Preface
After several years of development, Motorola introduced its first power MOSFETs in 1980. Several technologies
were evaluated and the final choice was the double diffused (DMOS) process which Motorola has acronymed
TMOS. This process is highly manufacturable and is capable of producing devices with the best characteristics
for product needed for power control. Most suppliers of power MOSFETs use the basic DMOS process.
The key to success of power MOSFETs is the control of vertical current flow, which enables suppliers to
reduce chip sizes comparable to bipolar transistors. This development opens a new dimension for designers
of power control systems.
This manual is intended to give the users of power MOSFETs the basic information on the product, application
ideas of power MOSFETs and data sheets of the broadest line of power MOSFETs with over 225 device types
in eleven package configurations currently available from Motorola. Chips for hybrid circuits are also available
on all the products included in this manual. The product offering is far from complete. New products will be
introduced ... doubling the product offering in the next year, offering designers an even better selection of
products for their designs.
Motorola has a long history of supplying high quality power transistors in large volume to the automotive,
television, industrial and computer markets. Being the leading supplier of power transistors in the world, we
know how to serve our customers' needs.

to the voltage rise time. The delay times for current and voltage will be equal and coincident. When significant amounts of inductance are present in
a circuit, these equalities and coincidences no longer exist, and use of the unmodified terms delay time, fall time, and rise time must be avoided.

• Low Cost
Motorola's TMOS power MOSFET line is the latest step
in an evolutionary progression that began with the conventional small-signal MOSFET and superseded the intermediate lateral double diffused MOSFET (LOMOSFET)
and the vertical V-groove MOSFET (VMOSFET).
The conventional small-signal lateral N~channel
MOSFET consists of a lightly doped P-type substrate into
which two highly doped N+ regions are diffused, as
shown in Figure 1-3. The N + regions act as source and
drain which are separated by a channel whose length is
determined by photolithographic constraints. This configuration resulted in long channel lengths, low current capability, low reverse blocking voltage and high rOS(on).
Two major changes in the ,small-signal MOSFET structure were responsible for the evolution of the power
MOSFET. One was the use of self aligned, double diffusion techniques to achieve very short channel lengths,
which allowed higher channel packing denSities, resulting
in higher current capability and lower roS(on). The other
was the incorporation of a lightly doped N + region between the channel and the N + drain allowing high reverse
blocking Voltages.
,
These changes resulted in the lateral double diffused
MOSFET power transistor (LOMOS) structure shown in
Figure 1-4, in which all the device terminals are still on
the top surface of the die. The major disadvantage of this
configuration is its inefficient use of silicon area due to
the area needed for the top drain contact.

FIGURE 104 - LATERAL DOUBLE DIFFUSED MOSFET STRUCTURE FEATURING SHORT CHANNEL LENGTHS AND HIGH PACKINGDENSITIES FOR LOWER ON RESISTANCE.

The next step in the evolutionary process was a vertical
structure in which the drain contact was on the back of
the die, further increasing the channel packing density.
The initial concept used a V-groove MOSFET power transistor as shown In Figure 1-5. The channels In this device
are defined by preferentially etching V-grooves through
double diffused N + and P - regions. The requirements
of adequate packing density, efficient silicon usage and
adequate reverse blocking voltage are all met by this configuration. However, due to its non-planar structure, process consistency and cleanliness requirements resulted
in higher die costs.
The cell structure chosen for Motorola's TMOS power
MOSFET's is shown in Figure 1-6. This structure is similar
, to that of Figure 1-4 except that the drain contact is
dropped through the N - substrate to the back of the die.
The gate structure is now made with polysilicon sandwiched between two oxide layers and the source metal

applied continuously over the entire active area. This two
layer electrical contact gives the optimum in packing density and maintains the processing advantages of planar
LOMOS. This results in a highly manufacturable process
which yields low rOS(on) and high voltage product.

As the drain voltage is increased, the drain current saturates and becomes proportional to the square of the
applied gate-to-source voltage, VGS, as indicated in
Equation (2).

The parameters are the same as above and demonstrate that drain current and transconductance are directly
related and are a function of the die design. Note that

an important feature in amplifier design.

Threshold Voltage, VGS(th)

FIGURE 1-6 - TMOS POWER MOSFET STRUCTURE OFFERS VERTICAL CURRENT FLOW, LOW RESISTANCE PATHS AND PERMITS
COMPACT METALIZATION ON TOP AND BOTTOM SURFACES TO
REDUCE CHIP SIZE.

Operation:
Transistor action and the primary electrical parameters
of Motorola's TMOS power MOSFET can be defined as
follows:

Threshold voltage is the gate-to-source voltage required to achieve surface inversion of the diffused channel
region, (rCH in Figure 1-7 page A-8) and as a result,
conduction in the channel.
As the gate voltage increases the more the channel is
"enhanced," or the lower its resistance (rCH) is made,
the more current will flow. Threshold voltage is measured
at a specified value of current to maintain measurement
correlations. A value of 1.0 mA is common throughout the
industry. This value is primarily a function of the gate oxide
thickness and channel doping level which are chosen during the die design to give a high enough value to keep
the device off with no bias on the gate at high temperatures. A minimum value of 1.5 volts at room temperature
will guarantee the transistor remains an enhancement
mode device at junction temperatures up to 150°C.

Drain Current, 10:
When a gate voltage of appropriate polarity and magnitude is applied to the gate terminal, the polysilicon gate
induces an inversion layer at the surface of the diffused
channel region represented by rCH in Figure 1-7 (page
A-8). This inversion layer or channel connects the source
to the lightly doped region of the drain and current begins
to flow. For small values of applied drain-to-source voltage, VOS, drain current increases linearly and can be
represented by Equation (1).
(1)

10 =

Z

On-ReSistance, rOS(on)=
On-resistance is defined as the total resistance encountered by the drain current as it flows from the drain
terminal to the source terminal. Referring to Figure 1-7,
rOS(on) is composed primarily of four resistive components associated with:
The Inversion channel, rCH; the Gate-Drain Accumulation Region, rACC; the junction FET Pinch region,
rJFET; and the lightly doped Drain Region, rO, as indicated in Equation (4).

the on-resistance continues to decrease as VGS is increased toward the maximum rating of the device.
Note: ros(on) is inversely proportional 10 thE! carrier mobility. This
means that the rOS(on) of the P-Channel MOSFET is approximately 2.5
to 3.0 times that of a similar N-Channel MOSFET. Therefore, in order
to have matched complementary on characteristics, the ZlL ratio of the
P-Channel device must be 2.5-{3.0 Umes that of the N-Channel device.
This means larger die are required for P-Channel MOSFET's with the
same roS(on) and same breakdown voltage as an N-Channel device
and thu~ device capacitances and costs will be correspondingly higher.

Breakdown Voltage, V{BR)DSS:

FIGURE 1-7 - TMOS DEVICE ON-RESISTANCE

.

Breakdown voltage or reverse blocking voltage of the
TMOS power MOSFET is defined in the same manner as
V(BRlCES in the bipolar transistor and occurs as an avalanche breakdown. This voltage limit is reached when
the carriers within the depletion region of the reverse
biased P-N junction acquire suffficient kinetic energy to
cause ionization or when the critical electric field is
reached. The magnitude of this voltage is determined
mainly by the characteristics of the lightly doped drain
region and the type of termination of the die's surface
electric field.
Figure 1-9 shows a schematic' representation of· the
cross-section in Figure 1-8 and depicts the bipolar transistor built in the epi layer. Point A shows where the emitter
and base of the bipolar is shorted together. This is why
V(BR)DSS of the power FET is equal to V(BR)CES of the
bipolar. Also note the short brings the base in contact with
the source metal allowing the use of the base-collector
junction. This is. the diode across the TMOS power
MOSFET.

o
FIGURE 1-8 - TMOS DEVICE PARASITIC CAPACITANCES

Whereas the channel resistance increases with channel
length, the accumulation resistance increases with poly
width and the JFET pinch resistance increases with epi
resistivity and all three are inversely proportional to the
channel width and gate-to-sourcevoltage. The drain resistance is proportional to the epi reSistivity, poly width
and Inversefy proportional to channel width. This says that
the on-resistance of TMOS powerFETs with the thick and
high resistivity epi required for high voltage parts will be
dominated by rD.
Low voltage devices have thin, low resistivity epi and
rCH will be a large portion of the total on-resistance. This
is why high voltage devices are "full on" with moderate
voltages on the gate, whereas with low voltage devices

TMOS Power MOSFET Capacitances:
Two types of intrinsic capacitances occur in the TMOS
power MOSFET - those associated with the MOS structure and those associated with the P-N junction.
The two MOS capacitances associated with the MOSFET cell are:
Gate-Source Capacitance, Cgs
Gate-Drain Capacitance, Cgd
The magnitude of each is determined by !he die geometry
and the oxides associated with the silicon gate.
The P-N junction formed during fabrication of the power
MOSFET results in the drain-to-source capacitance, Cds.
This capacitance is defined the same as any other planar
junction capacitance and is a direct function of the channel
drain area and the width of the reverse biased junction
depletion region.
The dielectric insulator of CgS and Cgd is basically a
glass. Thus these are very stafile capacitors and will not
vary with voltage or temperature. If excessive voltage is
placed on the gate, breakdown will occur through the

glass, creating a resistive path and destroying MOSFET
operation.
Optimizing TMOS Geometry:
The geometry and packing density of Motorola's
MOSFETs vary according to the magnitude of the reverse
blocking Voltage.
The geometry of the source site, as well as the spacing
between source sites, represents important factors in efficient power MOSFET design. Both parameters determine the channel packing density, i.e.: ratio of channel
width per cell to cell area.
For low voltage devices, channel width is crucial for
minimizing rOS(on), since the major contributing component of rOS(on) IS rCH. However, at high voltages, the
major contributing component of resistance is rO and thus
minimizing rOS(on) is dependent on maximizing the ratio
of active drain area per cell to cell area. These two conditions for minimizing rOS(on) cannot be met by a single
geometry pattern for both low and high voltage devices.

Distinct Advantages of Power MOSFETs
rating of power handling capability as a function of applied
voltage. The phenomena of second breakdown does not
occur within the ratings of the device. Depending on the
application, snubber circuits may be eliminated or a
smaller capacitance value may be used in the snubber
circuit. The safe operating boundaries are limited by the
peak current ratings, breakdown voltages and the power
capabilities of the devices.

Power MOSFETs offer unique characteristics and capabilities that are not available with bipolar power transistors. By taking advantage of these differences, overall
systems cost savings can result without sacrificing reliability.

Power MOSFETs are majority carrier devices, therefore
their switching speeds are inherently faster. Without the
minority carrier stored base charge common in bipolar
transistors, storage time is eliminated. The high switching
speeds allow efficient switching at higher frequencies
which reduces the cost, size and weight of reactive components.
MOSFET switching speeds are primarily dependent on
charging and discharging the device capacitances and are
essentially independent of operating temperature.

On-Voltage
The minimum on-voltage of a power MOSFET is determined by the device on-resistance rOS(on). For low
voltage devices the value of rOS(on) is extremely low, but
with high voltage devices the value increases. rOS(on)
has a positive temperature coefficient which aids in paralleling devices. Because of the positive temperature coefficient of rOS(on) and the negative temperature coefficient
of transconductance, power MOSFET circuits are inherently less susceptible to thermal runaway.

Input Characteristics

Examples of Advantages Offered by
MOSFETs

The gate of a power MOSFET is electrically isolated
from the source by an oxide layer that represents a dc
resistance greater than 40 megohms. The devices are
fully biased-on with a gate voltage of 10 volts. This significantly simplifies the drive circuits and in many instances the gate may be driven directly from logic inte. grated circuits such as CMOS and TTL to control high
power circuits directly.
Since the gate is isolated from the source, the drive
requirements are nearly independent of the load current.
This reduces the complexity of the drive circuit and results
in overall system cost reduction.

High Voltage Flyback Converter
An obvious way of showing the advantages of power
MOSFETs over bipolars is to compare the two devices in
the same system. Since the drive requirements are not
the same, it is not a question of simply replacing the bipolar with the FET, but one of designing the respective
drive circuits to produce an equivalent output, as described in Figures 1-1 0 and 1-11.
For this application, a peak output voltage of about 700
V driving a 30 kO load (PO(pk) '" 16 W) was required.
With the component values and timing shown, the inductor/device current required to generate this flyback voltage
would have to ramp up to about 3.0 A.

Compare this circuit with the bipolar version of Figure
I-II.
To achieve the output voltage, using a high voltage
Switch mode MJ8505 power transistor, requires a rather
cqmplex drive circuit for generating the proper IBI and
IB2. This circuit uses three additional transistors (two of
which are power transistors), three Baker clamp diodes,
eleven passive components and a negative power supply
for generating an off-bias Voltage. Also, the RBSOA
capability of this device is only 3.0 A at 900 V and 4.7 A
at 800 V, values below the 7.0 A, 900 V rating of the
MOSFET. A detailed description of these circuits is shown
in Chapter 7, TMOS applications.

• Fast Switching

20 kHz Switcher

Figure 1-10 shows the TMOS version. Because of its
high input impedance, the FET, an MTM2N90, can be
directly driven from the pulse width modulator. However,
the PWM output should be about 15 volts in amplitude
and for relatively fast FET switching be capable of sourcing and sinking 100 mA. Thus, all that is required to drive
the FET is a resistor or two. The peak drain current of 3.2
A is within the MTM2N90 pulsed current rating of 7.0 A
(2.0 A continuous), and the turn-off load line of 3.2 A, 700
V is well within the Switching SOA (7.0 A, 900 V) of the
device. Thus, the circuit demonstrates the advantages of
TMOS:

Chapter 2: Basic Characteristics of Power MOSFETs
Output Characteristics

One of the three obvious.t!ifferences between Figures

2-1 and 2-2 is the family of curves for the power MOSFET

Perhaps the most direct way to become familiarwitli
the basic operatioh of a device i$to study its outpulcharacterlstics. In this case, a comparison of the MOSFET
characteristics with those of a bipolar transistor with similar ratings is in order, since the curves of a bipolar device
are almost universally familiar to power circuit design engineers.
As indicatet! in Figures 2-1 and 2-2, the output characteristics of the power MOSFET and the bipolar transistor can be divided similarly into two basic regions. The
figures also show the numerous and often confusing terms
assigned to those regions. To ayoidpossible confusion,
this section will refer to the MOSFET regions as the "on"
(or "ohmic") and "active" regions and bipolar regions as
the "saturation" and "active" regions.

is generated'by changes in gate voltage and not by base
current variations. A second difference is the slope of the
curve in the bipolar saturation region is steeper than the;
slope in the ohmic region of the power MOSFET indicating
that the on-resistance of the MOSFET is higher than the
effective on-resistance of the bipolar.
The third major difference between the output charac-..
teristics is that in the active regions the slope of the bipolar
curve is steeper than the slope of the TMOS curve, .making the MOSFET a better constant current source. The
limiting of 10 is due to pinch~.off occurring in the MOSFET
channel.
.

Basic MOSFET Parameters
On-Resistance

POWER MOSFET

The on-resistance, or rOS(on), of a power MOSFET is
an important figure of merit .because' it. de.termines the
amount of current the device can handle without excessive power dissipation. When switching the MOSFET from
off to on, the drain-source resistance falls from.a very high
value to rOS(on), which is a relatively low value. To.minimize rOS(on) the gate voltage should be large enough
for a given drain current to maintain operation.in the· ohmic
region. Data sheets usually include a graph, such as'Figure 2-3, which relates this information. As Figure 2-4 indicates, increasing the gate voltage above 12 volts has a
diminishing effect on lowering on-resistance (especially in
high voltage devices) and increases the possibility of spuri.ous gate-source voltage spikes exceeding the maximum
gate voltage rating of 20 volts. Somewhat like driving a
bipolar transistor deep into saturation, unnecessarily high
gate voltages will increase tum-off time because of the
excess charge stored in the input capacitance. All
Motorola TMOS FETs will conduct the rated continuous
drain current with a gate voltage of 10 volts.
As the drain current rises, especially above the continuous rating, the on-resistance also increases. Another
important relationship, which is addressed later with the
other temperature dependent parameters, is the effect
that temperature has on the on-resistance. Increasing TJ
and 10 both effect an increase in rOS(on) as shown in
Figure 2-5.

Since the transconductance, or 9fs, denotes the gain

the bipolar transistor, it is an important parameter when
the device is operated in the active, or constant current,
region. Defined as the ratio of the change in drain
current corresponding to a change .in gate voltage
(9fs = dIO/dVGS), the transconductance varies with operating conditions as seen in Figure 2-6. The value of 9fs
is determined from the active portion of the VOS-IO transfer characteristics where a change in VOS no longer significantly influences 9fs. Typically the transconductance
rating is specified at half the rated continuous drain current
and at a VOS of 15 V.

For designers interested only in switching the power
MOSFET between the on and off states, the transconductance is often an unused parameter. Obviously when
the device is switched fully on, the transistor will be operating in its ohmic region where the gate voltage will be
high. In that region, a change in an already high gate
voltage will do little to increase the drain current; therefore,
9fs is almost zero.

one milliampere. Device designers can control the value
of the threshold voltage and target VGS(th) to optimize
device performance and practicality. A low threshold voltage is desired so the TMOS FET can be controlled by
low voltage chips such as CMOS and TTL. A low value
also speeds switching because less current needs to be
transferred to charge the parasitic input capacitances. But
the threshold voltage can be too low if noise can trigger
the device or designers have difficulty dealing with currents from previous stages. Also, a positive-going voltage
transient on the drain can be coupled to the gate by the
gate-to-drain parasitiC capacitance and can cause spurious turn-on of a device with a low VGS(th).

Threshold Voltage
Threshold Voltage, VGS(th), is the lowest gate voltage
at which a specified small amount of drain current begins
to flow. Motorola normally specifies VGS(th) at an 10 of

MOSFET switching speeds are very fast, relative to comparably sized bipolar transistors. Since they are majority
carrier devices, there is no storage time associated with the turn-off time; consequently, the switching waveform
components are associated with the charging and discharging of the interelectrode capacitances. Driving a MOSFET through a switching cycle involves driving these non-linear capacitances. Switching times, therefore. will
strongly depend on the impedances of the driving source and drain load. Maximum limits at elevated temperature
are specified.
• During td(on) - The drive circu.it charges Ciss to VGS(th)' No drain current flows; VDS remains essentially

- Ciss is charged by the drive circuit to VGS(on)' Cos s discharges from VDD to approach
• During tr
VDS(on) and ID increases from zero, approaching its maximum. As VD'S approaches VDS(on),
the rapid rise of Cos s at low drain voltages delays the rise of ID' likewise the increase of Ciss
inhibits the rise of VGS through the drive impedance.
• During td(off) - Ciss begins to discharge through the gate circuit impedance. The transistor turns off and the
drain supply charges Cos s through the load. The initial rise of VDS is slowed by the high
value of Cos s at low drain voltages.
- Coss diminishes rapidly as the drain voltage rises. Virtually no additional charge is required

FIGURE 2-18 - COMPLETE N-CHANNEL POWER MOSFET SYMBOL
INCLUDING DRAIN-SOURCE DIODE

Most rectifiers, a notable exception being the Schottky
diode, exhibit a "reverse recovery" characteristic as depicted in Figure 2-20. When forward current flows in a
standard diode, a carrier gradient is formed in the high
resistivity ,side of the junction resulting in an apparent
storage of charge. Upon sudden application of a reverse
bias, the stored charge temporarily produces a negative
current flow during the reverse recovery time, or t rr , until
the charge is depleted. The circuit conditions that influence trr and the stored charge are the forward current

In many applications, the drain-source diode is never
forward biased and does not influence circuit operation.
However, in multi-transistor configurations, such as the
totem pole network of Figure 2-21, the parasitic diodes
play an important and useful role. Each transistor is protected from excessive flyback voltages, not by Its own
drain-source diode, but by the diode of the opposite transistor. As an illustration, assume that 02 of Figure 2-21
is turned on, 01 is off and current is flowing up from
ground, through the load and into 02. When 02 turns off,
current is diverted into the drain-source diode of 01 which
clamps the load's inductive kick to V +. By similar reasoning, one can see that DZ protects 01 during its turnoff.
As a note of caution, it should be realized that the drainsource diode of a power MOSFET, like all diodes except'
the Schottky, have forward recovery times, meaning they
do not instantaneously conduct when forward biased.
Therefore, in a totem pole configuration, the TMOS drainsource diode may be too slow to protect the complementary transistor from excessive flyback voltage. Because
of this possibility, rapid switching of such configurations
may require other clamping schemes.

ESD and .Power MOSFETs
Being MOS devices, TMOS transistors can be damaged
by ESO due to improper handling or installation. However,
TMOS devices are not as susceptible as CMOS. Due to
their large input capacitances, they are able to absorb
more energy before being charged to the gate-breakdown
voltage. Nevertheless, once breakdown begins, there is
enough energy stored in the gate-source capacitance to
cause complete perforation of the gate oxide. With a gateto-source rating of VGS .= ± 20 V maximum and electrostatic voltages typically being 100-25,000 volts, it becomes very clear that these devices require special handling procedures. Figure 3-1 shows curve tracer photos
of a goOd device, and the same device degraded by ESO.

