Automotive ASFETs for Airbag Applications

Enhanced SOA for improved linear mode performance

When choosing a MOSFET to regulate the supply voltage to the squibs in an airbag system, the choice has traditionally been limited to older generations of silicon technology, such as the legacy wire-bonded DPAK package. This is due to the safe operating area (SOA) being greater for trench technologies with wider cell pitch when operating in linear mode. The MOSFET must be able to handle a current proportional to the number of squibs in the system, whilst regulating their supply voltage for long enough to activate the airbags. Nexperia have designed a range of Application Specific MOSFETS (ASFETs) to address the specialised needs of airbag applications, focused on enhanced SOA performance for improved linear mode.

How to use parametric search?

  • You can choose the number of results per page: 10, 25, 50, 100 or all results.
  • You can use the filters in the second row to narrow down the selection. Click on one or more values in the lists you want to select. Or use the sliders by dragging the handlers or fill in the fields.
  • The common characteristics are parameters with the same value for all type numbers.
  • You can find more information about a type number by hovering over the type number and click on one of the links in the pop-up.
  • You can compare two or more type numbers by selection the checkboxes for the type numbers and click on Compare. All other rows will be hidden.
  • To hide the row with filtering options, click on the grey bar with arrows below the options.
  • To add or remove columns with parameters click on the Add/Remove parameters button on the top right. You can check the columns you want to see.
  • You can change the order of the columns by dragging and dropping the columns to the desired position.
  • You can download the results of your (filtered) selection to Excel by clicking the Download Excel button.
