The RF power product line of Microsemi has received a boost with the introduction of a new MOSFET that is suited for use in RF generators industrial, scientific and medical apps.The DRF1400 range integrates RF gate drivers, power MOSFETs and associated bypass capacitors in a single performance package.

This is a half-bridge topology and it is the first device of its type in the company’s DRF family to deliver efficiency of greater than 92 percent at 1 kilowatt (kW). In addition, the low parasitic capacitance and inductance, coupled with the Schmitt trigger input, Kelvin signal ground, anti-ring function, invert and non-invert select pin, provide improved stability and control in kW to multi-kilowatt, high frequency ISM applications. The high level of integration also allows the product to reduce bill-of-material component counts and costs.