Static Protection
Increasingly
Positive

The basic method for protecting electronic components
combines the prevention of static build up with the removal
of existing charges. The mechanism of charge removal
from charged objects differs between insulators and conductors. Since charge cannot flow through an insulator, it
cannot be removed by contact with a .conductor. If the
item to be discharged is an insulator (plastic box, person's
clothing, etc.), ionized air is required. If the object to be
discharged is a conductor (metal tray, conductive bag,
person's body, etc.), complete discharge can be accomplished by grounding it.
A complete static-safe work station should include a
grounded conductive table top, floor mats, grounded operators (wrist straps), conductive containers, and an ionized air blower to remove static ·from non-conductors. All
soldering irons should be grounded. All non"conductive
items such as styrofoam coffee cups, cellophane wrappers, paper, plastic handbags, etc. should be removed
from the work area. A periodic survey of the work area

From Table 2, it can be seen that cotton is relatively

with a static meter is good practice and any problems
detected should be corrected immediately. Above all, education of all personnel in the proper handling of staticsensitive devices is key to preventing ESD failures. Figure
3-2 shows a typical manufacturing work station.

Test Method:
Military specifications MIL-STD-883B Method 3015.1,
DOD-HDBK263, and DOD-STD-1686 classify the sensitivity of semiconductor devices to electrostatic discharge
as a function of exposure to the output of a charged network (Table 4). Through measurements and general
agreement, the "human-body model" was specified as a
network that closely approximated the charge storage capability (100 pF) and the series resistance (1.5 k) of a
typical individual (Figure 3-3). Discharge of this network
directly into a device indicates that the model assumes a
"hard" ground is in contact with the part. Although all pin
combinations should be evaluated in both polarities (a
total of six combinations for a TMOS Power MOSFET),
preliminary tests usually show that gate-oxide breakdown
is most likely, and that reverse-biased junctions are about
an order of magnitude more sensitive than forward-biased
ones. The amount of testing, and components required,
can therefore be reduced to sensible levels, yet still yield
statistically sound data. The damage mechanism, which
can be identified through failure analysis of shorted or
degraded samples, is usually oxide puncture or junction
meltthrough.

By following the above procedures, and using the

without being damaged. The key items to remember are:

Handle all static sensitive components at a static

2 -

Transport all static sensitive components in static

2. These examples are intended only as very general guidelines. The actual accuracy of a given method is highly variable, as a large number
of interdependent factors influence electrostatic field generation. Operator awareness, complemented with a high quality hand-held electrostatic field-strength meter referenced to ground, can be very effective in controlling profit losses due to ESO.

A simple electrostatic discharge circuit, which simulates
the human body model, is shown in Figure 3-4.
The high voltage supply consists of a 20mAconstant,

through load or stray inductances can force VOS to exceed V(BR)OSS may contain enough energy to destroy
the deVice if It begins to avalanche. Transients on the
drain supply voltage can also destroy the power MOSFET.
Fortunately, if there is any danger of these destructive
transients, the solutions to the problems are fairly simple.
Figure 4-6 illustrates a FET switching an inductive load
in a circuit which provides no protection from excessive
flyback Voltages. The accompanying waveform depicts
the turn-off voltage transient due to the load and the parasitic lead and wiring inductance. The MTM20N10 experiences the unrecommended avalance condition for
about 300 ns at its breakdown voltage of 122 volts. One
of the simplest methods of protecting devices from flyback
voltages is to place a clamping diode across the inductive
load. Using this method, the diode will clamp most, but
not all, of the voltage transient. VOS will still overshoot
VOO by the sum of the effects of the forward recovery
characteristic of the diode; the diode lead inductance and
the paraSitic series inductances as shown in Figure 4-7.

If switching losses are significant, they should be
included at this step. Proceeding with the computation

then the calculated TJ of 106°C replaces the original
110°C estimate and rOS(on), Po and TJ are recomputed.
Since the initial guess was close, 106°C is the final solution
and the transistor is operating within its thermal limitations
and, therefore, its current handling capabilities.

SSOA:
Switching Safe Operating Area defines the MOSFETs
voltage and current limitations durinjg switching transitions. Although an SSOA curve also outlines turn-on
boundaries; it is normally used asa turn-off SOA. As such,
it is the MOSFET equivalent of the Reverse Biased SOA
(RBSOA) of bipolars.
Like RBSOA ratings, tum-off SOA curves are generated
by observing device performance as it switches a clamped
inductive load. An inductive load is used because it causes
the greatest turn-off stress, but it must be clamped so as
not to avalanche the transistor with an uncontrolled drainsource "flyback voltage." Switching speeds, which directly
determine crossover times and switching losses, also influence the turn-off SOA.
As shown in Figure 4-5, the SSOA curve of the
MOSFET is bounded by its maximum pulsed drain current, 10M, and the maximum drain-source voltage, VOSS,
as long as switching times are less than 1.0 JLS. If
MOSFETs are operated within their 10M, VOSS and
TJ(maxl ratings, their SSOA curves guarantee that a secondary breakdown derating is unnecessary.

FIGURE 4-6 - vDS TRANSIENT DUE TO UNCLAMPED
INDUCTIVE LOAD

If the series resistance of the load is small compared
to its inductance, a simple diode clamp may allow current
to circulate through the load-diode loop for a significant
amount of time after the MOSFET is turned off. When this
lingering current is unacceptable, a resistor can be inserted in series with the diode at the expense of increasing
the peak flyback voltage seen at the drain.

Drain-Source Overvoltage Protection
The most common cause of failure in a power MOSFET
is due to an excursion across an SOA boundary. A good
portion of these failures are a result of exceeding the

and the desired clamp voltage, the resistance can be
sized. Finally, the magnitude of the capacitance may be
determined by relating the RC time constant to the period

Let T = RC = 5.0 + f = 200 /oLs

While this is a common and efficient cricuit, the switching speeds of MOSFETs may produce transients that are
too rapid to be attentuated by this method. If the flyback
voltage reaches its peak during the first 50 ns, the effectiveness of the circuit will be undermined due to the forward recovery characteristic of the clamp diode and any
stray circuit inductance. It may be prudent in these cases
to include a zener with a breakdown voltage slightly higher
than the clamp voltage. When placed directly across the
drain and source terminals, the lead lengths are short
enough and the zener is fast enough to catch most transients. Since the zener's only purpose is to clip the initial
flyback peak and not to absorb the entire energy stored
in the inductor, the zener power rating can be smaller than
that needed when one is used as the sole clamping element.
A fourth way to protect power MOSFETs from large
drain-source voltage transients is to use an RC snubber
network like that of Figure 4-10. Although it effectively
reduces the peak drain voltage, the snubber network is
not as efficient as a true clamping scheme. Whereas a
clamping network only dissipates energy during the transient, the RC snubber also absorbs energy during portions
of the switching cycle that are not overstressing the transistor. This configuration also slows turn-on due to the
additional drain-source capacitance that must be discharged.

VDS TRANSIENT WITH ZENER CLAMP

Figure 4-9 shows an RC clamp network that suppresses
flyback voltages greater than the potential across the capacitor. Sized to sustain a nearly constant voltage during
the entire switch cycle, the capacitor absorbs energy only
during transients and dumps that energy into the resistance during the remaining portion of the cycle. Component values may be computed by considering the power
_

V (desired clamp voltage)

The power to be absorbed by the clamp network is:

Protecting the drain-source from voltage transients with
a zener diode, which is a wide band device, is another
simple and effective solution. Except for the effects of the
lead and wiring inductances and the very short forward
recovery time, the zener will clip the voltage transient at
its breakdown voltage. A transient with a slow dVDS/dt
will be clipped completely while a transient with a rapid
dv/dt might momentarily exceed the zener breakdown
voltage. These effects are shown in Figure 4-8. Even
though it is a very simple remedy, the zener diode is one
of the most effective means of transient suppression. Obviously, the power rating of the zener should be scaled
so that the clipped energy is safely dissipated.

No matter which scheme is used, very rapid inductive
turn-off can cause transients during the first tens of nanoseconds that. may be overlooked unless a wideband
oscilloscope (B,W. ;;;. 200 MHz) is used to observe the
VOS waveform.

consequently, their maximum di/dt capabilities have also
risen. Single die devices are now available with pulsed
current ratings greater tlian 100 A, and the multiple die
MTE100N06 has an 10M of 500 A.:ThevelYlarge di/dt
capabilities that accompany these current ratings can produ.ce significant VOS stress in addition to that observed
at the drain-source terminals.
To assure that the peak VOS at the chip does not exceed the maximum VOSS rating of the device, the following equation can be used:

+V

VOS(max) = V(BR)OSS - L(di/dt)
where VOS(max) is the maximum allowable voltage appearing across the drain-source terminals, V(BR)OSS is
the maximum device rating, L is the parasitic source inductance and di/dt is the rate of change in 10 coincident
with VOS(max)'
Voltages appearing across the package source inductance also affect the magnitude of the gate-source voltage
at the chip and are of such polarity that they slow both
the turn-on and turn-off transitions. If large currents are
being switched, the parasitic package inductance is large
enough to be the factor that limits the MOSFET's switching
speeds.
Except for circuits that produce very large di/dt's, the
proceeding discussion of package inductance is of academic interest only. However, wiring inductance is often
much larger than the package inductance and its effects
are proportionately greater. Therefore, the above considerations may become very practical problems in applications in which the di/dt's are not extreme. The quality
of the circuit layout dictates the degree of concem;

FIGURE 4-10 - VDS TRANSIENT WITH RC SNUBBER

Package and Lead Inductance Considerations
The drain and source parasitic package inductance can
influence the magnitude of VOS during rapid switching of
very large currents. In Figure 4-11, the drain and source
package inductance has been combined and placed in
the source because that wirebond and lead length accounts for tlie bulk of the inductance. The magnitude of
LS in the TO-204, (TO-3) and the TO-220 packages is
around' 7.0 or 8.0 nH and is large enough to produce
appreciable'voltage during a very rapid rate of change in
drain current. The polarity of the induced voltage is such
that the drain-source voltage appearing at the chip is
greater than that ,appearing at the device terminals.
As an example, assume that an MTM35N06 is turned
off in 50 ns after conducting 50 A. A di/dt of this magnitude
will produce about 8.0 volts across the parasitic package
inductance (v '= L di/dt = 8:0 nH 50 Al50 ns). If the drainsource voltage at the terminals is 50 V, then VOS at the
die is 58 volts.

dv/dtLlmitatlons in Power MOSFETs
Power MOSFET performance is eventually limited by
extremely rapid rates of change in drain-source voltage.
These very high dv/dt's can disturb proper circuit performance and even cause device failure in certain situations.
High dv/dt's occur during three conditions, each having
its own dv/dt threshold before problems arise. The first is
what is termed "static dv/dt" and occurs when the device
is off. A voltage transient across the drain and source can
be coupled to the gate via the gate-to-drain paraSitic capaCitance, Crss . Oepending on the magnitude of the gateto-source impedance and the displacement current flowing into the gate node (i = C dv/dt), the gate-to-source
voltage may rise above VGS(th), causing spurious turnon.
Obviously, for this case the dV/dt immunity of the device
depends to a large extent on the gate-to-source impedance. This underscores the importance of proper gate
termination to promote good noise immunity and is one
reason why operation of power MOSFETswith the gate
open circuited is not recommended.
With its gate shorted to its source, each of Motorola's
TMOS devices will withstand dv/dt's of at least 30 V/ns,
which is in excess of. values commonly seen in practical
applications.
'
If the gate-to-source impedance is high and a voltage
transient occurs between drain and source, spurious turnon is much more likely than device failure. Typically, the

DRAIN-SOURCE VOLTAGE STRESS

Although all power MOSFETs experience some internally generated voltages during rapid switching, peak
di/dt's are usually not extreme and the associated voltages are generally small. However, the current ratings of
power MOSFETs recently have inCreased rapidly and,

transient will be coupled to the gate and cause the
MOSFETto begin its turn-on. But as VGS rises, VOS falls
and the dv/dt is reduced. Thus, the phenomena is selfextinguishing and generally is not destructive to any circuit
elements.
The second mode in which dv/dt may be of concern
occurs when the MOSFET is turned off and an extremely
rapidly-rising flyback voltage is generated. Since all loads
appear inductive at high switching speeds, the device experiences simultaneous stresses imposed by a high drain
current, a high VOS and large displacement currents in
the parasitic capacitances. Problems associated with this
"dynamic dv/dt" (so named because the device is being
switched off and is generating its own dv/dt) are evidenced
by device failure.
Unless extraordinary circuit layout techniques are used
- e.g., hybridized circuits that eliminate package and lead
impedance - maximum attainable dv/dt's in the dynamic
mode range from 10 to 45 V/ns, depending on the VOSS
rating of the device. Among the various product lines,
maximum turn-off speeds do not differ widely and the
attainable dv/dt is mainly determined by the magnitude of
the voltage that the drain can be switched through. Consequently, a 1000 V MOSFET can generate a greater
dynamic dv/dt than a 60 V device, regardless of die size.
All TMOS mask sets are tested and found to be immune
to self generated dv/dt's during very rapid, clamped inductive turn-off. The test circuit used has an extremely
tight RF layout, and the switching speeds and dv/dt's generated are assumed to be practical limits.
The third condition in which rapidly riSing drain-tosource voltage may cause problems is the most stressful
and probably most common. It occurs in bridge configurations wherein the drain-source diode is allowed to conduct current. Failures are usually catastrophic and are
limited to a specific set of conditions. The circuit in Figure
4-12 will serve as an illustration.
Assume the inductive load is being pulse-width mod-

ulated by 01 and 02 and that the intrinsic drain-source
diodes 01 and 02 provide the current conduction path
after the. MOSFETs are turned off. When 01 is turned on,
it establishes current 11. The load current (12) is commutated to 02 when 01 is turned off. If 01 is rapidly turned
on again while 02 is still conducting, dv/dt considerations
are in order. 02 may suffer damage because its diode is
conducting while it experiences a rapid rise in VOS.
Studies have shown that failures can occur at dv/dt's
in the range of 1.0 V/ns and are common to all MOSFETs
tested, regardless of the manufacturer. Since these
dv/dt's are not difficult to attain with power MOSFETs,
steps must be taken to ensure reliability.
Suggestions for circumventing this problem have already been introduced. One such topology is shown in
Figure 4-13. Obviously, the intent of this circuit is to eliminate the problem by not allowing the intrinsic diode to
conduct. However, the higher parts count, additional cost
and the voltage drop due to the diode in series with the
FET are all undesirable. Another solution is to limit the
dv/dt with snubbers or by slowing the MOSFET turn-on.

The gate of the MOSFET, which is electrically isolated

be damaged if the power MOSFET is handled or installed
improperly. Exceeding the 20 V maximum gate-to-source
voltage rating, VGS(maxl, can rupture the gate insulation
and destroy the FET. TMOS FETs are not nearly as susceptible as CMOS devices to damage due to static discharge because the input capacitances of power
MOSFETs are much larger and absorb more energy before being charged to the gate breakdown voltage. However, once breakdown begins, there is enough energy

stored in the gate~source capacitance to ensure the complete perforation of the gate oxide. To avoid the possibility
of device failure caused by 'static discharge, precautions
similar to those taken with small-signal MOSFET and
CMOS devices apply to power MOSFETs.
When shipping, the devices should be transported only
in antistatic bags or conductive foam. Upon removal from
the packaging, careful handling procedures should·be adhered to. Those handling the devices should wear groundIng straps and devices not in the antistatic packaging
should be kept in metal tote bins. MOSFETs should be
handled by the case and not by the leads. and when
testing the device, all leads' should make good electrical
contaqt before voltage is applied. As a final note, when
placing the FET into the system it is designed for, sol-

dering should be done with a grounded iron.
The gate of the power MOSFET could stili be in danger
after the device is placed in the intended circuit. If the
gate may see voltage transients which exceed VGS(max),
the circuit designer should place a 20 V zener across the
gate and source terminals to clamp any potentially destructive spikes. Using a resistor to keep the gate-tosource· impedance low also helps damp transients and
serves another Important function. Voltage transients on
the draln.can be coupled to the gate through the parasitic
gate-drain capacitance. 'If the' gate-to-source impedance
and the rate of voltage change on the drain are both high,
then the signal coupled to the gate may be large enough
to exceed the gate-threshold voltage and turn the device
on.

Chapter 5: Gate Drive Requirements
Power MOSFET Gate Drive Requirements

(if the gate is consid~red the positive electrode). When
the drain is "off" and is blocking a relatively high drainto-source voltage, Cgd is. charged to quite a different
potential. In this case the voltage across Cgd is a high
negative value since the potential from gate-to-source is
near or below zero volts and VDS is essentially the drain
supply voltage.
During turn-on and turn-off, these large swings in gateto-drain voltage tax the current sourcing and sinking capabilities of the gate-drive. In addition to charging and
discharging Cgs , the gate-drive must also supply the displacement current required by Cgd (igate = Cgd dVDS/
dt). Unless the gate-drive impedance is fairly low, the VGS
waveform commonly plateaus during rapid changes in the
drain-source voltage.
By dividing the switching transition into three distinct
periods, an accurate estimate of the switching speeds can
be obtained. Figure 5-2 illustrates the transfer function of
an MTP3N40. To reach a given operating point, the drain
current follows this transfer function as VGS increases
from zero to VGS(on)'
1. In Region I in Figure 5-2 and between times to and
t1 in Figure 5-3, the device is "off" and drain current is
essentially zero. Input capacitance is Ciss; this capacitance must ~ charged to VGS(th), the boundary between
Region I and II. At time t1 the device is just beginning to
turn on.
2. In Region II, which corresponds to the time between
t1 and t2, the device is in the transition between "off" and
"on." Drain current is controlled by 9fs, the device transconductance. Since VGS increases only slightly in
Region II, little additional charge enters Cgs . Drain voltage, however, falls from VDD to slightly above VDS(on)'
This, in effect, multiplies Cgd by the circuit voltage gain,
the familiar Miller Effect. Tile drive circuitry must supply
the displacement current to Cgd during the transition
through Region II.
3. In Region'" and between times t2 and Is, the device
is "on" and the drain-source impedance is mainly resistive. Drain current depends for the most part on VDS and
only to a lesser extent on VGS. Input capacitance is,
again, Ciss and must be charged to VGS(on)'

Bipolar power transistors have been around for decades
drive circuits for these devices abound. Power
MOSFETs are new arrivals. They differ from their bipolar
counterparts especially in their input characteristics.
These differences and their implications must be understood in order to insure that the MOSFET is operated in
an optimum fashion.
Driving a power MOSFET is tantamount to driving a
capacitive reactance network. Depending on the region
of operation, the input "sees" either Ciss, the CommonSource Input capacitance, or Crss , the Common-Source
Reverse Transfer capacitance. Ciss is the sum of the
gate-to-source capacitance, Cgs, and the gate-to-drain
capacitance, Cgd. Cgs , consisting for the most part of the
capacitance between the gate structure and source metal,
is relatively independent of voltage; Crss (Cgd) on the
other hand, is mainly the MOS capacitance befween gate
and drain region and increases sharply (Figure 5-1) for
drain voltages less than about 5.0 volts.

The device capacitances, especially the reverse transfer capacitance, and the gate-drive source impedance
largely determine the device switching speed. Since the
MOSFET input capacitances vary significantly with the
die area, a given gate-drive will switch a smaller device
such as the MTP5N06 more rapidly than the larger
MTM15N40. However, two considerations complicate the
task of estimating switching times .. First, since the magnitude of the input capacitance, Ciss, varies with VDS,
the RC time constant determined by the gate-drive impedance and Ciss changes during the switching cycle. Consequently, computation of the rise time of the gate voltage
by using a specific gate-drive impedance and input capacitance yields only a rough estimate. The second consideration is the effect of the "Miller" capacitance, Crss ,
which is referred to as Cgd in the following discussion.
An example best explains why it influences switching
times.
When a high voltage device is "on," VDS is fairly small
andVGS is about 15V. Cgd is charged to VGS - VDS(on)

the potential across Cgd is changing. This is an especially
demanding time for ttie gate-drive since Cgd is not only
acting as a Miller capacitance, but its magnitude is greatest at low drain-source voltages, as seen in Figure 5-1.
As soon as VDS ri,ses above 10 V (where the magnitude
of Cgd is smaller), the switching process accelerates.. Between t2 and 13, the drain-source voltage rises rapidly and
VGS falls only slightly. Except for abberations caused by
circuit parasitics, ID falls in accordance with the transfer
characteristics (Figure 5-5). For example, some of the
"drain" current shown in Figure 5-4 is actually flowing into
Cgd.
.,
The 200 V zener across the drain-source (Figure 4-8)
begins to conduct at t3 and rapidly diverts current from
the MTP3N40. Since VDS is no longer changing, the Miller
effect is no longer a factor and the gate-drive easily discharges Ciss between t3 and 4, completing the turn-off.

