1. General description
500 Amp continuous current, standard level gate drive, N-channel enhancement mode MOSFET
in LFPAK88 package. NextPowerS3 family using Nexperia’s unique “SchottkyPlus” technology
delivers high efficiency and low spiking performance usually associated with MOSFETs with
an integrated Schottky or Schottky-like diode but without problematic high leakage current.
NextPowerS3 is particularly suited to high efficiency applications at high switching frequencies, and
also safe and reliable switching at high load-current.
2. Features and benefits
• 500 Amp continuous current capability
• LFPAK88 (8 x 8 mm) LFPAK-style low-stress exposed lead-frame for ultimate reliability,
optimum soldering and easy solder-joint inspection
• Copper-clip and solder die attach for low package inductance and resistance, and high ID (max)
rating
• Ideal replacement for D2PAK and 10 x 12 mm leadless package types
• Qualified to 175 °C
• Meets UL2595 requirements for creepage and clearance
• Avalanche rated, 100 % tested
• Low QG, QGD and QOSS for high efficiency, especially at higher switching frequencies
• Superfast switching with soft body-diode recovery for low-spiking and ringing, recommended for
low EMI designs
• Unique “SchottkyPlus” technology for Schottky-like switching performance and low IDSS leakage
• Narrow VGS(th) rating for easy paralleling and improved current sharing
• Very strong linear-mode / safe operating area characteristics for safe and reliable switching at
high-current conditions
3. Applications
• Brushless DC motor control
• Synchronous rectifier in high-power AC-to-DC applications, e.g. server power supplies
• Battery protection and Battery Management Systems (BMS)
• eFuse and load switch
• Hotswap / in-rush current management
