RETs save space and reduce manufacturing costs by combining the bias resistor and emitter bias resistor in the same SOT23 (250 mW Ptot) or SOT323 (235 mW Ptot) package as the transistor. Dual RETs (two transistors and two bias and emitter bias resistors) are also available in the SOT363 package with a Ptot of 350 mW for even greater integration and savings.
The new series (NHDTx and NHUMx) includes 42 parts with PNP/NPN combinations. These come with the same bias resistor combinations as Nexperia's 50V parts. The devices have a current capacity of 100mA and are AEC-Q101 approved.
Frank Matschullat, product group manager at Nexperia, comments: "Design engineers working on new EV applications can future-proof their systems with confidence using Nexperia's new RETs to simplify circuit design, save PCB space, reduce pick-and-place time, and increase reliability. In addition to 48V automotive circuit driver applications, general-purpose switching and amplification, as well as other digital systems, will benefit from these new high-voltage devices.".
The 80V RETs in SOT23, SOT323 and SOT363 are now available.