Just as they govern the turn~on process, the parasitic
capacitances and gate-drive impedance also dictate turnoff speeds. At faster switching speeds, turn-off waveforms
are particularly interesting because di/dt's are not limited
by load or wiring inductance.
The oscillogram of Figure 5-4 shows the turn-off waveforms of an MTP3N40. Between times to and t1, the

COMMON SOURCE SWITCHING
TTL Gate-Drives
Driving a TMOS power transistor directly from a CMOS
or open-collector TTL device is possible, but this circuit
simplicity is obtained at the cost of slower switching
speeds due to the charging current required by the
MOSFET's parasitic input capacitance and the limited
source and sink capabilities of these drivers.
A TTL device with a totem pole output and no additional
circuitry is generally not an acceptable gate-drive network.
In this case, the output voltage available is approximately
3.5 volts, which is insufficient to ensure the MOSFET will
be driven into the ohmic region. A slightly more promising
situation would be to use a pull-up resistor on the TTL
output to utilize the entire 5.0 V supply, but even the full
5.0 V on the gate would not guarantee the MOSFET will
conduct even half of its rated continuous drain current.
The open-collector TTL device, when used with a pullup resistor tied to a separate 10 to 15 V supply, can
guarantee rapid gate turn-off and ensure sufficient gate
voltage to turn the MOSFET fully on (Figure 5-6). Turrion is not as rapid because the pull-up resistor must be
sized to limit power disSipation in the lower TTL output
transistor. However, when concerned about dynamic
losses incurred while switching an inductive load, the gate
fall time is more critical than the rise time due to the phase
relationship between the drain current and drain-source
Voltage. Figure 5-7 shows a configuration providing fast
turn-on, yet reducing power dissipation in the TTL device.
When the lower transistor in the TTL output stage is
turned on, shunting the MOSFET input capacitance to
ground, modeling the bipolar asa saturated device may
not be appropriate. The current sinking capabilities of TTL
devices in the low output state is limited by the beta of
the pull-down transistor and its available base current,
which varies with the product line and TTL family. Table
1 shows the current source and sink capabilities of various
TTL families.
Although the TTL peak current sinking capability might
be twice the continuous rating, faster turn-off can be
achieved by using an outboard transistor to clamp the
gate-Io-ground (Figure 5-8). In this configuration, the bipolars are operating as emitter followers. As such, they

FIGURE 5-7 - OPEN COLLECTOR TTL-TMOS INTERFACE FOR
FASTER TURN-ON AND REDUCED POWER DISSIPATION

are never driven into saturation and their associated storage times do not significantly, affect the switching frequency limit.
CMOS Gate-Drives
Driving the power MOSFET directly from CMOS presents a different set of advantages and disadvantages.
Perhaps most important, CMOS and power MOSFETs
can be operated from the same 10 to 15 volt supply. A
gate voltage of at least 10 volts will ensure the MOSFET
is operating ,in its ohmic region when conducting its rated

cOntinuous current. This benefit allows the designer to
directly interface CMOS and TMOS without any additional
circuitry including external pull-up resistors. Again, however, circuit simplicity results in slower MOSFET switching
due to the ilmited current source and sink capabilities of
CMOS devices. Table 2 compares the output current capabilities of standard CMOS 'gates to that of the CMOS
buffers (MC14049, 14050). Note that while the current
sinking capacity of the buffers is improved significantly
over that of the standard CMOS gate, the current sourcihg
capacity is not. The figures in Tables 1 and 2 indicate the
current at which the device can still maintain its output
voltage within the proper logic level for a given logic state.
As an illustration, with a VOS of 15 V, a standard CMOS
gate can typically source 8.8 mA in the HIGH state without
its output falling below 13:5 volts.
If the switching speeds of CMOS buffers are not rapid
enough, the discrete buffers suggested for use with TTL
devices (Figures 5-7 and 5-8) can also be used to interface
CMOS to TMOS. The only difference is the pull-up resistors are unnecessary for CMOS. Another difference in the
two technologies that may.affect the maximum switching
frequency limit is that the TTL gates typically have faster
switching times.

volts, the peak gate voltage falls below 10 volts and may
eventually drop to a point where the device is no longer
operating in the ohmic region. Increasing the primary voltage to 20 volts would increase the maximum allowable
duty cycle.
The basic pulse transformer topology of Circuit 1 also
has both maximum and minimum pulse width limitations
in addition to those imposed by the volt-seconds requirements. The current in the primary winding may. ramp-up
to excessive levels due to magnetic saturation, especially
in the smaller pulse transformers, if the pulse width is too
wide. On the other hand, very short pulse widths may
cause two different problems. First, transformer leakage
inductance may limit current sourcing capability during a
significant portion of the turn-on interval of a very small
pulse width. Second, the pulse width must be wide enough
to allow the magnetizing current (1m) to ramp-up significantly, because the stored energy (defined by the current
in the magnetizing inductance) provides turn-off drive to
the MOSFET gate. To eliminate the problem of 1m varying
with pulse width and to improve turn-off drive, the circuit
shown in Figure 5-10 may be used.
A modification to. the basic transformer gate-drive circuit
described above is the addition of a zener diode in series
with the clamping diode (Circuit 2). The zener allows ad-

Other Gate-Drives
In certain situations pulse transformers are an effective
means of driving the gate of a power MOSFET. They
provide the isolation needed to drive bridge configurations
or to control an N-Channel MOSFET driving a grounded
load. One of the simplest examples of such a circuit is
the first circuit in Table 3 where the rise, fall, and delay
times for this and the other circuits to be discussed are
tabulated.
The diode in Circuit 1 is present simply to limit the
flyback voltage appearing across the drive transistor Q1.
A transformer turns ratio of one-to-one was chosen to
provide an appropriate voltage at the secondary given the
15 volt primary supply voltage. A potential problem with
this circuit is that the duty cycle influences the magnitude
of VGS because the volt-seconds produced during the on
and off intervals at the secondary must sum to zero. Figure 5-9 indicates that increasing the duty cycle decreases
the maximum gate-source voltage. As the duty cycle increases above 33%, for the given primary voltage of 15

during low duty cycle operation may be critical if efficiency
is a major concern.
Circuits 7 and 8 are similar versions of a circuit that can
be used as a high performance gate-drive. The base currents for the bipolar drives must be push-pulled as shown
in Figure 5-11. MOSFET turn-on is initiated during a positive transition of the input pulse. 01 is turned on, supplying the required base current for 03, which is Baker
clamped to minimize its turn-off storage time. Both circuits
have excellent turn-on times because of the low impedance path provided between the supply and the gate of
the MOSFET.
Turn-off occurs when the falling edge of the input pulse
is differentiated by the series combination of R1 and C1,
thus turning on 02. Base current is then free to flow into
04, clamping the gate-to-ground or a negative potential.
The duration of the clamping interval may be adjusted by
varying the RC network. Before the occurrence of another
input pulse, the MOSFET will remain off due to the 470 n
gate-source resistance.
Circuits 9 through 12 are examples of how TTL devices
may interface with the TMOS power MOSFET. The first
of the circuits, number 9, has a very simple interface between the open collector, Low Power Schottky SN74LS05
hex inverter and the MTP12N10. Turn-off speed is fair,
considering the circuit simplicity, but turn-on speed is poor
because of the large value of R1 needed to protect the
inverter from excessive power dissipation when the TTL
output is low. Putting three such buffers in parallel, Circuit
10, reduces all the associated switching times by a factor
of nearly two-thirds.
Another TTL device with an open collector output is
utilized in Circuit 11. Two of the six buffers in the SN7407
operate in parallel with only a pull-up resistor and the gate
of the MOSFET connected to -the collector of the high
voltage (30 volts) output transistors. The associated
switching times are quite respectable given the simplicity
of the drive circuit.
Another application of the SN7407, as mentioned earlier, is to use it to drive a discrete complementary emitterfollower buffer (Circuit 12). Lowering the pull-up resistor,
R1, increases the turn-on speed at the expense of increasing gate turn-off power dissipation.
Figure 5-12 shows an MTM12N10 being driven by a
CMOS MC14050CLHex Buffer. To obtain the maximum
output current source and sink capability, all six buffer
elements are paralleled.
While the pull-up resistor is not a necessity (as it is with
open-collector TTL devices), it does balance the current
source and sink capabilities of the CMOS buffer. Without
that resistor, one could expect slower turn-on but the drive
circuit would be more efficient because the CMOS device
no longer must sink the current drawn through R1 when
the CMOS outputs are low. Of course, fewer than the six
paralleled inverters could be used at the cost of slower
switching. Figure 5-13 shows the switching waveforms
without a pull-up resistor. For the six buffer elements in
parallel the peak IG during turn-on is about 350 rnA and
900 inA during turn-off.
While not as fast as other more elaborate drive circuits,
the MC14050CL offers an inexpensive single power sup-

ditional flyback voltage to appear across the primary terminal, when 01 is turned off. When this additional potential is induced across the secondary, it initially provides
greater reset voltage levels and, thus, more rapid gate
turn-off. Naturally, inherent in this circuit are the same duty
cycle, pulse width and frequency limitations that accompanied Circuit 1.
Circuit 3 is very similar to Circuit 1 except the gate
resistances are scaled upward and one is shunted by a
diode. The purpose of this configuration is to speed up
the MOSFET turn-on while leaving the turn-off slow in
comparison. While the MOSFET input capacitance can
charge rapidly through the diode, it must discharge
through the two relatively high impedance gate resistances. This might be done to minimize inductive flyback
voltage or any other undesired phenomena occurring during very rapid turn-off.
A variation of the push-pull converter is used to drive
the gate of the MOSFET in Circuit 4. When 01 is turned
on, the 10 volts across the lower of the two primary windings induces the same potential in N2. The voltage seen
at the secondary, due to the 2:1 step-down ratio (N1 +
N2/N3), equals the primary supply voltage. At turn-off, the
potential across N2 reverses and is clamped to the to V
supply by D1. Now N2 induces its voltage in N1 and the
potential appearing at the secondary reverses in polarity
but the magnitude is still 10 volts. If the pulse width is long
enough to generate sufficient magnetizing current, this
circuit yields good current sinking capabilities.
Two opto-coupled drive circuits are shown in Circuits 5
and 6. Circuit 5 is one of the most straightforward ways
of developing a low impedance gate-drive from the output
of the optocoupler. This circuit, however, is plagued by
long switching delays that limit the useful operating frequency. These delays are inherent in the optocoupler and
their magnitudes are affected by the phototransistor's output load impedance. If this impedance is lowered, as accomplished with Circuit 6, the gate-drive turn-off delay is
significantly lower. Besides the complexity of these circuits, especially Circuit 6, the gate-drive's bipolar output
tranSistor, 02, must remain on the entire time that the
MOSFET is off. The energy dissipated in these two drivers

ply device that interfaces directly to CMOS and MHTL
circuitry.
Figure 5-14 shows the results of the MTM12N10 being
driven by a single MC14050CL buffer element. Note the
time scale has been doubled to allow VGS to rise to its
upper rail. The gate current scale is a factor of four. smaller:
peak gate. currents of about 70 mA during turn-on and
240 mA during turn-off are seen.

Several ICs that were originally intended for other applications have been adopted by some circuit designers
looking for fast, yet simple and efficient MOSFET gatedrive schemes. One such device is the MC1472, a dual
peripheral driver, designed to interface MOS logic to high
. current loads such as relays, lamps and printer hammers.
Because each of the two output transistors. can sink 300
mA, MOSFET turn-off times are short when this. device
is used in a gate-drive network. Turn-on times are also
short in Circuit 14 because the value of R1 is so low that
it only minimally impedes the current during the charging
of the MOSFET input capacitances. The advantage of this
large current sourcing capability is once again offset by
the significant currents that will flow whenever the
MC1472 output is low to turn the MOSFET off. In fact, for
the 25 ohm pull-up resistor and a VCC1 of 15 volts, that
current approaches the combined sinking capabilities of
the two output transistors in that package.
The MMH0026 Clock Driver haS been designed to drive
high capacitance loads. It features a peak output current
of 1.5 A and transition times of about 30 ns when' driving
capacitance loads equivalent to the Ciss of a power
MOSFET. Input drive voltages for the MMHOO26 are compatible with Series 54174 TTL devices,such as the
MC7405 Hex Inverter (OC). Detailed information regarding transition times versus load capacitance and pOwer
dissipation can be found in the MMHOO26 data sheet.
Figure 5-15 identifies the MMH0026 driving an
MTM12N10. To illustrate the high peak gate currents that
can be sourced by the MMHOO26, no resistance was in. eluded between driver oiJtput and MOSFETgate. It is
important to remember that, with gate current transitions
occurring in the low nanosecond range, any lead inductance between driver and gate will add (URg) delay to the
gate circuit. Keep the distance between driver output and
gate terminal as short as possible when fast switching
times are important.

limited by the insertion of an appropriately sized resistor
in series with the MMH0026 and the gate of the
MTM12N10, to increase the RgCiss time constant, if the
increase in turn-on time is acceptable.

pulse width modulation control circuit and the MC75451
peripheral driver. As power MOSFETs gain in popularity,
more drivers specifically designed for MOSFETs will appear.

Besides showing the MTP8N10 is not always the best
choice for a complement to the MTP8P10, the table also
indicates the die area of a P-channel device must be
approximately doubled to achieve the on-resistance of an
N-channel device with the same V(BR)DSS rating.
P-channel power MOSFETs can simplify certain circuit
configurations much in the same way that PNP blpolars
can. The circuit simplicity obtained when using P-channel
devices to switch a grounded load, for instance, may more
than offset the price differential between the N- and Pchannel devices.
In Figure 5-19 the source is connected to the positive
rail and the drain is attached to the load. As such, the
MOSFET is off when VGS = 0 V and begins to turn on
as VGS (a negative quantity) rises in absolute magnitude
above the device threshold voltage. Current would then
be free to flow from the source-to-drain and into the load.
Still, a logic signal, which is normally referenced to ground,
must be used to control the gate. A level shifter, followed
by a discrete emitter-follower buffer can supply the proper
logic levels while at the same time provide rapid MOSFET
switching. The NPN-PNP buffer could be omitted if slower
switching is desired.

HIGH SIDE SWITCHING
In some situations, connecting the load to the negative
bus is either convenient or necessary. In such instances
the switching element must be referenced to the positive
rail as shown in Figure 5-17. As with PNP and NPN bipolars, both P-channel and N-channel power MOSFETs
can perform this switching function. The following discussion of high side switching centers about the P-channel
in a common source configuration, and an N-channel
source follower as illustrated in Figures 5-17a and 5-17b.
All of the concepts presented also apply to the upper
switch (or switches) in totem pole or bridge configurations.
Figure 5-18 shows that 01 is essentially operating in a
source follower mode when 02 is turned off and is effectively out of the circuit.
P·Channel Power MOSFETs
To complement some of the N-channel devices,
Motorola also produces P-channel power MOSFETs. Because current carriers in the P-channel devices are holes,
which have lower mobility than the electron carriers of the
N-channel devices, the rDS(on) of P-channel MOSFETs
is always greater for a given die size and drain-source
breakdown voltage. This impedes the development of truly
complementary devices. For instance, if equal on-resistances are deSired, the unequal die dimensions will mandate differences in all die area dependent parameters
such as capacitances, pulsed current ratings, thermal resistance and safe operating areas.
The application will determine which of the device parameters - whether it be the on-resistance, drain-source
breakdown voltage, transconductance, etc. , - need be
matched closely. Table 4 compares the pertinent electrical
parameters of the MTP8P10 with those of N-channel devices that may be considered as device complements.

FIGURE 5-178 - P-CHANNEL IN
A COMMON SOURCE
CONFIGURATION

N-Channel High Side Switching
Instead of using a P-channel as the high side switch,
another choice is to use a less expensive N-channel
power MOSFET with the load placed in the source circuit
- a source follower.
Since there is no voltage gain in a source follower, the
gate voltage must equal the output voltage plus the gatesource voltage at that particular load current. Also, for
efficient power transfer, the source voltage, when
switched on, should approach the positive rail (limited by
rDS(on))' Thus, the gate voltage should be well above the
positive rail, i.e., VG = VGS(on) + Vs "" VGS(on) +
VDD. For hard gate turn-on, VGS should be greater than
10 V. Consequently, the gate voltage for a 12 V system
could approach 22 V. This higher than VDD supply gate
voltage can be achieved by several techniques:

especially since its output must be greater than what is
commonly the system's high voltage bus. Another consideration is that turn·off switching speeds will be degraded due to the flyback voltage forward biasing the gatesource 'unless the load inductance is clamped with a freewheeling diode.

PULSE TRANSFORMERS
Pulse transformers are a very popular and practical way
of driving an N-channel MOSFET serving as the upper
element in a bridge network or as any other high side
switch. The beauty of the transformer drive is that the
gate-drive signal is easily referenced to the source of the
MOSFET, as Figure 5-21 illustrates. Circuits 1 through 4,
(page.A-38 and A-39) will perform just as well with the
load common to the source and the drain tied to the pos-

SEPARATE SUPPLY
The most straightfoward way to accomplish high side
switching with an N-channel MOSFET is to drive its gate
with a separate supply (Figure 5-20). The auxiliary supply
voltage must be from 10 to 20 volts greater than VDD to

FIGURE 5-23 - BOOTSTRAPPING CIRCUIT TO DRIVE
A GROUNDED LOAD WITH N-CHANNEL TMOS

OPTOCOUPLERS
A third way to drive a source follower is to reference
the gate-drive signal to the source of the MOSFET with
the aid of an optocoupler. Figure 5-22 is an example of
such a drive network. As long as the VCC2 supply and
the emitter of the optocoupler remain referenced to the
source, the load can be common to either the source or
the drain. The additional supply to power the output of the
optocoupler must be able to raise the gate voltage above
VOO. Either the supply must be isolated from the VOO
supply or must be generated from it with a bootstrapping
technique.

finite charge stored in Cl is eventually bled off. A second
problem is that this circuit cannot switch high voltages
since Cl will be charged to the system supply voltage
and then this potential will be impressed across the gateto-source. Fortunately, in applications that require
grounded loads, such as those in the automotive industry,
the supply voltages are often compatible with this method
of bootstrapping.
VOLTAGE DOUBLER
The gate voltage can be raised much higher than the
source or supply voltage by using a voltage doubler, as
shown in Figure 5-24. Voltage multipliers using diodes
and capacitors require an oscillator input of which a simple
and inexpensive method of obtaining this signal uses a
CMOS astable multivibrator, designed with a quad twoinput NOR gate MC14001. Gates Gl and G2 form the MV
and the parallel connected gates G3 and G4 serve as a
low output impedance buffer stage for driving the doubler
network. When these gates are powered with the same
VOO supply as the power MOSFET high side switch, the
output of the doubler (input to the FET gate) will approach
twice VOO, due to the voltage doubling effect of diodes
01-03, capacitors Cl , C2 and the input capacitance Ciss
of the FET switch. Obviously, VOO cannot exceed the
maximum voltage of the CMOS (+ 18 V).
If greater switch output voltage is required with increasing VOO, the CMOS supply can be zenered and more
diode-capacitor stages cascaded to raise the gate voltage.
With the component values shown, the astable MV will
oscillate at about 350 kHz. This signal and, consequently,
the switch can be gated ON and OFF by applying the
indicated control voltage to the second input of gates G3
and G4. However, due to the low power output of the
CMOS IC, switching speeds are quite slow - tens of
milliseconds - limiting this circuit to slow switching applications. Turn-off lime can be substantially improved by

BOOTSTRAPPING
The simplicity of bootstrapping makes that method the
one of choice if its limitations are inconsequential in the
specific application or they can somehow be circumvented. The bootstrapping circuit in Figure 5-23 generates
the required gate-to-source signal. One of the main problems with this topology is that the load cannot remain in
the on state for an unlimited period of time because the

The series connected 15 V zener diode blocks the VDD
supply from reaching the gate of 02, when 01 is off.
With this amount of gate-drive, the VDSQf 02, under
a 6.0 A load, measured about 0.5 V, resulting in fDS(on)

(94% power transfer).
As in the previous source·follower gate-drive circuit, the
power switch is enabled. by a zero logic level to one input
of NOR Gate G1.·For this circuit, however, turn-off switch·
ing speeds are much faster - about 0.15 ms ~ due to
the relatively higher power output of the converter gatedrive.
This type of gate-drive can also be used in totem-pole
(half or full-bridge) configurations, where the upper switch
is also essentially a source follower. For details, see the
Motor Controller Section.

transistor. .
FlYBACK CONVERTER
Another circuit for raising the gate voltage well above
the supply voltage, one that uses a flyback conVerter, is
shown in Figure 5-25. The power switch used in this converter, an MTP3N12 power MOSFET (01), is easily driven
by the CMOS, 100 kHz; astable multivibrator (MV). This
circuit uses two of the Hex Inverter MC14572 gates (G1
and G2) as the MV with the remaining four inverters, in
parallel, providing the gate-drive to the FET, about 25 mA
peak to charge Ciss. When 01 turns on, the drain current
ramps-up to about O.B A and upon turn-Off, the flyback
voltage reaches about 60 V. This inductor stored energy
is then dumped into the diode-resistor-capacitor load circuitto provide the bias for the power FET switch 02

mal coupling of the paralleled devices, provided that the
total heat sinking capability is not compromised by dOing
so. This will tend to minimize the differences in both case
and junction temperature. Before a worst case example
of these concepts can be examined, some knowledge of
the range of the variation of rOS(on) within production
devices must be obtained.
Unless devices are matched for identical onresistances, there will be at least a slight mismatch in their
individual drain currents. The worst case situation is obviously the paralleling of devices with the widest possible
variation in rOS(on)' Two wafer lots of the MTP8N18 were
sampled to obtain some idea of the range of variation of
rOS(on) within the same wafer lot and between wafer lots.
In addition to information on rOS(on), Table 1 contains
data on the parameters important to dynamic current sharing which will be addressed later. From this information,
one will have to design for a worst case rOS(on) mismatch
of 30%.

