600 V CoolMOS™ S7 Family
Expanded with MOSFETs for Static
Switching Applications
Infineon Technologies is enhancing the 600 V
CoolMOS™ S7 family with two new optimized
devices for static switching applications: the in-
dustrial-grade CoolMOS S7 10 mΩ and the auto-
motive-grade CoolMOS S7A. The CoolMOS S7 10
mΩ has a unique low on-resistance (R DS(on) ) for
600 V superjunction MOSFETs, making it ideal for
applications where minimal conduction loss-
es are critical, such as off-the-shelf solid-state
relays (SSR).

Integrated 1.5A Synchronous
Regulators Simplify High-
Efficiency Power Conversion
STMicroelectronics has introduced L6981 syn-
chronous step-down regulators, extending the
family of high-efficiency converters that simplify
power-supply design by integrating power ele-
ments, feedback circuitry, and safety features
on-chip. Rated to deliver up to 1.5A, with 90%
typical efficiency at full load, the L6981 convert- loss during brief power interruptions or allowing
ers are available in two variants optimized for
light-load efficiency and noise performance.

to Gallium Nitride
A New Era for Power Electronics
As silicon reaches its theoretical performance limits for power electronics,
industry is shifting toward wide-bandgap materials like gallium nitride
(GaN), whose properties provide clear benefits in power converters for
consumer and industrial electronics. This book delves into GaN technology
and its importance for power electronics professionals engaged with its
implementation in power devices.
