International Rectifier's IRFH4251D, IRFH4253D, IRFHE4250D, and IRFHE4255D comprise a family of innovative Power Block devices for DC-DC synchronous buck applications including advanced telecom and netcom equipment, servers, and graphic cards, as well as desktop, Ultrabook, and notebook computers.
The 25 V IRFH4251D, IRFH4253D, IRFHE4250D, and IRFHE4255D feature IR's latest generation silicon in a novel package that delivers benchmark power density in a 5 x 6 mm PQFN. The new Power Block devices feature an integrated monolithic FETKY®, and innovative package employing a leading-edge, flipped-die technology that enables efficient dissipation of the heat from the source of the synchronous MOSFET directly to the ground layers of the PCB. As a result of improved thermal performance and increased power density, one of the new 5 x 6 dual devices may replace two 5 x 6 standard single devices. The new package also utilizes IR's proprietary single copper clip already employed in PowIRStage® and SupIRBuck® products. It also implements an optimized layout that significantly reduces stray inductance to lower peak ringing. This allows the designer the option to use 25 V MOSFETs in place of less efficient 30 V devices.
Optimized for 5 V gate-drive applications, they work with any controller or driver to offer design flexibility while delivering higher current, efficiency, and frequency capability in a small footprint compared to alternative approaches using two discrete 30 V power MOSFETs.