In some applications, the most beneficial characteristic
of the power MOSFET is its ability to be paralleled to
increase current conduction and power switching capabilities. Current sharing among devices is important in all
of the modes in which the MOSFET may conduct current.
These modes are:

Since the considerations for each case are quite different, each must be investigated independently before
the MOSFET can be regarded as a device that is easily
paralleled. The following sections show that the MOSFET
can be paralleled in each of the four modes provided
certain simple recommendations are followed.

Static Current Sharing Design
Considerations
Although increasing junction temperature raises the
on-resistance and the conduction losses of the power
MOSFET, definite benefits are attributable to the positive
temperature coefficient of rOS(on)' If a portion of the chip
begins to hog current, the localized temperature will increase, causing a corresponding increase in the rOS(on)
of that portion of the chip, and current will shift away to
the cooler, less active, portions of the die. This trait accounts for the tendency of the device to share current
over the entire surface of the die's active region. Because
current crowding and hotspotting are eliminated under
normal operating conditions, there is no need to derate
power MOSFETs to guard against secondary breakdown.
The argument supporting current sharing within a device, due to the positive temperature coefficient of
rOS(on), is easily extended to the .case of paralleled devices. As within a single device with some imbalance in
rOS(on) over the die's active area, an imbalance or mismatch of rOS(on) between devices will cause an initial
current loading imbalance between devices. The resulting
rise in junction temperature and on-resistance of the device with the lowest rOS(on) will decrease that device's
drain current and will establish a more equal distribution
of the total load current in all paralleled devices.
While this tendency is definitely observable, its influence on the degree of current sharing is often overestimated. In the power MOSFET, the current sharing
mechanism is not triggered simply by high junction ·temperature, but by the difference in TJ between the low and
high rOS(on) devices. Oue to the generally small thermal
coefficient of rOS(on), this difference in junction temperature sometimes must be substantial to attain a high degree of current sharing.
Since the ultimate concern is for optimum reliability, the
emphasis should not be placed on obtaining large deltas
in TJ to force a greater degree of current sharing. On the
contrary, the effort should be focused on decreasing TJ
of the hottest device. This is accomplished by close ther-

• Maximum Rated rOSlen) is 0.4 ohms.

rOS(on) is influenced by the magnitude of the drain
current and the junction temperature. 10 and TJ are, in
turn, a function of the power dissipation, which is strongly
dependent upon rOS(on)' The quality of heat sinking and
thermal coupling between devices also affects 10 and TJ.
These interdependent relationships make an analytical
attempt to determine the degree of current sharing between several devices with a given rOS(on) mismatch
rather complicated. An example of an iterative analytical
process used to accomplish this end follows. The estimated 10 mismatch is somewhat dependent on the initial
assumptions.
Design requirements could include the following:
1. Maximum desired junction temperature is 125°C.
2. Sufficient heat sinking will be supplied to maintain a
90°C case temperature when TA = 35°C during
maximum power dissipation.
3. Assume worst case rOS(on) mismatch for the
MTP8N18 is 0.230 to 0.400 ohms @ 10 = 4.0 A
and TJ = 25°C.
From these conditions, the worst case variation in 10,
Po and TJ needs to be determined. First, the thermal
coefficient of rOS(on), CT, must be determined from the
on-resistance versus drain current curve (Figure 6-1).
In addition to assuming that CT is invariant with temperature and drain current, it is also supposed that thermal
coupling between device heat sinks is negligible. From
the maximum desired junction temperature (TJ = 125°C),
case temperature (TC = 90°C), and the junction to case

After two more iterations, the algorithm converges. The

negligible thermal coupling, the idealizedsituafion of perfect thermal coupling of the cases is also included for
direct comparison. The performance trade-off between
the two examples is that little thermal coupling will achieve
a greater degree of current sharing at the expense of
higher junction temperature in the hottest device (119°C
versus 12S0C). Since TJ(max) most directly influences
reliability, close thermal coupling of devices is encouraged. The manufacturer can best do this by paralleling
chips on a common heat sink.

To determine the operating conditions of a high resistance device operated in parallel with a low resistance
device, an iterative technique must be employed. The
approach is to es,irnate the junction temperature of the
cooler device and from that, compute the rDS(on) at that
TJ, the current and power dissipated, and the new Junction
temperature. The computations are then repeated until
the process converges on the correct solution.

A point essential to the above calculations is that the
steady state thermal resistance was employed to compute
the junction temperatures. For pulsed conditions ROJC
can vary significantly, and the transient thermal resistance
obtained from the thermal response curves must be used
to make this calculation. During switching transitions,
there is insufficient time to establish differences in junction
temperature and power MOSFETs may not current share
in the same manner.

Dynamic Current Sharing Design
Considerations
The term "dynamic" is broadened here to include not
only current during turn-on and turn-off, but also peak
current during narrow pulses and small duty cycles. Under
these conditions, not enough RMS current is present to
cause differential heating of the junctions which triggers
the tendencies of the devices to share current. Since the
argument supporting current sharing under static conditions is based on differe(1ces in junction temperature due
to an imbalance of power dissipation and drain currents,
that reasoning does not support the concept of current
sharing during dynamic conditions. However, even without
the benefit of the positive temperature coefficient, power
MOSFETs can current share reasonably well with simple
and efficient gate-drive circuitry.
The issues of greatest concern to those interested in
dynamic current sharing of paralleled MOSFETs are listed
and described in order below.

Device Parameters That Influence Dynamic
Current Sharing
The device parameters that influence the degree of dynamic current sharing are the transconductance (9fs),
gate-source threshold voltage [VGS(th)I, input capacitance, and the on-resistance rDs(onl' However, the device characteristic that most accurate y predicts how well
paralleled MOSFETs will current share during turn-on or
turn-off is the transconductance curve, i.e., the relationship between the drain current and the gate-source voltage. To obtain optimum current distribution during turnon and turn-off, the ideal situation is to have all gatesource voltages rising (or falling) simultaneously on devices with identical transconductance curves. This combination would ensure that as the devices switch through
the active region, none would be overstressed by a current
imbalance. Figures 6-2a, 6-2b and 6-2c show the nearly
perfect degree of current sharing obtainable solely by
matching the 9fs curves. The current probe used induced
a 20 ns delay in the current waveform in the oscillograms
shown.
Since plotting the entire 9fs curve of each device is very
time consuming, matching VGS(th) or 9fs at some drain
current has been suggested as a simpler criterion for
matching paralleled MOSFETs. While much of the literature suggests the importance of matching VGS(th),
which is normally defined as the minimum gate voltage
at which a small drain current (usually specified as 1.0
mAl begins to flow, this does not accurately indicate the

Required Matching for Safe Levels of Current
Distribution
After characterization and determining the degree of
variation possible, the effects of matching or mismatching
the critical device characteristics can be observed. The
circuit used for this study is shown in Figure 6-5. Some
of the possible modifications of the circuit include adding
resistors in series with the gate to slow the turn-on and
turn-off, and a second MOSFET may be included to clamp
the gate bus to ground to observe the effects of very rapid
turn-off.
In this discussion of resistive switching, Figure 6-2 will
serve as a standard for comparisons since matching transconductance curves has achieved such good performance. Extreme care was taken to provide as pure a
resistive load as possible. The 1.6 ohm load was constructed from 39, 62-ohm carbon composition resistors
connected in parallel between two copper plates. Though
the drain wiring and load inductances were very small,
during rapid turn-on, the UR time constant of the circuit
may be the factor that limits the current rise times and not
the switching speed of the MOSFETs.
One of the worst case situations is to parallel devices
with greatly mismatched 9fs curves. Representing the

Variation of Pertinent Device Parameters .
from Lot to Lot
Before any definitive statement may be made concerning the degree or type Of matching required for safe dynamic current sharing, the variation of pertinent device
parameters from 1.0t to lot must be known. Two wafer lots
of the NiTP8N18s, with sample sizes of 100 and 50 units
respectively, were characterized for this pupose. The
maximum and minimum values. of threshold voltage,
transconductance, and on-resistance are shown in Table
1. Figure 6-4 illustrates the widest variation in 9fs curves

Devices with 1.0 rnA thresholds that vary by as much as
2.0 volts do not usu~lIy, but can,. have nearly identical
transconductance curves above 100 rnA. Conversely,
those devices out'ora group of one hundred MTP8N18s
found to have the widest variation of 9fs curves had
thresholds that varied by only 4%. Therefore, for optimum
current sharing, the ideal solution is to use devices with
identical curves, and comparing thresholds may not be
the best way to achieve this.
Another simple, yet more consistent, method is to match
devices by comparing the maximum drain current they will
conduct at a gate voltage higher than VGS(th)' For example, all four devices shown in Figure 6-2 conduct an
10 of 4.0 A at a VGS of 6.0 volts and were found to have
nearly identical 9fs curves (Figure 6-3). Though similar to
matching thresholds, this method matches points on the
9fs curve that are more germane to the intended application of the devices.

6-4 shows the curve of a device that will begin to turn on

first and possibly fail due to current overload. However,
since the variation in the 10 versus VGS curves of these
mismatched devices is small, the failure will not occur. As
shown in Figure 6-6, parallel operation of these mis-

Matching the 1.0 mA thresholds does not guarantee the

similar 9fs curves even though their 1.0 mA threshold

group are almost simultaneous while the turn-off is just
short of ideal.

current has been substantially reduced and the slightly
unsynchronized tum~off poses no threat to the MTP12N1 0
at these switching speeds.
ltis apparent that for this specific application, i.e., resistive switching' at moderate switching speed, device
matChing improves paralleled performance but is not necessary for safe operation. This recommendation will be
extended to include both fast and slow switching speeds
for both resistive and inductive loads provided certain circuit layout criteria are met.

not quite as predictable, rapid rt;lsistive switching also appears safe.
A comparison of Figures 6-12,6-13, and 6-14 indicates
that faster switching tends to improve dynamic current
sharing. This is.in part a consequence of switching the
devices through the active region at a much faster rate
and correspondingly decreasing any difference in switching speeds. The parasitiC source inductance also plays
an important role as discussed below.
Dynamic Current Sharing With Inductive Loads
The investigation of the effects of current sharing with
inductive loads was conducted using a fast recovery diode
(40 A, 400 V) placed in parallel with a135 ~H inductor
as a load. The diode was included not so much to protect
the MOSFET against flyback voltages, but to test the paralleled transistors' ability to conduct the large peak reverse recovery current required by the diode. The standard of performance is again set by devices with matched
9ts curves and shown in Figure 6-15.

Current Sharing
The gate-drive circuit used to switch the MTP12N10
and the three MTP8N18s was altered to either increase
or decrease the switching speed: The four 0.02~Fspeed­
up capacitors were removed 10 determine the quality of
current sharing as the gate-source voltages rise or fall at
speeds that are fairly slow for power MOSFETs. The
MTP12N10 is the .first to tum on and the last to tum off
(Figure 6-13) due to the differences in the devices' 9fs
curves. During slow switching, the 10 versus VGS curves
can be used to accurately predict the 10 curves. For instance; the MTP12N10 begins to tum on when the composite'gate-source voltage waveform reaches 4.0 volts,
but the MTP8N18s hesitate until VGS reaches 4.5 volts.
Since the 10 waveforms are easily related via the 9fs
curves to the rising or falling gate voltages and the variation in thegfs curves over a product nne are fairly small,
slow switching of unmatched 1MOS power MOSFETs can
be a safe undertaking.
To judge the effects of rapid tum-of:!, a second MOSFET
waS added to clamp the gate-to-ground. This method
achieves the ·20 ns current fall, times depicted in Figure
6-14. During such rapid switching, the VGS and 9fs curves
can no longer be used to accurately predict device performance due to package and .Iead parasitics such as the
package source inductance. Once again however, these
mismatched devices performed well .as they were
switched very rapidly through the active region. Although

resistances a high-Q network (Figure 6-20) is established
that may cause the device to oscillate when operating in
or switching through the active region. The device transconductance, gate-to-drain parasitic capacitance, and
drain and gate parasitic inductances have all been shown
to influence the stability of the circuit.
Although potentially serious, this problem is easily
averted. By decoupling the gates of each device with lossy
elements such as resistors or ferrite beads, the Q of the
circuit can be sufficiently degraded to the point that oscillations are no longer possible (note dotted resistors
shown in Figure 19). For the maximum switching speeds,
the value of gate decoupling resistors should be kept as
low as safely allowable. A value in the range of 10 to 20
ohms is generally sufficient.

A Practical ApplicaUon Load

TURN-OFF

shown in Figure 6-21. At a 50% duty cycle and a VOO of
44 V, the MOSFETs delivered about 450 W to the RC
load. To minimize the power that the drain-source zener
clamp must dissipate, MOSFET turn-off speed was limited
by the placement of an 82 0 resistor in series with each
gate.
Again, the performance of interest is that of mismatched
devices. In this· case, fifty units from a newly designed
mask set were tested for the widest variation in onresistance (0.255 0 to 0.230 0). The three highest
rOS(on) devices were grouped with the lowest rOS(on)
unit. Since a low rOS(on) usually indicates a high gis, the
transconductance curves of these devices were also mismatched.
The degree of current sharing among these four units
was well within safe. operating limits. As expected, the
lowest rOS(on) device carried the· greatest on-state current. For clarity, only the on-state currents of the lowest
and highest rOS(on) units are shown in Figure 6-22. The
currents of the other two devices were nearly identical to
device #8. As Figure 6-23 shows, the drain current of the
lowest rOS(on) device, #11, peaked slightly due to its
different 9fs curve.

CURRENT SHARING TEST CIRCUIT WITH AN INDUCTIVE LOAD

1. For static. current sharing, the current mismatches
.. are determined by the rOS(on) mismatch. A small
degree of guardbanding or rOS(on) matching will
ensure safe operation.

Each device was mounted on a separate heat sink, and
the case temperatures were monitored to detect any thermal imbalances. Because of its low rOS(on), theory predicts that the case temperature of deVice #11 will be
higher than the others. However, since the operating frequency was fairly high (40 kHz), the difference in switching
losses may have also influenced the temperature comparison. Whether it was due to a variation in rOS(on) or
9fs curves, the temperature difference was very small
(54.3°e for device #11 and 52.3°e for device #8) and did
not significantly affect device performance, i.e., the degree
of current sharing.
The following is a summary of recommendations and
findings concerning static and dynamic current, sharing
in paralleled power MOSFETs.

2. For dynamic current sharing, the turn-on and turnoff waveforms are largely determined by the transconductance curves. If matching is deemed necessary in a particular application, selecting devices
by comparing 9fs curves is the most accurate approach. A simple, yet adequate, substitute is to
match a single point on the 9fs curves at which the
devices conduct significant drain currents.
3. Increasing the switching speeds in symmetrical circuits tends to equalize the rate of current rise and

relate no information concerning how the operating point
may vary within a given product line. For example, on the
transfer characteristics curve a desired quiescent drain
current of 4.0 amps may correspond to a gate-source
voltage of 5.75 volts in a typical device. This gate voltage
applied to an atypical device of the same product line may
result in a drain current that ranges from 2.5 to 4.5 A.
Matching device parameters is often proposed as a
means of ensuring some minimum variation in the Q-point.
This approach, especially using the threshold voltage, is
not the optimum solution. The gate-threshold voltage is
defined as the minimum gate-source voltage at which the
MOSFET conducts some small drain current, usually
speCified as 1.0 mAo On the scale that the transfer characteristics are usually drawn, this 1.0 mA drain current is
very small and the exact threshold voltage is indiscernable. It is not difficult to find two devices with nearly identical transfer characteristics that have thresholds that vary
by nearly 2.0 volts. Conversely, devices with matched
thresholds can have significantly different transfer curves,
usually due to a 9fs mismatch. Attempting to match devices by comparing transconductance or on-resistance
also gives little assurance that the transfer curves will be
similar.
If component screening is desired, the most direct
method is to actually compare each 10 versus VGS curve.
Since this is often impractical, one of two other courses
may be taken. The criteria for matching could be the drain
current at the gate voltage that is typical of the desired
quiescent current. Referring back to the previous example, one may select devices on the basis of 10 at a VGS
of 5.75 volts. The other solution, which completely eliminates any device screening, involves the use of source
resistors and is detailed in the next section.
Junction temperature is another important variable that
influences the quiescent operation point. Figure 6-25
shows that the 9fs curve of the.MOSFET can be divided
into two regions .. Below a VGS of 6.1 volts, an increase
in TJ increases
This is due to the negative temperature
coefficient of VGS(th) dominating the positive coefficient
of rOS(on)' As TJ rises, the threshold voltage falls and 10
increases despite an increase in rOS(on).
At gate-to-source voltages greater than 6.1 volts, the
temperature dependence of rOS(on) governs the change

4. The circuit layout should be as symmetrical as possible with respect to the gate-drive and the source,
gate, and drain parasitic inductances.
5. In all applications, the gates should be decoupled
with small resistors or ferrite beads to eliminate parasitic oscillations.

Paralleling Power MOSFETs In Linear Applications
Often lauded for their efficient high frequency switching
capability, power MO$FETs are ideally suited for a myriad
of switching applications. However, some of their other
less renowned characteristics also make them attractive
to designers of linear systems. Often the reason cited for
their use is the inherent ruggedness of the MOSFET as
evidenced by the lack of a second breakdown derating.
Another characteristic that is appealing is the high input
impedance that results in simplified gate-drive circuitry.
Also, the transconductance is nearly linear over a wide
operating range and its variation among devices in a given
product line is small.
Although these benefits are Significant, a method of
predicting and stabilizing the operating point is necessary
before linear operation ean be successful. In the following
sections a product line is characterized for the parameters
pertinent to Q-point variation in the linear mode. The effects of a source resistor on the operating point and the
small-signal transconductance are then discussed for single device operation. Finally, these concepts are extended
to include the case of paralleled devices with special attention paid to the degree of current sharing.
.

