The FETKYTM family of co-packaged HEXFETs and Schottky diodes offer the designer an innovative board space saving solution for switching regulator applications. Generation 5 HEXFETs utilize advanced processing techniques to achieve extremely low on-resistance per silicon area. Combining this technology with International Rectifier's low forward drop Schottky rectifiers results in an extremely efficient device suitable for use in a wide variety of portable electronics applications. The SO-8 has been modified through a customized leadframe for enhanced thermal characteristics. The SO-8 package is designed for vapor phase, infrared or wave soldering techniques.
