New 40 V and 60 V Vishay Siliconix N-Channel TrenchFET® Power MOSFETs Feature Industry-Low On-Resistance and FOMs in PowerPAK SO-8 Package

MALVERN, PENNSYLVANIA— March 31, 2011— Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced new 40 V and 60 V n-channel TrenchFET® power MOSFETs with the industry’s lowest on-resistance and on-resistance times gate charge figures of merit for devices with these voltage ratings in the SO-8 or PowerPAK® SO-8 packages.

The 60 VSiR662DPoffers on-resistance of 2.7 mΩ at 10 V and 3.5 mΩ at 4.5 V, and an FOM of 172.8 mΩ-nC at 10 V and 105 mΩ-nC at 4.5 V. The device’s on-resistance values at 10 V and 4.5 V are 3.5 % lower and 27 % lower than those of the closest competing MOSFET, respectively, while its FOM is 23 % lower at 10 V and 57 % lower at 4.5 V. These low values will reduce switching losses across the whole operating range of the device.

The 40 VSiR640DPoffers on-resistance of 1.7 mΩ at 10 V and 2.2 mΩ at 4.5 V, and an FOM of 128 mΩ-nC at 10 V and 76 mΩ-nC at 4.5 V. The device’s on-resistance value at 4.5 V is 4 % lower than the next best competing MOSFET, while its FOM is 15.5 % lower at 4.5 V.

Both devices are built on a new silicon technology utilizing an optimized trench density and a unique gate structure. For designers, their lower on-resistance translates into lower conduction losses for reduced power consumption, especially at heavy loads. Their low FOMs reduce switching losses in high-frequency and switching applications, particularly at light loads and stand-by mode. The devices’ high efficiency allows designers to increase the power density of their systems and/or provide lower power loss, greener solutions.

TheSiR662DPandSiR640DPare intended for secondary side synchronous rectification in DC/DC and AC/DC converters, primary side switching in DC/DC converters, point-of-load modules, motor drives, bridge inverters, and mechanical relay replacement applications. Typical end products will include telecom power supplies, industrial automation and professional gaming systems, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and consumer applications.

The MOSFETs’ 4.5 V rating will give many designers the opportunity to use a 5 V power rail in their systems, already present for powering digital logic, without having to create and find space for a 10 V power rail. The 4.5 V rating will also significantly lower gate drive losses while allowing lower-voltage/lower-cost 5 V PWM ICs to be utilized.

Vishay Intertechnology VCNL4000 Proximity and Ambient Light Optical Sensor and SiR880DP ThunderFET® 80 V Power MOSFET Honored With EN-Genius Product of the Year Awards

MALVERN, PENNSYLVANIA— March 28, 2011— Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today announced that itsVCNL4000proximity and ambient light optical sensor andSiR880DPThunderFET® 80 V power MOSFET have won Product of the Year awards from EN-Genius Network (http://www.en-genius.net), a leading information source for electronic design engineers.

Recipients of the EN-Genius 2010 Product of the Year Awards were selected by Paul McGoldrick, EN-Genius editor in chief, and his editorial colleagues Lee Goldberg and Alex Mendelsohn, from products reviewed by the publication throughout the year.

Winner of the EN-Genius award for Best Development in Light Sensing, Vishay’sVCNL4000fully integrated proximity and ambient light optical sensor is the industry’s first to combine an IR emitter, photo-pin-diode, ambient light detector, signal processing IC, and a 16 bit ADC in one small 3.95 mm x 3.95 mm x 0.75 mm leadless (LLP), surface-mount package. The space-savingVCNL4000supports an easy-to-use I2C bus communication interface and greatly simplifies designs in a wide variety of consumer and industrial applications.

“Vishay has taken its superb experience of light detection into this part in a way that makes it ideal− from both performance and sizing− for mobile device proximity sensing and display/keyboard contrast control and dimming applications. It is extremely well priced and will do exceptionally well,” EN-Genius said.

Recognized with the EN-Genius award for Best High-Voltage Power MOSFET, Vishay’s ThunderFETSiR880DPis built on a new low-on-resistance technology optimized for higher-voltage MOSFETs. The device is the first 80 V power MOSFET with an on-resistance rating at a 4.5 V gate drive. Packaged in the thermally enhanced PowerPAK® SO-8, theSiR880DPoffers ultra-low on-resistances of 8.5 mΩ at 4.5 V, 6.7 mΩ at 7.5 V, and 5.9 mΩ at 10 V. Typical on-resistance times gate charge, a key figure of merit (FOM, expressed in nC-mΩ) for MOSFETs in dc-to-dc converter applications, is 161 at 4.5 V.

“The striking thing about the n-channelSiR880DPis the combination of its high voltage rating together with its 4.5 V gate drive rating, while offering superbly low on-resistances. The 4.5 V rating of theSiR880DPwill allow for higher frequency converter designs using 5 V PWM ICs, a departure from the 6 V presently experienced. Pricing is very attractive and will allow for early design wins in dc-to-dc converters,” said EN-Genius.

Samples and production quantities of theVCNL4000andSiR880DPare available now, with lead times of 10 and 16 weeks, respectively, for large orders.
