CoolMOS™ CE

CoolMOS™ CE is a product family launched by Infineon to address consumer and lighting applications. It offers benefits in efficiency and thermal behavior versus standard MOSFETs and has been optimized for ease-of-use and cost competitiveness, while at the same time delivering state-of-the-art performance and Infineon quality and supply security.

CoolMOS™ CE customer benefits

Capacity - Infineon owns the world's largest capacity for power devices with two fabs on 300 mm production, two fabs on 200 mm production and four backends.

Lead time and delivery performance - Infineon’s lead time for CoolMOS™ CE products is typically faster than 4-6 weeks. We offer highest supply security and are able to fulfill more than 96% of orders before the committed delivery date. 

Quality - our field failure rates are as low as 0.1 PPM.

CoolMOS™ CE - smartphone and tablet chargers

Chargers for smartphones and tablets as well as other mobile applications demand for a growing output power at same or smaller form factors, leading to increasing power density, and stringent requirements on thermal management, EMI emissions and overall system cost. For example, many OEMs request a device temperature less than 90°C with an open case and close case temperature less than 50°C. Infineon recommends its series of 700 V CoolMOS™ CE superjunction MOSFETs for this application, which are used by leading charger OEMs and design houses in their charger applications.

Value proposition of 700 V CoolMOS™ CE

• High efficiency, meeting application requirements
• More than enough safety margin in thermals, for 10 W-25 W chargers
• Good EMI performance – meets the EMI EN55022B standard without extra design-in effort
• Easy-to-use product due to good controllability via gate resistor
• Large breakdown voltage of nominal 700 V (and additional guard band typical) for safety on voltage spikes

Infineon recommends CoolMOS™ CE in 700 V for charger applications to secure sufficient margin for voltage spikes. CoolMOS™ CE products are also available in 650 V and 600 V for use in less sensitive designs.

CoolMOS™ CE - notebook adapters

The CoolMOS™ CE series has been widely chosen by leading OEMs in notebook adapters. With ease-of-use, cost competitiveness and short lead time as well as corresponding reference designs, customers can easily design CoolMOS™ CE products in their adapters and have a faster time-to-market.

Value proposition of 600 V and 650 V CoolMOS™ CE for adapters

• High efficiency exceeding values achieved with planar MOSFETs
• Good thermals, especially for high density, small form factor designs
• High breakdown voltage corridor – typical breakdown voltage by far exceeds specified max. value and is higher than typical MOSFETs from other vendors
• Easy-to-use product due to good controllability via gate resistor

Optimization for EMI and efficiency/thermals

EMI and efficiency/thermals need a careful trade-off in notebook adapters – better efficiency/thermals require faster switching, which leads to worse EMI, e.g., due to the oscillations triggered by a high dV/dt (di/dt). With a small adjustment this challenge can be overcome. We recommend our customers to optimize EMI when designing-in high voltage superjunction MOSFETs by:

• Adding additional drain-source capacitor C_DS, e.g., 100 pF
• Adjusting external R_G, e.g., 5 Ω–30 Ω
• Optimizing PCB layout for short path from controller to MOSFET gate and a small loop inductance
• Adjusting EMI filter (only if other measures are insufficient)

CoolMOS™ CE - TV sets

CoolMOS™ CE offers a wide range of products for the TV SMPS application and is selected by the world’s leading TV manufacturers due to high quality, reliability and ease-of-use. Together with XDP™ digital power, OptiMOS™, EiceDRIVER™ and other components from Infineon, we offer system solutions as demonstrated by a wide range of reference designs. Our dedication for TV application has been further demonstrated by developing 600 V CoolMOS™ CE in TO-220 FullPAK Wide Creepage products mainly for TV application.

Value proposition of 500 V, 600 V, 650 V and 700 V CoolMOS™ CE for TV applications

• For the AC-DC power supply in TV applications, CoolMOS™ CE devices come in different voltage classes of 500 V, 600 V, 650 V and 700 V so as to be used in both PFC and LLC stages.
• The CoolMOS™ CE devices are offered in different packages such as TO-220 FullPAK, TO-220 FullPAK Wide Creepage, DPAK and SOT-223. This variety enables customer to use these packages in different stages of the power supply to ease the PCB layout design and manufacturing. As an example, the TO-220 FullPAK can be used in the topside PFC stage and the DPAK or SOT-223 can be used in the bottom side LLC stage making the layout simpler, and efficiently meeting the thermal and EMI requirements.
• When CoolMOS™ CE devices are driven with optimal gate driving techniques, they exhibit low temperature rise and provide high efficiency performance.