Device Characteristics Important for Operating
Point Stability
When developing a system that operates in the linear
mode, it is often either desirable or imperative to accurately fix the system quiescent operating point (Q-point).
The most pertinent graphs describing the operation of
TMOS Power MOSFETs in the linear mode are those
showing the output characteristics (Figure 6-24) and the
transfer characteristics, or transconductance curves (Figure 6-25). However, since these are typical curves, they

in 10. Even though VGS(th) is falling as TJ rises, the effect
of the increase in rOS(on) begins to dominate, causing
10 to decrease. The temperature dependence of 10' necessitates the consideration of the effect that TJ has on
the Q-point, especially at low drain currents where the
percentage change in 10 is high.

line through the 9fs curve will indicate the drain current
at a given VGS. For instance, the device depicted in Figure
R-?7 will cnnnuct O.~75 A at a VGS of 4.7 volts.
If a source resistor is included, the abscissa represents
the gate-to-ground voltage (VGG). The relationship between VGG 'and 10 is determined by an RS load line
through a given VGG with a slope of -1/RS. Figure 6-27
shows that for an RS of 2.0 0 and a VGG of 5.45 V,
the a-point is fixed so that 10 is still 0.375 A. The effects
of varying the gate-to-ground voltage can be determined
by constructing parallel lines through the gate voltages of
interest. Changing the slope of the line graphically models
changes in RS.
.
To use the technique of employing a source resistor to
improve a-point stability, the worst case variation in the
9fs curves needs to be determined for the product line in
question. For this study, 350 MTP8N18's from the same
wafer lot were checked for the greatest difference in transconductance curves. The results are shown in Figure
6-28. With these curves; actually sizing RS and determining the gate voltage for a desired operating point (with
a defined allowable variation) is a very simple geometric
exercise.
Assume that the desired conditions are as follows:

Using a Source Resistor to Stabilize the Q-Polnt
Operating PQint stability can be improved without preselecting devices by using a source resistor. The placement of such a resistor provides degenerative feedback
to the gate by decreasing VGS by an amount proportional
to the drain current (Figure 6-26). Equations for the smallsignal transconductance and voltage gain with and without
the source resistor are derived In Table 4.
Determining the effect of a source resistor on the operating pOint of a power MOSFET is a simple geometric
exercise. The first step is to obtain, usually with a curve
tracer, the transconductance curve of the device in question. With no source resistance (RS = 0 0), a vertical

TJ = 100°C
An RS load line drawn through points A and Band
extending down to the gate voltage axis determines both
the required magnitude of RS and the quiescent gate
voltage. The figure could also be used to show the effects
of swinging the gate voltage above and below the quiescent VGG. The dashed curves in Figure 6-28 represent
the transfer characteristics at a junction temperature of
25°C. Obviously, the curves vary enough to influence the

are operated in parallel in the linear mode, the second
would dissipate far more power than the first. Unlike
MOSFETs that are paralleled in switching applications,
the difference in junction temperature forces an even
greater disparity in the amount of current each device
conducts.
As explained earlier, at low drain currents the temperature dependence of the drain current is dominated by
the negative temperature coefficient of VGS(th) rather
than the positive coefficient of rOS(on). Consequently, the
device that is dissipating the most power will heat up,
carry more current and dissipate even more power.
Although the situation appears to be hopeless - very
wide variations in 9fs curves causing even greater differences in power dissipation - the use of source resistors
can minimize the differences and dramatically improve the
chance of success.
Using a source resistor to stabilize the operating point
of devices with widely differing 9fs curves is also applicable to improving current sharing among MOSFETs operated in the linear mode. If the a-points are closely
matched, then the paralleled devices will, by definition,
carry nearly the same drain currents and incur approximately the same power disSipation.
In this study, the devices with widest variation in 9fs
curves were paralleled in the circuit shown in Figure
6-29. Individual source resistances of 3.3 n were chosen
as a good compromise between a stable a-point and the
lower system gain are poorer efficiency attributable to an
increase in RS. Table 5 establishes the equations for 9fs
and small signal voltage gain of paralleled MOSFETs with
and without source resistors.
Figure 6-30 shows the results of pairing the devices
with the widest mismatch in 9fs curves. Note how the drain
currents can be predicted by relating the 9fs curves
(Figure 6-31) to the instantaneous gate voltage. Case
temperatures were also monitored, but the difference was
not as great as expected. While the device that carried
the most current ran hotter, it did so by only a couple of
degrees (83 versus 85°C). A difference of 5 to 1Q°C was
expected but did not materialize, most likely due to slight
variations in the heat sinks. The MOSFETs were mounted
on separate heat sinks, again to simulate a worst case

Paralleling MOSFETs in the Linear Mode
In many applications using MOSFETs in the linear
mode, the quest is to obtain large swings in the load
voltage and utilize as much of the maximum drain-tosource voltage rating as possible. With a large quiescent
drain voltage, loa must be fairly small to keep the
MOSFET power dissipation within manageable levels.
Unfortunately, paralleling in the linear mode at a low
loa and a high Vosa is not as straightforward as paralleling in switching applications, for instance. Since this
is the most difficult and most common case of paralleling
in the linear mode, it is the one that is addressed here.
One problem is that at low currents the potential 10

rents is mainly due to a small difference in 9fs curves at
a TJ of 100°C. The case tei1Jperatures of these two devices were essentially identical. The 20 n gate resistors
in Figure 6-29 serve an important function. The high input
impedance and high frequency capabilities of the
MOSFET present the possibility of self-induced oscillations in paralleled devices. Inserting small resistances in
series with each gate defuses the problem by degrading
the Q of the LC network formed by the gate-and-drain
inductances and the MOSFETs gate-to-drain capacitance. The magnitude of RS necessary to allow troublefree operation depends on the value of each of the circuit
parasitics. The circuit in Figure 6-29 oscillated with series
gate resistances of 10 n, but stabilized with 20 n. Increasing RS results in a more stable circuit at the expense
of lower bandwidth.

6-34. The test circuit (a complete schematic is shown in
Figure 11-19 of Chapter 11) was duty cycle controlled to
produce a continuous load current; thus, the com mutated
diode current indicated both the reverse recovery time trr
and turn-on time ton. The individual and total diode currents, as well as the driver drain current, were monitored.
To obtain some indication of a worst case condition, a
modest sample (20 pieces) of MTM20N15s were characterized for parameters that affect their paralleled performance. The forward on-voltage of the diodes at 10 A
ranged from 1.05 to 1.20 volts, and trr varied from 0.25
to 0.32 f.LS. Devices with the widest mismatch in parameters were grouped and tested in the circuit shown in Figure

Testing indicated that current mismatches were small,
even in devices with the greatest difference in D-S diode
on-voltage. Figure 6-35 shows the current waveforms of
three paralleled diodes and the expected mild mismatch.
Also shown is a representation of ITOTAL, which is somewhat distorted due to the saturation of the current transformer that was used.
Current waveforms of devices with the widest variation
in trr are shown in Figure 6-36. Again, even though the
diodes are mismatched, the synchronized turn-on and
turn-off transitions illustrate the high degree of current
sharing that Occurs as the load current is com mutated

Drain-ta-Source Diodes
The previous text on paralleling power MOSFETs has
shown the effects of parameter matching (or unmatching)
on the degree of current sharing when the FETs are operating in either switching or linear applications. However,
it has not described the effects on the paralleled drainsource diodes when these diodes are used as clamp or
free-wheeling diodes in practical applications. These
diodes can be used in multi-MOSFET switching applications (see Chapter 11 on characterizing D-S Diodes) when
the. diode switching speeds are commensurate with the
application. In a half bridge, as an example, the diode of
one FET prOtf;lcts the drain-source of the second FET and,
conversely, the diode of the second FET protects the first
FET. Whatever the circuit configuration, the equivalent
circuit reduces to that of a clamped inductive load,
whereby the drain-source diode is effectively across the
load inductance (Fi~ure 6-33).
When power MOSFETs are paralleled in switching applications, the question arises as to how well their intrinsic
diodes share the clamped current. To determine this, three

MOSFETs serve this function extremely well, but they are
presently limited in current capability. However, they can
be readily paralleled to increase the current, without using
current sharing ballast resistors, due to the inherent positive temperature coefficient of the drain-source ON-resistance rOSlon)' For example, if the transconductance
9fs of the FETs are unmatched, the FET with the highest
9fs would tend to take initially the largest drain current,
but due to the greater dissipation (l o2 rOS (on)) and resuiting temperature rise, rOS(on) would increase, thus, selflimiting the current. This process tends to. equalize the
drain currents of the respective devices.

as the output power switch to achieve the system capability of 150 A of peak, pulsed current. The FETs used
were unmatched TO-220 MTP5N4O(2.7 V < Vr.C:Uth) <

3.9 V) with 400 V blocking capability BVdss, 5.0 A continuous drain current rating (10 A pulsed) and specified
rOS(on) of 1.0 {1 max. The TO-220 devices lend themselves to efficient circuit layout and packaging (Figure
6-37).
The particular application for which this circuit was designed required the DUT to be referenced to ground (drain
circuit); consequently, the switch is powered with a negative, high voltage supply (- Vss) tied to the FETs
sources. Thus, .the ground referenced pulse generator
output must be level translated to this negative supply.
For fast switching, this translator must have the current
drive capability for quickly charging the power MOSFETs
input capacitances Ciss and reverse transfer capacitance
Crss . To accomplish this, two P-Channel MTP2P45's are
configured as a parallel connected, series switch. These
FETs are turned on by the. negative going input pulse
derived from a 50 V, 10 ns rise time pulse generator. A

about 1.0 JLS (Figure 6-41 a) due to the time required to
discharge the FET's capacitances.
With the clamp, this time can be substantially reduced
(0.2 JLS) as shown in the photos of Figures 6-41b and
6-41c, the capacitance discharge limiting resistance RD
being 10 nand 5.0 n respectively. As this resistor value
is decreased, the FETwili turn-off faster, but consequently
be subjected to greater switching perturbations (Figure
6-40, RD = 0). Thus! the turn-off characteristics can be
somewhat tailored to the requirements.
Care. should be exercised in the layout of the fifteen
parallel FET's, especially with the gate-source drive circuitry. The fifteen FET's are mounted side-by-side with
the gates and sources tied to their two respective, parallel
run busses (Figure 6-37). Device lead lengths should be
made as short as possible and Ute source buss should
be RF by-passed at several points along its length to
minimize reactive effects.
Obtaining high power resistive loads with low inductance is a problem. For a pulsed current of 150 A and a
low resistance of about 0.93 n, the peak power would be
about 21 kW. Obviously, the dutv cvcle has to be very low

voltage capability of the FETs (to 400 V), but the passive
circuit elements should be scaled up accDrdingly.
To improve the turn-off switching times of the power
switch, the FET capacitance must be quickly discharged.
This is accomplished by the N-channel FET clamp 018
which, when turned on, supplies the .reverse gate voltage
to the power switch through the voltage storing effect of
C3 across R3. FET Q18 is turned on coincident with the
trailing edge of the input pulse by means of the differentiating network C1-R1, the derived positive-going pulse
supplying the gate-drive and duration for the clamp action.
The complete pulse-width voltage and current waveforms are shown in Figure 6-38 with the time expanded
turn-on and turn-off waveforms shown in Figures 6-39 and

6-40.
For these test conditions (VSS = -160 V, R1 "" 0.93 n),
approximately 150 A at 140 V (21 kW peak) was switched
in extremely fast times; the voltage turn-on time was less
than 10 ns and the current rise time being circuit inductance limited to about 250 ns.
Without the turn-off clamp circuit of 018 the drain voltage (and resistive load drain current) turn-off time was

for this application to avoid overheating the load resistor.
This resistor was fashioned with 216,200 n, 2.0 W, metal
oxide resistors sandwiched in parallel. This resulted in a
load resistor of approximately 430 W capability. Therefore,
duty cycles of less than 1.0% should be used to ensure
operation within the load rating while still offering good
oscilloscope viewing.

time is required between the switching transistors to avoid
simultaneous conduction. The duration of the dead time
and the dv/dt of the reapplied blocking voltage can be
critical, especially for some power MOSFETs. This complementary switch, with dv/dt adjustment and control of
the dead time, can help determine the capability of power
FETs in circuits when the above conditions are important.

Fast, Complementary Power MOSFET
Switch

Circuit Configuration and Operation
Two CMOS Ouad 2 input NOR gates (MC14001) are
used for pulse generation and signal delay. Gates A 1 and
A2 are configured as an astable multivibrator (MV), clocking the respective delay and pulse width monostable
MV's. The turn-on pulse is frequency (R1) and width adjustable (R4) whose output feeds, in order, cascaded
bipolar transistors 05, 06, power FET 07 and the NChannel output switch OS.
Pulse delay (R2) and width control (R3) for the PChannel switch (04) are obtained with Gates 81, 82, 83
and 84 which drives two cascaded bipolar transistors 01 ,
02 and power FET 03.
Transistor 09 drives power FET 010 as an optional
clamp to turn-off OS rapidly by discharging gate capacitance through a low impedance path. Duration of the
clamp interval is dictated by the RC differentiating circuit
in the base of 09.
The complementary output FETs 04 and OS consist of
four P-Channel (MTPSP10's) in parallel and four NChannel (MTP20N10's) in parallel. A limiting resistor RD
is shown in the drain of OS but may be in the drain of 04
or in both drains. The external load may be a test rectifier

Many present day semiconductors require test circuits
that can supply large pulsed currents and fast voltage
transitions.
In today's real world circuits, rectifiers are vital components in motor controls and in switching power supplies
as the operating frequency and power level increases.
Rectifier characteristics and selection can be critical for
these applications.
Due to its fast switching speed, the complementary
power FET switch, shown in Figure 6-42, is useful in measuring forward (tfr) and reverse (trr) recovery times of fast
recovery rectifiers, as well as for general uses requiring
a complementary power signal.
The internal collector-emitter diode in power Darlington
transistors and the drain-source diode in power FETs can
be of great interest to the circuit designer. Rectifier operation is dependent on several conditions, two of which
are the turn-off rate (di/dt) of forward current and the rate
of rise (dv/dt) of the reapplied blocking Voltage.
In some switching power supplies, a designed-in dead

The negative output switch 08 (N-Channel) is capable of
switching at least 100 A, whereas the positive switch 04
(P-Channel) is limited to about 50 A due to the differences
in the respective on-resistances. Additional devices can

trailing edges (about 3.0 ~ and 1.0 /Ls, respectively).
Figure 6-43b shows the same switched voltages but with
the clamp transistor (010) switched on. This discharges
08 gates through a low impedance path and speeds up
the trailing edge of the negative voltage to about 25 ns
instead of 3.0 ~.
In Figure 6-45, a MR821 fast recovery rectififer is shown
as the load, with IFM = 40 A, di/dt = 300 AI~, and the
dv/dt of the applied blocking voltage about 2500 V/~.
Adjustment of dv/dt is accomplished with R5 for the
positive switched voltage and with R6 for the negative

Figure 6-44 shows the transition time of about 35 ns
between the negative and positive voltages, with both the
clamp on and with 04 diverting current from 08.

Chapter 7: TMOS Applications
100 kHz Switcher
,Power FETs have proven themSelves' to be performance competitive and cost effective in flyback regulators
operating at 100kHz to 200 kHz.
The circuit described here proves the pOint: It is a
60 W 100kHz FET switcher with four output voltages
± 5.0 V and ± 12 V. It operates from 120 Vac, has an
efficiency of 75% and the total parts cost is approximately

of ripple occurs' at the outputs.' Power loss is less
than 0.5W.

Circuit DeSign
The goal of mostloW~power flyback deSigns is for reduced parts count (or size) and reduced cost. The 60 W
100 kHz switcher shown schematically in Figure 7-1, met
these requirements. At 100 kHz, the transformer size and
cost are, reduced by about 30% compared with a 20 kHz
design. Also, at 100 kHz, a FET can be driven directly
from logic circuits (100 to 200 mAl and still switch very
efficiently. This ,eliminates the need for drive interface circuits. The output caps used are' about 50% small,er and
they cost less as well. Finally, a relatively new three-chip
control system is used. It replaces an expensive and performance limited drive transformer with a lower-cost
optocoupler.
The FET is the control element for the flyback transformer and is directly driven from the MC34000 linear IC.
A rather standard off line starter circuit is used to initially
power the control circuit and this is also lower in cost than
the filament transformer supply which is often used to
power a single-chip system. The design procedure followed here was:

$35.
Components unique to this high frequency design include the following:'
• Motorola's MTP5N40 power FET. This 5.0 A, 400 V
device has only one ohm of on-resistance and is
driven directly from a linear IC. It not only switches
in less than 50 ns but has enough RBSOA to eiiminate the need for snubbers.
• Pulse Engineering's PE63133 power transformer.
This is a continuous mode flyback transformer which
is ideally suited to high frequency operation. Zener
clamps are not, required because the clamp winding
is interleaved With primary halves. Regulation of the
auxiliary ®tputs is within ±,10% under varying con'
ditions of line an~ loaq.
• Motorola's MC34060 Switchmode controllC, 4N27
optocoupler, and, MC1723 linear regulator. These devices are used in apractical demonstration of a lowcost, threecchip control system. The MC1723 is the
error amplifier, the MC34060 is a fixed frequency
PWM, and the AN27 couples the feedback signal
from the MC1723 to the MC34060.,

1. Design and test the power stage.
2.Add and stabilize the control loop.
3. Change from de to ac power.
The FET waveforms obtained with the design are
shown in Figure 7-2. The exceptional switching speed of
the FET can be varified here (less than 50 ns) and ringing
on the current waveform is due to the layout which includes a current-sense loop and noise pickup on the
scope probe.
The input capacitor does not reduce in size like the
outputs because it is needed for energy storage which
still occurs at 60 .Hz. Noise filters used here include a
toroid from PE and the economical 41 GS series of tan-

• Motorola's MBR1 035 (TO-220) Schottky rectifier was
used to rectify the + 5.0 V output at h£:!lf the cost of
a comparable 00-4. Similar cost savings resuit from
using the TO-220 fast recovery rectifiers, i.e., the
MUR805 in the ± 12 V outputs.
• Mepco/Electra's 3428 series of output capacitors.
These high frequency electrolytics feature iow ESR
and highRMS current ratings: Only 50 to 70 mV (PP)

t-igure 7-3. The first chip is an MC1723 linear regulator.
It is used here to provide a 5.0 V reference and an error
amplifier. It is powered from the + 12 V output winding
and receives feedback or control signal from the + 5.0 V
output. The MC1723 drives the second chip, a 4N27 optocoupler. The coupler maintains isolation between the
primary and secondary windings and couples the dc control signal to the input of the third chip, a MC34060. The
MC34060 performs a fixed frequency pulse width modulator (PWM) function and is used to directly drive the
FET power switch which is connected to the primary or
energy storage winding.
The key regulating blocks are the 0 to 3.0 V sawtooth
oscillator and the feedback comparator. As the feedback
Signal is raised from 0 to 3.0 V, it gradually narrows the
on time of output pulse coming from the comparator. During start up, the feedback is missing and resistor divider
network controls the second or dead-time comparator to
ensure that on time cannot exceed 45%. This, and the
soft start capacitor, prevents transformer saturation problems during start-up. Pull down of the gate voltage is
accomplished as shown in Figure 7-3 with the addition of
a low cost TO-92 PNP transistor (03). In this design, the
MC34060 is started off line with the addition of a 200 V
transistor (02) and 12 V zener as shown in Figure 7-4. It
ultimately (at normal line voltage) runs off the 12 V auxiliary winding which back biases this transistor. Because
it and the FET gate draw so little current from the line,
about 20 mA, undervoltage inhibiting common to bipolar
designs was not required here and this current becomes
functional and runs safely when the input reaches 40 Vac.
The performance of this 100 kHz switcher is similar to
most others. It is relatively easy to keep output ripple, both

talum capacitor from M/E. The 12 V output rectifiers were
Motorola's MURB05 ultrafast recovery button rectifiers
which are housed in a TO-220 package. They were ideally
suited to this relatively high current (10-15 A peak) application because the correct amount of heat sinking was
easily attained by simply bolting a fin to the tab.
The relatively new MBR1035 TO-220 Schottky rectifier
is the best choice for rectifying the 5.0 V output. It is about
half the cost of the equivalent 00-4 version, a 1N6095.
The overall efficiency of this regulator (including the
control circuits) is 75%. As usual, most of the losses are
associated with the power handling components as noted
in Table 1.

transistor, the drive circuit is greatly simplified as illustrated in Figure 7-7. Now the MC34060 control circuit is
capable of directly driving the FET, eliminating the complex base drive circuitry required for the bipolar. The end
result is that the FET can be substituted for the bipolar
by removing five components and changing one resistor
value. Thus, the FET SUbstitution, results in a reduced
components count.
Performance wise, the FET is the better choice, with a
considerably improved crossover time, Figure 7-8, and a
case temperature rise of only 18°C.

60 Hz and 100 kHz, below 100 mV on all outputs. (See
Table 2.) Line regulation here was excellent, less than
0.1%, but load reg (2.0%) could have been better. Normally tight layouts and higher loop gain can get this down
to 0.1 to 0.5% as well. Efficiency (75%) and cross regulation (± 10%) are also similar to other multiple output
switcher designs.

In the previous example, FET drive circuitry was maximally simplified. The penalty for this simplification is that
tum-on gate-source voltage, applied across a relatively
low gate-source resistor, draws approximately as much
drive power as a bipolar would. This example illustrates
how the FET's low drive power requirements can be used
advantageously. The circuit, shown in Figure 7-9, is a 25
watt DC-DC converter that is designed for automotive use.
It uses the same control IC as the' previous example. The
significant difference is the addition of Q1, 03, & 06 to
the drive. loop. This arrangement provides a low impedance loop for fast tum-off, while drawing a negligible
amount of current from the IC after the FET is turned-on.
The FET and this circuit work well together. Efficiency
was measured at 78% with Vin at 13.6 volts, load regulation at O.4%/Amp., and line regulation at O.Ol%lvolt.
In general, the comparatively low rDS(on) of FETs with
100 V (or less) ratings makes the FET a particularly good
choice for this type of application.

