The IXTQ40N50L2 is an N-channel enhancement mode MOSFET designed for linear operation with an extended forward bias safe operating area (FBSOA) guaranteed at 75°C. It is packaged in a TO-3P case with a drain tab, measuring 5.5 grams in weight. The device has a maximum drain-source voltage of 500 V, a continuous drain current of 40 A at 25°C, and a maximum RDS(on) of 170 mΩ at 10 V gate voltage. It features avalanche capability, with an energy rating of 2 J at 25°C and a maximum power dissipation of 540 W. Thermal resistance from junction to case is 0.25 °C/W. Molding epoxies meet UL 94 V-0 flammability standards. The device is designed for applications including solid-state circuit breakers, soft start controls, linear amplifiers, and programmable loads.
Tailored specifically for applications requiring Power MOSFETs to operate in their current saturation regions, these unique devices feature low thermal resistances, high power density, and extended Forward Bias Safe Operating Areas (FBSOA). When Power MOSFETs are utilized in linear-mode operation, as opposed to their conventional switch-mode one, they are required to endure substantially high thermal and electrical stresses due to the simultaneous occurrence of high drain voltages and currents; these extreme stresses can cause typical devices to fail. Littelfuse LinearL2™ Power MOSFETs have been designed to address these kinds of device failures – the FBSOAs are “extended” when the positive feedback of electro-thermal instability is suppressed, giving rise to larger “operating windows.” The FBSOAs are guaranteed at 75°C.
