In systems requiring step-down conversion from a high voltage of 24 V to 48 V bus at high power, a 60 V controller paired with discrete 80 V MOSFETs are typically used, especially when power levels exceed the 20 W range. This is mainly because even the best BCD processes cannot offer high performance MOSFETs in the 60 V to 80 V range.
Vishay’s SiC46x family of products brushes aside this limitation by integrating a controller, designed on a BCD process, with 72 V absolute maximum rated high side and low side trench MOSFETs. Trench MOSFETs with a 60 V to 80 V drain to source rating offer up to five times better figure of merit (FOM) compared BCD processes of a similar die size and voltage rating. Package design is also optimized to improve thermal performance.
