Guaranteed repetitive avalanche performance

When using MOSFETs to power inductive loads, most circuit designs include additional components to protect the MOSFET when the load current continues to flow during switch off Usually expensive recirculation Diodes which affect efficiency . The simple alternative option of a repetitive avalanche set-up has historically only been possible using planar technology. By optimizing superjunction MOSFETs to comfortably handle repetitive avalanche currents while maintaining a junction temperature below 175 °C, Nexperia offers a truly rugged device that delivers numerous system level savings.
