NXP Semiconductors bipolar transistors in LFPAK56

NXP Semiconductors has released what is claimed to be the industry’s first bipolar transistors in LFPAK56 (Power SO-8). The transistors, in a low-profile LFPAK56 (SOT669) SMD power plastic package, are said to deliver thermal and electrical performance comparable to bipolar transistors in much larger power packages such as DPAK on less than half the footprint.

The AEC-Q101-qualified, bipolar transistors are suitable for applications in power management, load switch, linear mode voltage regulator, backlighting and automotive applications, as they support high-temperature operations of up to 175°C. Key features include: high power dissipation; dimensions of 5 x 6 mm with a low profile of 1 mm; mechanical ruggedness due to a solid-copper clip with no wires; high energy efficiency due to low heat generation.