20 kHz Switcher,
A less novel 20 kHz flyback switcher provides a good
illustration of the interchangeability of FETs and bipolar
transistors. The 35 watt supply shown in Figure 7-5 was
originally designed around the MJE13005 bipolar output
transistor. With the bipolar, crossover time and case temperature rise were measured with Vin at 160 Vdc and
outputs fully loaded.
A view of the crossover waveforms is shown in Figure
7-7. At the full load case temperature of 71°C, the
MJE13005 is turning on in a crossover time of slightly
under one microsecond, (46°C case temperature rise),

Figure 7-10c. This transistor has breakdown voltage ratings VCEO(sus) and VCEV of 800 V and 1400 V, respectively, and a continuous collector current of 10 A. But,
most important, it has a reverse bias safe operating area
(RBSOA) curve, shown in Figure 7-11a, which allows a
peak flyback voltage of about 700 V, generated by a peak

To achieve this RBSOA capability an off-bias voltage,

The advantages of power MOSFETs over bipolars high input impedance (low drive power), fast switching,
freedom from second breakdown - have been cited
many times and can clearly be shown when the two technologies are used in the same application. Such is the
case when a HV flyback converter, initially deSigned with
a bipolar, was redesigned for the power MOSFET.
The first design used a Switchmode high-voltage bipolar
MJ8S0S output transistor in a PWM flyback converter,

is a trade-off of ~ with high-voltage transistors (~min =
7.S at IC = 1.S A), a low forced beta ~F of about 2.S (lBI
= 1.S A) was chosen to ensure device saturation. To
produce clean, monotonic, relatively fast clamped inductive turn-off waveforms, the Baker Clamp network of
diodes (02-04) is suggested. Consequently, a power amplifier consisting of an IBI forward base current circuit
(transistors 01 and 02) and an off-bias circuit (transistors

03 and Q4) is required to interface the low level PWM
with the MJ8S0S. The PWM (Ul), for this example, need
only provide a + S.O V pulse to the power Amp with about
20 mA sourcing and sinking capability.
If, however, the output device is a comparably rated
power MOSFET, MTM2N90 the drive circuitry can be
greatly simplified, with the resulting savings in cost and
improved reliability. Moreover, the faster switching

MOSFET improves system efficiency and as subsequently described. greater RBSOA or turn-off switching
SOA is achieved (see Figure 7-11 for comparison of the
MTM2N90 with the MJB505).
The PWM can be any of the 15 V powered I.C.'s with
source and sink capability in the 100 mA range. This current level is amendable to driving power MOSFETs at a
relatively fast switching speed. the current sourcing.
charging up the FET input capacitance Ciss and the sinking. discharging the capaCitance for fast turn-off switching.
Also. the near 15 V PWM output ensures that the FET is
well turned on.
This is exactly what was done for the second version
of the high voltage Switchmode power supply; the PWM
directly drives the FET gate. Using a single N-channel.
high-voltage TMOS MTM2N90 transistor (VBR(OSS) =
900 V. 10 = 2.0 A). a high-voltage output of 750 V peak.
capable of driving a 60 k load was achieved. With the
illustrated load inductor L 1 and switching frequency. the
peak drain current was about 2.5 A (limited by the magnetic saturation of the inductor) and the flyback voltage
was about 750 V.
Atlhough this current exceeds the continuous 2.0 A
drain current rating of the device. it is well within the
7.0 A pulsed current rating. But. of even greater interest.
since the FET has no second breakdown limitations as do bipolars - it can sustain simultaneous high switching voltages and currents. Thus. the 750 V. 2.5 A load
line is well within the SOA rating.
To produce even higher output power levels. two parallel connected power MOSFETs can be driven. as illustrated in Figure 7-10b. USing a larger inductor L2. the
circuit .was capable of easily producing an BOO V output
into a 30 k load. The total peak drain current was 3.5 A
with each driver sharing current inversely proportional to
its rOS(on): I.e.• matchedon~resistance of 5.0 n produced
about equal values of 10 of 1.75 A. unmatched 5.0 and
B.O
about 2.1 A and 1.4 A respectively. Reducing the
load resistance even further. resulted in greater power
output. with the individual device drain current being well
within spec limits. as shown in Table 3:

And finally. to make a direct comparison between the
two devices. the loads and ',ne stored energy inductor
should be the same. Since the bipolar originally was tested
with the larger inductor and a 30 k load to produce as
great as a 700 V output from a peak collector current of
3.2 A. the single TMOS was also tested to these conditions. Not only did the power MOSFET reach this energy
level. it also reached BOO V at 3.6 A. To achieve the
required inductor stored energy and power output for this
application. the switching frequency was about 1.7 kHz.
Even at this low frequency. the relatively high static losses
[VOS(on) = rOS(on) 10 = B.O n (max) (3.2 A) "" 25 V]
contributed little to the total device loss.
Admittedly. power MOSFETs are still more expensive
than a comparably die sized bipolar. but. as progression
along the learning curve is achieved. the FET will become
more cost competitive. Nevertheless. it has been shown
that the single power FET circuit is much simpler and cost
effective to drive in this example than the bipolar and offers
the second breakdown free rectangular SOA curve that
allows full VSR(OSS). 10 switching capabilities.

non-specialist is becoming increasingly easy due to the
availability of power devices and control ICs especially
developed for this purpose by the semiconductor manufacturer.

Motor Controls

motor magnets try to align producing torque. A Simplified
representation of a stepping motor is shown in Figure
7-16. Initially, Poles A and B are both energized With north
up, drawing the rotor's south pole to the up position. Reversing the polarity of Pole A draws the rotor 90° clockwise
to its final position; this is known as a full step. If pole A
had been turned off instead of reverSed; the rotor would
have rotated only 45° clockwise to line up with the field
created by Pole B; this is known asa half step. Stepping
motors obtain small angle step increments by using large
numbers of poles. Stator pole reversal can be accomplished by reversing the current flow direction in the winding or by using alternate halves of a center-tapped
winding. .
An external block diagram of a center-tapped stepping
motor plus control switches, inductive clamp diodes, resistive current limiting and power supply is shown in Figure
7-17. Pole A, for instance, can be energized to one polarity
by turning Switch 1 on and Switch 2 off; the opposite
polarity is generated by turning Switch 1 off and Switch
2 on.
It follows that the proper magnetic polarity sequence
for stepping can be generated by contrOlling Switches
1-4. Clamp diodes prevent the voltage across the inductive winding from flying up and destroying the switches
as they are turned off. The required switching sequences
for full and half step operation are shown in Figure 7-18.
Reversing the sequences of Figure 7-18 will reverse the
direction of motor rotation.
Rapid stepping requires high dildt in the motor windings.
Since di/dt is a function of supply voltage, a high supply
voltage is desirable. The average winding current is limited by the motor manufacturer's specification. As an example, Superior Electric's SLO-SYN model M093-FC07
has a current rating of 3.5 amps/winding with 1.23 0/
winding resistance and 7.94 mH/winding inductance. The
recommended power supply is 24 volts; currents are limited to the maximum rating by a 6.5 0, 100 W resistor/
winding. This yields a dc current of about 3.0 A and an
UR time constant of 1.0 ms. Higher supply voltages and

Power MOSFETs are interesting devices for motor drive
applications. The advantages and disadvantages are similar to those discussed for switching power supplies. With.
motor drives, however, there is more of a distinction.
Whereas FETs are not yet a match for bipolar Darlingtons
in off-line multiple horsepower drives, they are an excellent choice for fractional horsepower drives and drives
that are operated off busses less than 100 V.
Three examples are illustrated. They include a stepping
motor drive, a high efficiency H bridge, and a onetransistor PM motor speed control.

Using Power MOSFETs in Stepping
Motor Control
Stepping motors are used extenSively in electromechanical positioning systems. Applications range from
printers to tape drivers, floppy disk drives, numerically
controlled machinery and other digitally controlled POSItioning systems. The task of the stepping motor controller
is to drive the rotation generating sequential current flows
in the field winding of the motor on command from an
external device.
The use of TMOS Power MOSFETs and CMOS logic
simplifies the drive circuitry while allowing considerable
flexibility of control. This section describes several types
of stepping motor control circuits including an 88.0% efficient switching drive. Stepping motor logic sequencing,
power requirements and dynamiCS are briefly examined.
DRIVE TECHNIQUES
Stepping Motor Characteristics
A basic understanding of stepping motors is desirable.
A permanent magnet stepping motor consists of a series
of permanent magnets distributed radially on a rotor shaft
surrounded by electromagnets attached to the stationary
housing. Energizing the electromagnets with the proper
polarities generates a magnetic field pattern to which the

the resulting larger current limiting resistor will decrease
UR and increase the obtainable stepping rate.
Depending on rotor inertia, torque requirements and
winding currents, a stepping motor may exhibit oscillatory
behavior including vibration, lost steps and/or stalling near
self-resonant stepping frequencies. Oscillatory behavior
may be lessened or eliminated by adjusting winding currents, by adjusting interial and/or torque loading or by the
use of mechanical dampers.

winding drive sections plus the complete control logic is
shown in Figure 7-21. The total drive consists of four
N-Channel and four P-Channel TMOS Power FETs arranged in two push-pull drives per winding (the M093FC07 center tap leads were floated, inductance/full winding = 31.76 ,..H, resistance/full winding = 2.46 nand
rated current = 2.0 amps/winding).
Phasing signals are obtained with the shift register technique described earlier. The circuit of Figure 7-21 will provide a full or half step sequence as clocked into the two
CMOS shift registers during a preset (a full step only controller can be implemented with one 4-bit CMOS shift register). Gate signals for the N-Channel FETs are taken
directly from the CMOS registers. Gate signals for the
P-Channel FETs are translated and referenced to the motor power rail through 09-Q10.
Sufficient capacitance across the sources of the bridge
FETs must be used to limit P-Channel gate-source voltage
transients to below the pass frequency of the collector
resistor and the P-Channel gate capacitance. During
switching transients, it is possible that both FETs in a given
complementary pair could briefly be on at once. This condition could short power to ground through the complementary pair. To avoid exceeding peak drain current rating, the gate-drive on the P-Channel FET is restricted to
10 V.
TMOS Power FETs are constructed with internal
source-to-drain diodes. The circuit of Figure 7-21 uses
these diodes to shunt turn-off transient currents from the
ground plane to the power rail; thus, a given FET is protected from winding turn-off energy by the source-drain
diode of its complement. The source-drain diode, how-

A Full Step Center-Tapped Drive
Figure.7 -19 illustrates a full step center-tapped stepping
motor controller using one CMOS 4-bit presettable shift
register to drive four N-Channel TMOS Power FETs. Examining the full-step sequence of Figure 7-18, shows that
the sequences for the various gate signals are the same
except for a phase shift. Therefore, the desired control
sequence of two on-time periods followed by two off-time
periods may be preset into the 4-bit shift register
(MC14194) of Figure 7-19. The required phasings are
obtained by tapping the appropriate shift register outputs.
Clockwise stepping is obtained by right shifting the
MC14194; left shifting yields counterclockwise stepping.
Control signals SO and S1 plus a clock line control stepping. On power-up, the MC14194 requires a preset obtained by setting SO, S1 = 1,1 and supplying a leading
edge clock; this puts the logic in a known state. The remainder of the control functions are illustrated in the control table of Figure 7-19; stepping occurs in a leading edge
clock. Diodes 1-4 prevent the inductive turn-off spike from
avalanching the TMOS Power FETs. Resistor R3 creates
a back voltage which halts winding current rapidly on turnoff. R3 is selected to limit the voltage spike to the TMOS
S-D voltage rating. TMOS power FETs.switch extremely
fast, and the turn-on delay of the diodes may not be short
enough to prevent S-D avalanche. A small capacitor (0.01
to 0.1 ,..F) placed across the motor winding will usually
lower dv/dt sufficiently to prevent S-D avalanche. Resistors R1 and R2 limit motor winding currents.

Figure 7-20 illustrates a full or half step controller. As
in the full step sequence, the gate control signals for the
half step sequence are identical except for a phase shift.
Similarly, the desired pattern of three on-time periods followed by five off-time periods can be preset on a leading
edge clock into an eight-bit shift register formed by two
MC14194's. The full step sequence can be generated by
setting the half step line high and performing a preset.
Right shifting and left shifting control the motor shaft's
direction of rotation as before. A full step will be executed
for every two riSing clock pulses independent of stepping
sequence. Diodes D1-D4 and resistor R3 form the overvoltage protection for the TMOS Power FETs. R1 and R2

ever, requires about 300 ns of turn-on time. A 0.1·p,F
capacitor is placed across each winding so that the windings dv/dt is low enough to allow for diode turn~on without
avalanching the FETs. Winding currents are limited by the
9,0 ohm 5.0 watt resistors.

for left to right current flow is 1,0. This turns the upper left
P-Channel and the lower right N-Channel on placing the
full power supply across the motor winding. Current 11
increases with di/dt = V/L. When 11 increases to 2.0
amps, the voltage across the lower right 0.1 sensing resistor will be 0.2 volts, and the lower right comparator will
go low after a short filter delay shutting off the upper left
P-Channel FET. The current through the motor winding
begins to decay around the I2 current path.
When the comparator went low, i1shifted its positive
input reference down by about 70 mY. 12 decays until the
voltage across the 0.1 sense resistor falls below the hysteresis determined level; at that pOint, the comparator will
go high turning on the upper left P-Channel FET and
recharging the winding current along the 11 current path.
The winding current within the C1, C2 control envelope
increases to the reference level and oscillates. around that
level at a value set by RH, Rref and the logic supply
voltage. The frequency of oscillation is set by V/L, the
hysteresis value and the current path resistances.
The circuit of Figure 7-22 places a negative voltage on

Switched Current Limiting
The circuit of Figure 7-21 uses resistive current limiting.
With 2.0 amps flowing in each winding, 4.0 amps will be
drawn off of the 24 volt supply yielding 96 watts of draw
with only 25% of that power being delivered to the motor.
Some form of switched current limiting is clearly desirable.
Figure 7-22 illustrates a simple switching scheme.
Starting with zero current flow, let the desired current
flow be left to right through the motor winding. Let the
referenced voltage Vref be 0.2 volts. Assuming RH > >
Rref, the positive comparator inputs will be approximately
0.2 volts. With no current flow, the sense resistors will
have no voltage across them and the comparators will
have high outputs; this enables the C1 and C2 inputs to
drive the P-Channel Power FETs. The proper C1, C2 input

the negative input terminal of the comparators during the
12 current path. This is not detrimental to the comparator
provided that the terminal current doesn't exceed a few
milliamps.
The complete logic circuit plus one of two required winding drive sections for a push-pull stepping motor with
switched current limiting is shown in Figure 7-23. Figure
7-24 is the corresponding parts list for the complete circuit.
The circuit of Figure 7-23 is limited to 8.0 amps continuous
with a motor power supply voltage of about 70 volts by
the specified P-Channel TMOS Power FETs. Thus, the
controller can handle up to 560 watts delivered to each
winding. Changes in RH, Rref and the sensing resistor
may be desirable for motors other than the example motor.
For low inductance motors driven from high voltage supplies with low levels of hysteresis, faster components in
the switched feedback loop may be required.

delivered to the M093-FC07. Calculations indicated that
greater than 50.0% of the control circuit power consumption was due to the SoD diode drop during the 12 current
loop (Figure 7-22). This drop could be lowered byoperating the lower N-Channel Power FETs as synchronous
rectifiers. The additional logic required for synchronous
rectification amounts to three CMOS integrated circuits.
A complete logic circuit plus one of the two required winding drive sections is shown in Figure 7-25. Essentially, the
lower N-Channel is turned on when the upper complementary P-Channel is turned off by the comparator or
when the N-Channel control signal is high. The circuit of
Figure 7-25 yielded 88.4% efficiency at 2.0 amps/winding.

Further Possibilities
Shaping of the applied current waveform is often desirable. If a large stepping torque followed by a low holding
torque is desired, the required current waveform can be
applied to the positive comparator input. Within the comparator hysteresis and the circuit's current response
speed, the current in the motor will follow the comparator
reference. The dildt circuit response Is limited byapproximately Vmotor supply/Lmotor, provided that the series
resistance drops only a few percent of the supply Voltage.
If current is allowed to decay without applying a reverse
supply voltage, current decay time will be set by the
Lmotor/Rdecay loop time constant.
In summary, the switching circuit of Figure 7-23 yields
79.0% efficiency at 2.0 amps/winding with faster current
response than the 25.0% efficient resistive current limited
circuit of Figure 7-20. Adding three CMOS integrated circuits to the circuit of Figure 7-23 yields the 88.0% efficient
circuit of Figure 7-25. The use of TMOS Power FETs and
CMOS logiC in the designs of Figures 7-23 and 7-25 allowed high efficiency and considerable control flexibility
to be achieved without excessive parts count or undue
complexity.

Utilizing Synchronous Rectification
The circuit of Figure 7-23 required 26.4 watts to maintain 2.0 amps/winding with 78.8% of the drawn power

H. Bridge Performance Comparisons
Power MOSFETs are excellent candidates for low voltage H Bridges. In this example, MOSFETs are compared
with two other popular alternatives, bipolar discretes and
bipolar Darlingtons. Circuits were designed for all three
types of output power devices, Each circuit design is optimized for the output device used.
GENERAL "H" SWITCH DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS:
• P.M. DC Motor, 2.0 A run, 15 A stall/start.
• 12 V protected bus, 32 V max peak, 14 V nominal.
• "H" switch input, 2.0 mA max sink requirement.
• Discrete driver stages (for comparison of designs).
• Maximum ambient temperature of 100·C, maximum
junction temperature = 150°C.
• Off the shelf type output power devices using maximum data sheet limits to calculate drive requirements and forward "on" voltage levels. The power
output devices were chosen such that die sizes for
the three types are approximately equal.

Discrete Bipolar "H" Switch
TIP35 and TIP36 power transistors were selected for
their low cost and high current capacity. The high currentgain specification for these units results in base drive requirement of 1.5 amperes to switch a 15-ampere load
current. It may be that base drive can be reduced by 30
percent if the units are screened for high-current hfe, but
for this design comparison, only "off-the-shelf" standard
devices with the regular data-sheet specifications are under consideration.
The bipolar "H" switch design requires medium size
driver transistors and large-wattage voltage-dropping resistors in the base-drive. circuit. A buffer stage is also
required. The control lines are shown tied to a SPOT
center off switch. In an actual circuit, this switch would be
a logic array or a microcontroller output network. A protective counter-EMF voltage clamp is provided by the
back-to-back Zener rectifiers. The Darlington and TMOS
units have built-in clamp diodes and for many applications
would not require the zeners. Capacitor and resistor snubbing networks may be required with all three types output
devices.
As indicated in the performance table, the bipolar design is not very practical because of the large base drive
requirement. Of the three power devices, it is the least
efficient by a wide margin. In most situations, FETs or
Darlingtons are a better choice,

doubling networks.

Motorola MJ4030 and MJ4033 power TO-204 (TO-3)
Darlingtons were chosen for the Darlington version of the
H bridge. As the chart shows, the drive-power requirements are substantially reduced from the bipolar power
design. The tradeoff is that the forward "on" voltage is
raised to such a high level that this particular motor will
no longer be within its terminal voltage specification during
stall or start-up. Also, the Darlington's dissipation will require a larger heat sink than the bipolar design. The Darlington does provide internal clamp diodes.
The Darlington "H" switch design works best in highvoltage, low-current load control circuits where the Darlington's high saturation power loss is not significant.

Test Measurement Calculations
The following equations were used to determine the
circuit performance values for this example.

Since the die size falls somewhat shy of the bipolar and

the conduction loss calculation. Actual VDS(on) measurements were scaled according to the area ratio in order
to arrive at the numbers presented here. As the comparison chart reveals, the TMOS design is clearly superior
to the bipolar and Darlington designs. Its only technical
drawback is the 34 volt bias supply requirement. This

MOSFETs Improve Motor-Drive Efficiency

The Darlington tranSistors, sense the motor's counter
EMF (via the 20 V snubber zeners that become forward
biased when the motor's back EMF appears) and shunt
the drive-reversal signal to ground until the back EMF
decays. The transistors will hold the gate-drive line low
until the counter EMF drops below the base-to-emitter
threshold voltage. This action causes the circuit to wait
until the motor nearly stops rotating before applying reverse Voltage. If faster response times are needed, the
Darlingtons can be eliminated while connecting the 1.0
MO base resistors to ground - this change, however,
would necessitate higher current MOSFETs because of
the large peak-reversal currents that would ensue.
Figure 7-30 shows the dramatic difference in the peak
currents that occur with and without the back-EMFsensing feature. With the sensing circuit disabled (a), the
currents exceed 50 A; the resulting MOSFET dissipation
is approximately 140 W. Enabling the circuit (b) reduces
the currents to approximately 30 A and the MOSFETs'
dissipation to about 14 W. A 16 V zener diode limits the

By using power MOSFETs in Figure 7-29b's circuit,
fractional-horsepower motors can be driven bidirectionally
with only a small percentage'of the base-drive power that
bipolars require. Moreover, by sensing the motor's back
EMF and delaying drive-voltage reversal, the circuit
reduces the peak currents encountered during motor
reversal. This feature allows theus'i! of lower current
MOSFETs than an instantaneous-reversal method would
dictate.
A basic H switch, Figure 7-29a reverses the motor's
supply voltage for bidirectional control. In Figure 7-29b's
circuit, two pairs of N-channel MOSFETs serve as the,CW
(clockwise) and CCW (counterclockwise) switches. A
flyback-type dc/dc inverter, composed of a CMOS hex
inverter and a small signal MOSFET, drives the FET
switches. The 3-inverter oscillator operates at 240 kHz;
the three remaining inverter's average output tracks the
power-supply input, ensuring adequate gate-bias voltage
even for input-supply voltages as low as 6.0 V.

modulated control with a minimum number of components. The key feature is direct drive of the power FET
from a CMOS control IC. The result is a control system
with minimized parts count.
The control system is based upon the MC14528B dual
monostable multivibrator. One-half of the monostable is
connected in an astable mode, producing a pulse oscillator. The remaining half is then used as a one-shot, with
its adjustable pulse-width determining the duty cycle and,
therefore, motor speed.
In addition to its simplicity, the circuit of Figure 7-31 is
notable for its low standby power drain. The combination
CMOS control and TMOS power gives a very low quiescent current drain that is desirable in battery operated
applications.

