Nexperia leads with industry’s first 80 V RETs for 48 V automotive and other higher voltage bus circuits – EEJournal

Nijmegen, January 12, 2021: 

, An essential semiconductor expert, today announced the industry’s first 80 V RET (Resistor Equipped Transistor) series. These new RET or "digital transistors" provide enough headroom to be used in 48 V automotive circuit board networks (such as mild hybrid and EV cars) and other higher voltage circuits, which are often subject to larger spikes and Pulse, the previous 50 V parts cannot handle.

RET saves space and reduces manufacturing costs by combining bias resistors and bias emitter resistors in the same SOT23 (250 mW P)

) Or SOT323 (235 mW P

) The package is a transistor. The SOT363 package also provides dual RET (two transistors and two matched bias resistors and bias emitter resistors) with a P.

 350 mW of power can achieve greater integration and savings.

The new series (NHDTx and NHUMx) includes 42 parts with PNP/NPN combination. They have the same bias resistor combination as Nexperia's 50 V devices. The device has a current capability of 100 mA and is AEC-Q101 certified.

Frank Matschullat, Nexperia Product Group Manager, said: "Design engineers engaged in new EV applications can use Nexperia's new RET to simplify system design, save PCB space, reduce pick and place time, and improve reliability, thereby confidently verifying the system in the future. In addition to 48 V automotive circuit driver applications, general-purpose switches and amplifiers and other digital systems will also benefit from these new high-voltage devices."

80 V RET in SOT23, SOT323 and SOT363 are now available. For more information, including product specifications and data sheets, please visit:
