with a lead time of six to eight weeks for larger orders.

Vishay Siliconix Releases Industry’s First Asymmetric Dual TrenchFET® Power MOSFET in PowerPAIR® 6 mm by 3.7 mm Package Featuring TrenchFET Gen III Technology

MALVERN, PENNSYLVANIA— Nov. 11, 2010— Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced the first asymmetric dual TrenchFET® power MOSFET in the PowerPAIR® 6 mm by 3.7 mm package to utilize TrenchFET Gen III technology, reducing on-resistance by 43% when compared to previous-generation devices, while offering higher maximum current and enabling increased efficiency.Offering the industry’s lowest on-resistance for this device type, theSiZ710DTcombines a low- and high-side MOSFET in one compact device, saving space over using two discrete solutions in dc-to-dc converters.

Vishay is demonstrating the superior performance and space savings of the PowerPAIR package in a synchronous buck circuit at its electronica 2010 stand A5-143.

Before the PowerPAIR package type, designers would have to use two single devices to achieve the low on-resistance and high maximum current required for system power, POL, low-current DC/DC, and synchronous buck applications in notebooks, VRMs, power modules, graphic cards, servers, and gaming consoles. TheSiZ710DT’s specifications allow designers to use one device that is one third smaller than two discrete PowerPAK 1212-8 devices, or two thirds smaller than two discrete SO-8 devices, saving solution cost and space, including the PCB clearance and labeling area in between the two discrete MOSFETs. In addition, replacing SO-8 devices in lower-current and lower-voltage applications can increase efficiency.

A single PowerPAK 1212-8 or SO-8 has on-resistance down to the 5 mΩ or 4 mΩ range, respectively. However, the low-side Channel 2 MOSFET of theSiZ710DTutilizes the optimized space from the asymmetric structure and offers a lower on-resistance of 3.3 mΩ at 10 V and 4.3 mΩ at 4.5V, and a maximum current of 30 A at + 25°C and 24 A at + 70°C. In addition, the high-side Channel 1 MOSFET features an improved on-resistance of 6.8 mΩ at 10 V and 9.0 mΩ at 4.5V.

By having the two MOSFETs already connected inside the PowerPAIR package, layouts are made easier and parasitic inductance from PCB traces are reduced, increasing efficiency. In addition, theSiZ710DT’s pinning is arranged so that the input is on one side and the output is on the other, further simplifying the layout and saving PCB space.

The device is 100% Rg and UIS tested, compliant to RoHS directive 2002/95/EC, and halogen-free according to IEC 61249-2-21.

Device Specification Table:

Channel	VDS	VGS	RDS(ON)@ 10 V	RDS(ON)@ 4.5 V	Qg(typ)	ID@ TA= 25°C	ID@ TA=70°C
1	20 V	± 20 V	6.8 mΩ	9.0 mΩ	6.9 nC	16 A	15 A
2	20 V	± 20 V	3.3 mΩ	4.3 mΩ	18.2 nC	30 A	24 A

Samples and production quantities of the newSiZ710DTTrenchFET power MOSFET are available now, with lead times of 12 to 14 weeks for larger orders.