Other Applications of Power MOSFETs
HORIZONTAL DEFLECTION CIRCUITS
Power MOSFETs can be a good alternative to bipolars
in high resolutiOn CRT sweep circuits. The most obvious
advantage is simpiicity. However, MOSFET horizontal
outputs also offer significant benefits in terms of increased
reliability and faster switching times.
Drive simplification with the MOSFET is even more significant than in the preceeding switching power supply
examples. In most cases, a base-drive transformer is eliminated, as well. as di/dt wave shaping networks.
The reliability issue is a little more complex, and relates
to differences in SOA characteristics. It is normal design
practice to exceed bipolar collector-emitter breakdown ratings during the retrace pulse transition. This is permissible
if the base-emitter voltage is held negative during the
retrace period. If, however, a positive noise pulse occurs
during the retrace period, the bipolar base-emitter junction
can become forward biased when collector-emitter voltage is greater than VCEO(sus)' The bipolar's safe operating area is then violated, creating a substantial risk of
failure. MOSFETs, on the other hand, will handle this type
of stress quite readily, since their FBSOA capability extends beyond peak retrace voltage. Therefore, increased
reliability with the MOSFET horizontal output is directly
related to the probability of noise occurring in the drive
circuitry.
Speed is also an important issue. At a 30 kHz scan
rate, 1.0 JLS of bipolar storage-time delay represents 3%
of the horizontal line period, or a loss of 30 lines of data
in a field of 1024 lines. In addition, bipolar storage time
is not a fixed constant, but changes from device to device
and with temperature. A horizontal phase locked loop can

be added to compensate for the storage-time delays in
the horizontal output stage. The active video data time
may also be cut back, accordingly, to allow for internal
horizontal timing delay.
Based upon these considerations, effective use of the
bipolar transistor at high scan frequencies requires a complex base drive Circuit, custom selection of the bipolar
device for minimum storage-time variation, and an accurate phase locked loop to compensate for saturation
time delays. Power MOSFETs, on the other hand, can be
driven from a CMOS IC, do not require critical parameter
screening, exhibit minimal turn-off delay, and do not require a phase locked loop for correcting device-induced
timing errors.
DeSign Example
The power MOSFET, until recently, could not handle
much current at voltages above 500 V. Recent technology
developments have pushed this limit up to the 1000 V
range with increased current ratings. Therefore, a power
MOSFET can now be selected for computer CRT display
systems with power supply requirements ranging from
12 V to 75 V.
The standard horizontal raster scan system is used in
this design. That is, the horizontal yoke and flyback transfOrmer are both switched by one output device. It should
be pOinted out that the power MOSFET has been switched
up to 120 kHz scan rates, but due to other device constraints, the CRT anode high voltage network's performance is very marginal at this high frequency rate. Even
a scan frequency of 30 kHz is pushing the limits of the
high-voltage rectifier and associated components.

The design concept is shown in the block diagram of
Figure 7-32. The horizontal drive signal can be supplied
by a free running synchronous clocked oscillator or by
extemal computer logic. The safest method is to use a
free running synchronous oscillator to insure the horizontal frequency is held within safe limits. There are several
horizontal processor linear integrated circuits containing
a phase detector, oscillator and predriver available. A partiallist includes SGS TDA1180 and Motorola MC1391.
None of these devices are presently designed to drive a
MOSFET power unit directly; so some type of an interface
or buffer circuit is required. Three power MOSFET drive
circuits are shown in Figure 7-33. These circuits perform
adequately in the horizontal system described here.

Essentially, the prime requirement for driving the power
MOSFET for this horizontal scan output design is to insure
sufficient gate on-voltage and low enough impedance for
a fast turn-off transition. Since the power MOSFET has a
high gate input impedance, the gate voltage requirement
is easily met, with little wasted power. The off transition
requires that the power MOSFET's internal 1000 pF gate
capacitance be discharged very quickly. This is accomplished by using a single hex inverter IC, with all the gates
wired in parallel. As mentioned before, other devices can
be used to drive the MOSFET. The CMOS inverter was
chosen to show that CMOS technology is sufficient to
drive the MOSFET.
The system described above provides excellent performance. The gate-drive voltage of the power MOSFET
was purposely pulsed during the peak retrace drain voltage pulse to simulate destructive transients due to anomalies such as arcing.
It was found that a controlled drain-to-source current
occurred, with no catastrophic failures, as long as the total
power dissipation was held within the limits of the power
FET's safe operating area ratings. Figure 7-34 shows the
waveforms associated with the retrace pulse test. Since
the MOSFET is a high input impedance device, it is important to insure the gate of the power MOSFET is at a
low impedance during the retrace period. The gate should
not be driven negative, to minimize the possibility of voltage spikes causing gate avalanche. The gate cannot withstand an avalanche condition of any measurable current
intenSity and survive. Since the power MOSFET device
selected for this design exhibits at least a 2.0 volt threshold, a negative gate-drive is not important.

Circuit Description
The design presented in Figure 7-34 eliminates the
driver transformer, driver transistor, and associated passive components that would normally be found in a bipolar
design. A MLM311 comparator is used to invert and levelshift the incoming positive going synchronous pulse. The
comparator output is ac coupled to the MC1391 horizontal
processor which consists of a phase comparator and voltage controlled oscillator with adjustable duty cycle. The
phase comparator of the MC1391 is connected to the
incoming conditioned horizontal synchronous pulse and
the output of the MC1391 's internal oscillator. An error
voltage is applied to the oscillator timing control voltage
to lock in the external synchronous pulse and the oscillator. The duty cycle of the MC1391 oscillator output is
set to provide a 63% "ON" time to the power MOSFET
gate.

speed.
Yet a third possible solution - paralleling fast, lowcurrent transistors- presents two problems: current sharing and physical layout.
The MOSFET driver circuit in Figure 7-36 uses two
N-channel devices with positive and negative polarities.
Fast transitions are possible, even when a low-voltage
source is used. The circuit returns to 0 V between pulses,
an important feature when driving high-power Darlington
transistors with base-bias resistors and speed-up diodes.
In· this case, excessive hEiating would otherwise occur
during the off-time interval.
Small size, simple configuration, and· minimum component count join with ease of operation to make this driver
circuit very useful for applications in variable-frequency
switched-mode power supplies, and inverters.
In operation, a single-polarity, negative-going pulse
from a pulse generator is applied to the input. The pulse,
whose width can vary anywhere from 5.0 JLS to 3.0 ms,
turns on PNP predriver transistors Q2. for the positivepolarity output.

FAST HIGH-CURRENT MOSFET DRIVER
A totem-pole MOSFET driver circuit shines when highcurrent, fast-transition pulses must be generated from lowvoltage sources. ItsMOSFETs sidestep a number of problems that their bipolar counterparts present in the same
circuit.
High-speed transistors and high-current transistors intended for PWM applications have created a need for
high-current, fast-drive circuits. Transistors that demand
20 to 35 A of reverse base current for rapid turn-off and
can be driven by as little as 5.0 V of off-voltage are a
common requirement. Bipolar devices switch in nanoseconds but are limited to 5.0 to 10 A when driven from lowvoltage collector supplies. With higher current capability,
such transistors require power transistors as drivers and,

for about 10 p,S and then returns to zero, completing a
single cycle.
The circuit can be used with FETs by replacing Rb with
a short and the positive and negative voltages applied to
the devices' gates. For controlled gate-impedance drive,
resistors can be inserted in series with the gates. Similarly,
a resistor added in series with the base of the bipolar
transistor results in controlled base-current drive.

The GEMFET Control

A New Option for Power

pier and more efficient. Oarlingtons also simplify drive
requirements, but on-VOltage is compromised in doing so.
.So~etimes MOSFETs are used in low frequency applications because of their simple gate-drive requirements. In many low frequency, high voltage circuits, replacement of the MOSFET with a GEMFET improves
efficiency or reduces the cost of the switch. Because their
structures and gate-drive considerations are so similar
the change usually entails no significant circuit modifi:
cations. Substitution of a GEMFET with approximately the
same die area dramatically improves on-state efficiency
and current ratings.
If cost is a major concern, another option is to replace
the power MOSFET with a GEMFET that has a smaller
die area. The result can be a device with a similar current
rating and comparable on-state losses. Except at higher
frequencies, the cost/performance tradeoffs are substantially in favor of the GEMFET.
The GEMFET is suitable for high current, high voltage,
low frequ~ncy applications because of its low forward drop
and relatively long turn-off time. Appropriate applications
for the GEMFET include motor drive circuits, automotive
switches, programmable controllers, robotics, home appliances, machine tools, etc.

The ~orld of f:lOwer switching is constantly searching
for the Ideal sWitch. Such a switch would have infinite
resistance in the off-state, zero resistance in the on-state
instantaneous switching times, and require zero input
power to operate. In a real switching application, one must
choose the device that most closely approximates the
ideal switch for that particular application. The choice involves considerations such as voltage, current, switching
frequency, drive circuitry, inductive loads, temperature effects, etc. Every switching device has its strong pOints
and weak points and the designer is always forced to
make trade-offs to find the best switch for a given situation.
For a solid state switch, the three characteristics that
are most desirable are fast switching speeds, simple drive
requirements and low on-state losses. In low voltage applications, the new generations of power MOSFETs have
very low on-resistance and closely model the ideal switch.
But in high voltage devices, comparatively high onresistance still limits the MOSFETs efficiency. Furthermore, future advances in decreasing rOS(on) will become
more difficult as on-resistances fall closer to the theoretical minimum, which is determined by the optimum cell
geometry and the resistivity of the N-epi layer. Therefore,
subsequent I.arge r~ductions in rOS(on) of high voltage
MOSFETs will require new technologies.
The GEMFET (gain Enhanced MOSFET) is the result
o! one such technological advance. It is a relatively new
high voltage power semiconductor device with a combination of characteristics previously unavailable to the designer of power circuitry. Closely related to the power
MOSFET in structure, this new device has forward voltage
?rop ~mparable to bipolars while maintaining the high
Input Impedance and fast turn-on associated with the isolated gate of the MOSFET. Although turn-on speeds are
very fast, current fall times of approximately 4.0 ,."S are
quite slow, and may restrict the use of at least the first
~eneration of these devices to lower frequency applications.
At switching frequencies below about 10kHz, however,
the GEMFET is an attractive alternative to the more traditional bipolars, power MOSFETsand thyristors. Compared to a standard thyristor, the GEMFET is faster and
has a higher input impedance, better dv/dt immunity and,
above all, gate turn-off capability. While some thyristors,
e.g. GTOs, can be turned off at the gate, this requires
substantial reverse gate-drive current, whereas, turning
off the GEMFET requires only that the gate capacitance
be discha!ged. On the other hand, thyristors generally
have a slightly lower forward drop and a higher surge
current rating than a comparable GEMFET.
In a comparison of drive requirements;, the GEMFET
clearly outperforms bipolar transistors. In a 10 A application, for instance, the bipolar requires 2.0 A of base
drive (assuming a beta of 5.0) while the GEMFET requires
only nanoamperes of gate current to remain in the "on"
s!ate. Without the large base"drive current required by the
bipolar, the GEMFET gate-drive circuit can be much sim-

DEVICE STRUCTURE
The GEMFET is very similar to the double-diffused
power MOSFET. Simply by varying starting materials and
by altering certain process steps, a GEMFET may be
produced from a power MOSFET mask set. Figure 8-1
Illustrates that the two structures are identical except for
the P + layer adjacent to the drain metalization. Additional
current carriers in the form of holes are injected from the
P + substrate into the normally high resistivity N-epi layer
and markedly reduce the on-voltage. The resulting four
layer structure (P-N-P-N) allows current densities much
greater than those attainable in power MOSFETs and
comparable to those of bipolars.
Like the power MOSFET, the gate of the GEMFET is
electrically isolated from the rest of the chip by a thin layer
?f Si02. Accordingly, the GEMFET is also a high input
Impedance device and exhibits the associated advantages of modest gate-drive requirements and excellent
gate-drive efficiencies. The uniqueness of the GEMFET
is that low on-voltages as well as high input impedances
are now available in high voltage power semiconductors.
The symbols and equivalent circuits of the GEMFET
and MOSFET are shown in Figure 8-2. Because of its
four layer structure, the GEMFET lacks the parasitic drainsource diode common to nearly all power MOSFETs.

currents. Except at excessive drain currents or junction
temperatures, the NPN device is considered to be a parasitic and does not influence circuit operation.
The output characteristics of a popular power MOSFET
(MTP4N50) and a GEMFET (MGP20N50) of identical die
dimensions and similar breakdown voltages are shown in
Figures 8-3a and 8-3b. The two major differences between the curves are:
1 -

The GEMFET has a much lower on-resistance at
currents greater than 2.0 A.

2 -

Before the GEMFET can conduct current, the P-N
junction formed by the P + substrate and the
N-epi layer must be forward biased. Consequently, the GEMFET curves a,re offset from the
origin by a diode drop, similar to SCRs or DarIIngtons.
Figure 8-4 indicates that at 25°C the 20 A, 500 V
MGP20N50 gives no hint of a propensity to latch at currents up to 62 A, which is much larger than the pulsed
current rating of the MOSFET.

Even though MOSFETs are championed fortheir simple
gate-drive requirements, at high operating frequencies
sizable peak gate currents must be supplied to ensure
rapid switching. Since this first generation GEMFET is, by
comparison, much slower, the gate drive-impedance can
be fairly high without affecting tum-off speeds. In the circuit shown in Figure 8-6, RG was varied from 0 to 1.0 kll,
but the current fall time essentially remained constant at

Switching Speeds
Presently, the feature that limits the GEMFET from serving a very wide range of applications is its relatively slow
turn-off speed. While turn-on is fairly rapid, current fall
times at turn-off can exceed 4.0 pS.
The tum-off of the GEMFET is rather slow because
many minority carriers are stored in the N-epi region.
When the gate is initially brought below threshold, the
N-epi contains a very large concentration of electrons,
consequently, there will be significant electron injection
into the P + substrate and a corresponding hole current
into N-epi.
As the electron concentration in the N-region decreases, the electron injection decreases, leaving the rest
of the holes and electrons to recombine. The tum-off of
the GEMFET should then have two phases: the injection
phase where the drain current falls very quickly; and a
recombination phase where the drain current decreases
more slowly. Figure 8-5 shows the clamped inductive turnoff waveforms of the MGP20N50.
Although tum-off speeds are not impressive, this is the
first generation of these devices and improvements in
switching speeds can be expected. For GEMFETs, there
is an rOS(on) - switching speed trade-off. Theoretically,
tum-off times can be decreased without large increases
in rOS(on) by controlling carrier lifetimes or by other Proprietary methods.

Comparison of On-State Losses
The most pronounced advantage of the GEMFET over
the power MOSFET is its lower on-resistance. The
VOS(on) of a high voltage MOSFET is fairly large and
rises with increasing junction temperature and drain current. Conversely, the VOS(on) of a GEMFET decreases
with increasing TJ and is not greatly affected by '0. Figure
8-7 compares the on-voltages of the two technologies at
various drain currents and at a TJ of 25°C and 100°C.
Since the MOSFET does not have the GEMFET's offset
voltage in its output characteristics, at low currents the
MOSFET on-voltage is slightly lower. However, as the
illustration suggests, at high currents and temperatures
the difference is dramatic. For comparison, a bipolar transistor was also included in Figure 8-7. Its on-VOltage is a
function of the transistor'S high current beta and the magnitude of the base current.
On-state efficiencies are not solely determined by onvoltages. Gate or base-drive currents are also contributing
factors. Its high input impedance allows the GEMFET to
rival the on-state efficiency of the bipolar transistor, even
though its on-voltages are comparable to those of SCRs
(one diode drop in addition to a bipolar saturation voltage).
The bipolar device chosen for this comparison had a
forced beta so low (about 5) at the desired collector current
that the base current losses were important.

To illustrate the variation in the on·state efficiencies of
each technolOgy, a biPolar transistor, MOSFET and
GEMFET were used as the switching element in an open
loop PWM dc motor control circuit. The bipolar
(MJEl3007) was a 156 x 156 mil chip rated at 8.0 A, 400
volts. The 20 A, SOO volt GEMFET (MGM20NSO) and the
4.0 A,500 volt MOSFET (MTP4N50) had areas equivalent
to a die size of 150 x 150 mil. To keep switching losses
to a minimum, the frequency waS held constant at about
90 Hz as the duty cycle was varied from 9% to 71 %. Since
a motor is a nonlinear load and conditions such as motor
speed and back EMF change with pulse width, the results

of the comparison (Table 2 and Figure 8·8) should be
carefully interpreted.
The "relative power out" referred to in Table 2 is simply
a measurement proportional, to the motor speed and is
inversely related to the saturatio!,!. voltage. If the on·
voltage is high, the potential across the motor is dimin·
ished and the speed is decreased. The "relative power
in," a measure of forward base (or gate) current, is useful
for comparing the required base or gate power necessary
to control a five ampere load.
The following generalizations can be drawn from Table
2 and Figure 8·8:

Switching Losses
The present maximum operating frequency of the
GEMFET is limited by its turn-off speed. Oefining a specific upper limit could be misleading because the frequency limitation depends on heat sinking, drain current,
drain supply voltage, gate-drive impedance, and drainsource flyback voltage. To set a benchmark for a specific
set of conditions, the following test circuit and procedure
was developed to compare the switching efficiencies of a
GEMFET (MGP20N50), MOSFET (MTP4N50), and bipolar (MJEI3007).
In the test procedure, the independent variable was
switching frequency, which was varied by changing the
timing capacitor CI in the test circuit shown in Figure 8-9.
By adjusting potentiometer AI and by properly sizing the
inductive load, the load current waveform was fixed to a
25% duty cycle and a peak of 5.0 A.
For the MJEI3007, the forced beta of 5.0 required a
base current of 1.0 A. Tum-off of all three types of devices
was initiated by clamping the base (or gate) to - 5.0 volts.
The oscillograms in Figure 8-10 show the drain (or collector) current and drain-source (or collector-emitter) voltage of each device at 7.0 kHz.
Again, the test results were quite predictable, and the
case temperature versus frequency for this specific case
is plotted in Figure 8~ II. The efficiency of the heat sink,
in this instance a 4112" x 4'12" x Va" copper plate (AOCA =
5°CfW), markedly influences the temperature rise results.
A larger or smaller heat sink would have decreased, or
increased, the noted temperature differences. The testing
was restricted to lower frequencies because above 40 kHz

polar's low beta, the case temperature and power
dissipation closely track the relative power in.
2, The bipolar invariably results in the highest motor
speed for a given pulse width because its saturation
voltage is always lowest.
3. For the MOSFET, high on-resistance, especially at
higher currents and temperatures, influences the
performance. As the duty cycle decreases, the motor
speed and back EMF also decline. With the lower
back EMF, the effective motor voltage is higher, allowing higher currents. The increasing current and
on-reSistance combine to elevate the case temperature at low duty cycles.
4. The case temperature of the GEMFET remains aimost unchanged as conditions vary. Unlike the bipolar, its input power is very small and does not
significantly affect the power dissipation at high duty
cycles. At lower duty cycles and higher currents, the
GEMFET on-VOltage is much lower than the
MOSFET's. Again, the result is cooler case temperatures.
While the GEMFET looks quite respectable in this comparison, the peak current chosen influences the relative
efficiencies. If the motor supply voltage had been increased to obtain larger peak currents, the comparison
would have been even more in favor of the GEMFET. The
MOSFET would have performed more poorly due to its
IO-rOS(on) relationship, and the bipolar's base drive
losses, due to forced betas' less than 5.0, would further
reduce its efficiencies at large pulse widths.

secondary effects began to influence and distort the comparison.
The GEMFET switching losses rose rapidly with frequency, illustrating its high-frequency limitations. By comparison, the bipolar's case temperature increased only
slightly while the MOSFET proved its high frequency capability with virtually no case temperature rise.

the MTP4N50 and the MGP20N50 were both typically
O.67°CIW. This suggests that the two methods are in fairly
close agreement and that the thermal resistances of a
MOSFET and GEMFET of equal die area are essentially
the same.

Safe Operating Areas
Important ratings of any solid state switching element
are its Safe Operating Areas. For the GEMFET, these
include its Forward Biased SOA, orFBSOA, and R~verse
Biased SOA, or RBSOA. Since non-destructive fixtures
were used to determine both of these SOA limitations, an
entire curve could be drawn with each device tested. With
this capability, device trends readily became apparent.
Figure 8-12 shows the dc FBSOA limits of an MTP5N40
and an MGP20N50. Even though the curves are quite
similar, at either end there are significant differences. At
high voltages and low currents, the GEMFET's curve begins to roll off somewhat like the curve of a bipolar that
is approaching a second breakdown limitation. This is not
surprising since the parasitic PNP bipolar is instrumental
in sustaining its unique mode of current conduction.
At the low voltage, high current portion of the FBSOA
curve, the effect of rOS(on) is evidenced in two different
ways. First, at very low drain-source voltages, rOSlon)
can limit 10. This is simply a manifestation of Ohm's Law
and does not indicate a stress-related limit. As Figure 8-12
suggests, the wide difference in on-resistances between
MOSFET and GEMFET is reflected in the rOS(on) limit

Thermal Resistance, R8JC
As expected, GEMFETs and power MOSFETs produced from the same mask set have very similar junctionto-case thermal resistances. RruC of a power MOSFET
can be determined by testing for variations in one of the
following temperature sensitive parameters, or TSPs:
1. Drain-source diode on-voltage
2. Gate-source threshold voltage
3. Drain-source on-resistance
All previous thermal resistance testing of the TMOS
power MOSFET was based on the temperature dependence of the on-voltage of its drain-source diode. For the
MTP4N50, the results were typically about 0.79°CIW. Because the GEMFET has no parasitic diode, this method
was inappropriate for the MGP20N50. Instead, RruC of
the GEMFET was determined by using a second circuit
that detects variations in the gate-source threshold voltage due to changes in TJ. Before testing the GEMFET,
correlation between the two test methods was obtained
by comparing the results of testing the MOSFET in each
circuit. By testing for variations in VGS(th), the RruC of

As for the GEMFET, special RBSOA considerations are
necessary to ensure optimum reliability. Junction temperature and turn-off speed are especially noteworthy parameters since they can dramatically alter the GEMFET
RBSOA capability. With all other conditions fixed, an increase in TJ can lessen the reverse-biased safe operating
area if the drain current is high. At turnoff, lower gatedrive impedances are also more stressful, as explained
below.
Figures 8-13 and 8-14 outline the operating limits of
typical MGM20N50 (20 A, 500 V GEMFET in a TO-2D4
(TO-3) Package). The figures are typical of the devices
used in this evaluation and do not represent a guaranteed
RBSOA rating. A more thorough evaluation is being conducted to provide guaranteed curves for the data sheet.
The gate-drive circuit used (Figure 8-15) allows adjustment of the gate-drive output impedance at turn-off simply
by varying RGS.
To generate each "fail" point, a resistor, drain current
and temperature were selected, then the magnitude of the
clamp voltage was increased until the device either dissipated the coil's energy in avalanche or entered second
breakdown. If the test device experienced a rapid collapse
of its drain-source voltage (which is characteristic of second breakdown), the non-destruct fixture rapidly (150 ns)
removed energy from the OUT before its die suffered damage.
Interestingly, the failure mechanism is not simply power
related, i.e., slower switching speeds and greater crossover times tend to increase its RBSOA. This is clearly
shown in the turn-off waveforms of Figures 8-16a and
8-16b. Even though the device enjoys lower switching
losses with an RGS of 51 n, its RBSOA is lessened. This
phenomena may be due to a very rapid MOSFET turnoff that places a dv/dt stress on the PNP bipolar.
If the GEMFET is turned off more slowly, the MOSFET

of their respective FBSOA curves. Second, a lower onresistance also increases a device's peak-current rating
by virtue of its more efficient current conduction. This limit
is stress related and also is illustrated for both devices in
Figure 8-12.
An RBSOA rating details the maximum drain-current
and drain-source voltage stress allowable during clamped
inductive turn-off. If a device undergoes second breakdown at some combination of VOS and 10 that is within
its pulsed power dissipation capability, an RBSOA derating curve is in order. In essence, an RBSOA derating
indicates that a device may fail due to localized hotspotting
even though its average junction temperature is within its
TJ(max) rating. Second breakdown of the MOSFET only
occurs when its maximum junction temperature is exceeded. Therefore, operation of the MOSFET is only limited by its TJ(max), 10M and VOSS ratings.

When the tranSistor - whether it be a Darlington, GEMFET, or Power MOSFET - turns on, the primary current
ramps up to 3.0 to 7.0 A (6.0 A peak for this exercise).
Altum-off, the inductive kick, or flyback voltage, is allowed
to rise as high as practical to produce the very high transformer secondary voltages (20 kV) required to generate
a spark. In the present systems that employ high voltage
Darlingtons, voltage is often clamped to about 400 V by
a zener placed from collector. to base. As soon as the
collector-base voltage exceeds the nominal zener voltage,
the zener supplies the base current to. the Darlington,
turning it on and thus clamping VCE to VZ. In this mode
the zener carries only a small fraction of the load current
and its power dissipation rating can be sized accordingly
(a collector-emitter zener must carry the full peak primary
current). On the other hand, the transistor is acting as its
own voltage clamp and must dissipate the energy contained in the inductive kick.
When a GEMFET is used in place of a Darlington, the
same clamping scheme can be used. If the zener is placed
across the drain and gate terminals, any zener avalanche
current soon changes the GEMFET's input.capacitance
and initiates turn-on. With this clamping method, the GEMFET experiences the same high power dissipation interval
as the Darlington. One additional component is needed
in the GEMFET version of the clamp. A diode in series
with the zener is needed to block any current that would
otherwise flow if the gate were more positive than the
drain [high VGS, low VDsI.
Since the GEMFET performed very well in this evaluation, the question arises as to the applicability of the
power MOSFET in this same circuit. Again the comparison
is of the MGM20N50 and the MTM4N50, which are a
GEMFET and a MOSFET of identical die size. The first
consideration is that a peak drain current of 6.0 A exceeds
the MOSFET's 4.0 A continuous rating. This in itself is
not a problem, but thermal limitations are possible at
higher duty cycles and elevated case temperatures.
Although the greatest stress on the switch occurs during
the clamping of the inductive kick and generation of the
spark, that clamping interval does not necessarily contribute more to the average power dissipation than does
the interval in which the switch is on and current ramps
up in the primary. This is especially true of the power
MOSFET due to its high rDS(on).

carries a greater portion of the load current and lessens
the strain on the bipolar during this critical portion of the
switching cycle.
The GEMFET is poised to alter the options available to
power circuit designers. While its slow turn-off speeds limit
its potential applications at this point, the GEMFET's low
rDS(on) and high input impedance make it the technology
of choice for many applications requiring low frequency
switching.

An Application of the GEMFET
An ideal example of a GEMFET application would highlight its three strongest features. It would require a switch
with high blocking voltage capability, a large current rating
and simple drive requirements. The switching element in
an automotive electronic ignition control system is one of
many such applications in which the GEMFET deserves
consideration as an alternative to the switches currently
in use.
Presently, high voltage Darlingtons are the most commonly used switch in automotive ignition systems. The
advantage of using a GEMFET as its replacement is the
elimination of the Darlington's base drive circuitry. Since
the required switching frequency is below 1.0 kHz, the
GEMFET's high input impedance and low drive requirements make it ideally suited to be driven directly from
CMOS logic.

of the high input impedance and fast turn-on of a power
MOSFET and the regenerative, latching action of a thyristor. Consequently, a new device symbol had to be created, one that combines the features of both technologies,
as proposed by the symbol in Figure 8-18, i.e., SCR with
FET gate.
The MOS SCR was developed from the vertical structured TMOS where the substrate doping was changed
from N + material to P +. Thus, a four layer structure
evolved (PNPN), creating the two-transistor analogue of
an SCR controlled by an N-Channel MOSFET. This evolution is illustrated in Figure 8-19 whereby the power
MOSFET symbol progresses through the various equiv·
alent circuits to the final MOS SCR configuration. Note
that Figure 8-19d contains the PNP transistor 01 and the
MOS parasitic NPN transistor 02 of the SCR equivalent
circuit and also that the MOSFET 03 shunts transistor
02.
Switching action starts by turning on FET 03 with a
positive gate-cathode (source) voltage VGT (or VGS(on))'
The resulting drain current is the base current of 01 which
turns on this PNP transistor. As in a normal SCR, the
collector current of 01 supplies the base current to 02
and if adequate loop gain exists [(a1 + a2»1)j, regeneration will occur, latching the device. The gate signal can
then be removed and the device will remain latched until
the principal current falls below the hold current - that
current which satisfies the loop gain criteria.
Due to the MOSFET input, the device exhibits the characteristics of the basic power MOSFET, that is, high input
impedance and fast turn-on. And, because of this high,
static input impedance, the MOS SCR can be readily
driven by standard CMOS logic.
Even though a power MOSFET has an extremely high
static input impedance, in order for the device to switch
in the tens of nanosecond range, the gate input capacitance must be quickly charged (or discharged during turnoff). The gate-source and gate-drain capacitance (and its

The difference between the rDS(onl of the MOSFET
and the GEMFET becomes evident dUring the monitoring
of the case temperatures. Under the same conditions (us·
ing a Thermalloy heat sink #60168), the GEMFET's TC
is 37°C, while the MOSFET's is 59°C, representing a
2.5 W difference in power dissipation. .
A second problem, again related to the MOSFET's
higher rDS(on), also complicates its use in an electronic
ignition contror system. Due to the limited battery potential,
especially during engine startup in very cold weather, the
rDS(on) of the switch must remain low so as not to limit
the peak current in the primary of the ignition coil. There·
fore, the 1.5 n maximum specification for the MTM4N50
is probably too high for this application. In this test the
"battery" voltage must be increased by about 30% to
achieve the same primary current that the GEMFET con·
ducted.
In addition to its higher on·state efficiency, the GEMFET
can also offer a cost advantage over the power MOSFET.
A large portion of a power transistor's cost is associated
with its die area. Since the GEMFET can operate at cur·
rent densities at least five times that of a high voltage
MOSFET, significant savings can result from using a
GEMFET with a smaller die size.

Thus, the gate-driver must supply these sometimes high,

With this in mind, several CMOS gates were used,

gate-cathode R2 were proportionally scaled, e.g., R11 =
100, R21 = 1.0 k; R12 = 10 k, R22 = 100 k; R13 =
100 k, R23 = 1.0 M. The input pulse width was phase
delayed to the pOint just before the MOS SCR started to
regenerate. Figures 8-21 a, 8-21 band 8-21 c illustrate the
turn-on switching waveforms for the three gate impedance
cases, with the top trace describing the gate compliance
voltage (CMOS output), the middle trace, the gate-source
voltage and the bottom trace, the anoc;le-cathode voltage
just before the MOS SCR fires (latches). For comparison,
Figure 8-22 shows the anode-cathode voltage just before
firing (not enough delay in the input pulse) and just after
firing (input pulse delay increased slightly). Increasing the
pulse delay or increasing the pulse width resulted in the
same non-conduction angle (the point measured from
positive zero crossing to where the SCR fired).
Note that the magnitude of the anode-cathode voltage
near firing varied inversely with gate impedance, being
about 30 V, 15 V and 15 V (due to longer gate capacitance
discharge time) when R1 was 100 0, 10 k and 100 k
respectively. The results were opposite of what were expected: the lower the gate limiting impedance, the earlier
the SCR firing (lower non-conduction angle).
However, upon closer examination of the MOS SCR
equivalent circuit (Figure 8-19d), the cause of this effect
became apparent: FET Q3 shunts the NPN transistor Q2.
With low gate-drive impedance, Q3 turns on very hard
and thus offers a very low impedance shunt across Q2
(rOS(on) varies with gate-drive), effectively lowering the
beta of Q2. Consequently a higher anode voltage is required to satisfy the loop gain criteria. This is illustrated
in Figure 8-21c (R1 = 100 k) where VAK does not drop
as low as in Figure 8-21a (R1 = 1000).
The conclusion is that rather than have a larger charging
current capability, a lower one is more desirable. Second,
the lower current (larger gate-series resistance) is more
compatible with the output sourcing capability of standard
CMOS gates; the less current that is sourced, the higher
the CMOS high level output voltage will be due to the

.
However, the high gate impedance can create dv/dt
problems. As in any semiconductor, be it a FET, bipolar
or SCR, the junction capacitance (Cds in Figure 8-19b)
Can couple into the input circuit of the device a.capacitiVe
current when a fast, positive goirig step function of voliage
is. applied to .the output. If this current, or resulting voltage
is large e.nough, the device can be inadvertently turned
on: To minimize the dv/dt effect, the gate of the MOS SCR
should be terminated in an impedance (similar to the. gatecathode resistance of a sensitive gate SCR or gate-source
resistance 6f a power MOSFE:T).
The resistance bypasses the capacitive current from
the input of the device, the lower the resistance, the
greater the degree of shunting. Thus with lower resistance, the MOS SCR will have greater dv/dt immunity and
consequently higher blocking voltage capability. This effect is illustrated in the curve of Figure 8-23 whereby a
150 V step function with controlled dv/dt is applied to the
anode (through a limiting resistance) of the MOS SCA.
The gate-cathode resistance is varied and the maximum
dv/dt for that cQndition is noted. Typically, with a 1.0 k
resistqr, the device will block 150 V/p$ and a 10k resistor,
about 10 V/p$. The 1.0 k gate-cathode resistor will also
!'Insure peak forward blocking voltage VDRM of 600 V
peak, 60 Hz.
Thus, for. an optimum CMOS-MOS SCA drive circuit,
two inipedance conditions should be satisfied:

N-channel portion of the CMOS when its output is low
(MOS SCR is off) and the speed-up capacito~ produces
just enough gate current peaking to minimize MOS SCR
turn-on delay time when narrow input pulses are used
«5.011$). Using various combinations of resistor R (1,0 k

FIGURE 8-25 - SWITCHING CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MCR1000
WITH THE PREFERRED GATE-DRIVE CIRCUIT

APPLICATIONS OF THE MOS SCR
The following circuits illustrate the unique characteristics of the MOS SCA: high input impedance (low drive
power), fast turn-on, and latch capability.
DC Static Switch
When an SCA, MOS or bipolar, is used in a dc circuit,
some means is required to turn the device off. An example
of a dc application using the MOS SCR being turned off
is shown in Figure 8-26. For this illustration, the loads in
the respective anode circuits of the two MOS SCA's are
equal, resulting in a power flip-flop. They can be unequal,
if so required, with the lighter load simply being the commutating source. Assuming that MOS SCA (01) is initially
on, the commutating capacitor C will be charged through
AL2 and AS to the supply voltage VOA (minus the "on"
voltage VTM of 01); the capacitor is thus charged; negative on the left plate, positive on the right. When 02 is
then turned on, the right plate is pulled to near ground
and since the voltage across the capacitor cannot change
instantaneously, the left plate will consequently be pulled
below ground. This momentary reverse bias of the anode
of 01 commutates the device off. The com mutating cap~citor will now .start to charge up through ALI, producing
the exponentially rising voltage VOl (Figure 8-27). To ensure stable commutation, the time required to charge up
to zE;lro volts should be greater than the tq of the device.
In the example shown (ALI = AL2 = 50 ohms, C =
0.22/LF), the time was about 6.0 J.LS, satisfying the tq
requirements of the MOS SCA. The maximum operating
frequency is also dictated by the AC time constant, as the
capacitor should be near full charge before the next cycle
begins. The series resistor AS limits the initial capacitor
dump current as shown by the IA waveform of Figure 8-27.
A simple and inexpensive circuit for toggling the flipflop, one that uses a CMOS quad, 2 input NOA gate, is
shown in Figure 8-26. Gates Gl and G2 comprise an
astable multivibrator running at about 13 kHz with the duty
cycle being set by potentiometer AI.
Gate G2 provides the buffered drive to MOS SCA 01
and also the complementary drive through G4 to 02. Both
gate drivers are configured with the optimum circuit previously described. Thus, using MOS SCAs, a low drive
power, fast turn-on, power flip-flop was readily achieved.
AC Static Switches
Examples of how the MOS SCA can be used in ac
applications are shown in Figures 8-28 and 8-31. The first
circuit, an ac power switch (Figure 8-28), uses aMOS
SCA connected across the dc output of a rectifier bridge
to switch an output ac load. The bridge rectifies the input
ac, allowing the one MOS SCA to control both half-cycles
of the input signal. As in the other examples, the gate of
the MOS SCA is driven by a ground referenced CMOS
gate, which means the power circuit must be floating (the
alternative is to float the gate driver, and ground-reference
the ac circuit). For gate full-wave rectified applications,
the load should be placed in series with the MOS SCA
across the bridge dc output terminals. Examples of both
gated ac and full-wave rectified output waveforms are

2.0 kHz SIGNAL GATED BY 200 Hz

The two MOS SCRs are driven in push-pull using the
same CMOS drive circuits described in Figure 8-26. Consequently, when the ac input goes positive, and MOS SCR
01 is turned on, the signal will be condilcted to the load
through diode 02. In a like manner, the negative-going
signal will flow through 01 and 02. An example of the
output waveform that can be achieved is shown in Figure
8-32 where a 2.0 kHz input signal is gated by a 200 Hz
control signal.
All of ac switches described were powered by a signal
generator whose maximum peak output was 60 V into a
1.0 k load. This is not the power limitation of the circuit;
the limitations are the MOS SCR which for the MCR1 000
family is a VRRM of 100 V and an anode current IA of 15
ARMS.

able, large enough to drive the MOS SeR gate, but too
large to power the MF00405F fiber optics integrated deteelor/preamplifier (receiver) whose maximum VCC is 7.5 V.
This receiver has two complementary outputs, one at a
quiescent level of about 0.6 V and the second at 3.0 V.
By adding a 4.7 V zener in series with the return bus, the
effective. Vee becomes 5.3 V and also the 0.6 V output
level is translated up to about 5.3 V. This level is now
compatible with the reference input (5.9 V) of the singleended powered op-amp acting as a comparator.
Under no-signal conditions (fiber optic emitter deenergized), the receiver output is lower than the op-amp
reference and, consequently, the op-amp output is high,
turning on the MOS SeA. When the emitter is energized,
the receiver output goes more positive, exceeding the
reference to the op-amp and causing its output to switch
low to near ground. The reference voltage should be compatible with the fiber optic sensitivity; for this illustration,
pulsing the emitter with about 80 rnA and using a onemeter fiber length resulted in a receiver output pulse of
about 1.0 V. To ensure that the MOS SeR is cut-off, two
diodes (01 and 02) are placed in series with the gate.
Thus, by varying the duty cycle to the emitter, the MOS
SeR power controls the load on a multicycle, half-wave
basis, but it can also be used in phase-control applications. Diode 03 is used to block the peak negative half of
the ac input which would exceed the VRRM spec of 100
V. The load can be resistive, a light dimmer as an example,
or inductive. As with any thyristor inductive load, a snubber
.. network may be required to minimize the dv/dt effects of
that type of load.
CROWBAR

Another application which should serve the fast turnon capability of the MOS SeR is as a crowbar. Experimentation has shown that the device can dump an 8,000
J.l-F capacitor (simulating the output filter capacitor of a
linear power supply) charged to 20 V with 0.1 n currentlimiting resistance in the discharge path. The·end result
is peak-current pulse of about 140 A, decaying exponentially to its 10.0% value in about 3.5 ms. Related specifications of the MCR1000 family of MOS SCR's are: peak

In summary, the MOS SCR is a new device combining
the properties of power MOSFETs and SCRs high input
impedance, fast switching and latching action. It is easily
driven by low power logic - CMOS in this case - but
the driver can be any IC or circuit with pull-down (sinking)

capability. Gate current can be limited to tens of microamps, if required, but switching speed trade-off must
be made at these low currents. To ensure high blocking
voltage and dv/dt immunity, the gate cathode should be
terminated in a relative low impedance: A simple, inexpensive method of accomplishing this is to use the CMOS
low-level output and a reverse diode.

Other Semiconductor Power Switches
bipolars in all or many swithcing applications? The answer
is - it depends. Efficiency is a measure of diSSipation,
which, iri Switchmode circuits, consists primarily of switching losses, both turn-off and turn-on, and saturation
losses. Since switching losses are a function of the switching frequency and saturation losses are relatively constant, a point is reached in the frequency spectrum where
one loss predominates over the other. Thus, in low frequency applications, devices with low saturation or onvoltage would show lower losses as measured by the
device case temperature, and at high frequencies, the fast
switchers would run cooier. This applies to all types of
semiconductors, be they power MOSFETs, Bipolars, Darlingtons, GTO (Gate Turn Off) SCRs or a GEMFET (Gain
Enhanced MOSFET) (A standard SCR can also be used
wiith commutating circuitry; however, it is not included in
this evaluation due to the additional circuit reqUirements
and associated costs.)

The prime requisite of a power switch (semiconductor
or mechanical) is to transfer the maximum power to .the
load. A compilrison of the relative efficiencies of various
power semiconductor switches will be demonstrated with
three different switching loads: resistive, Inductive and a
dc motor.
There are four factors that contribute to the system
losses: input or driving power losses due to the input
current and/or voltage required to turn on the device; saturation or static losses when the device is ON (a product
of the on-VOltage and current); switching or dynamic
losses that result from the transition times when the device
Is turned ON and OFF; and off losses due to the product
of leakage current and the power supply voltage. Generally off losses are by far the least significant since modern semiconductors have low leakage currents and can
be ignored in system loss calculations.
The variation of input power losses can be substantial
for the various semiconductors. As an example, a high
voltage switching transistor would have relatively low current gain and, consequently, requires relatively high input
base current to turn it fully on whereas a MOSFET, with
its extremely high static input impedance, would require
very little input power to turn it on.
The output power losses are illustrated in Figure 9-1.
It is apparent that the switching losses, depending on the
switching frequency and transition times, can contribute
a large share of the total system losses. Thus, for high
frequency applications, where switching losses predomInate, fast switching devices should be used. Conversely,
for low switching frequency applications, low on or saturation losses are more important.
Power MOSFETs are recognized· as being extremely
fast switching devices, but are they more efficient than

FIGURE 9-1 - NORMAUZED SWITCHING WAVEFORMS
FOR A RESISTIVE LOAD

A simple way of measuring the relative efficiencies of
the OUTs, one that measures the total device losses, is
by measuring the case temperature. This is accomplished
by attaching a thermocouple to the mounting flange of a
TO-204 (TO-3) package or tab of a plastic (TO-220) package. The first evaluation was to compare the switching
efficiency of three high voltage switching transistors the 2N6545, one of the first transistors characterized for
Switchmode applications, called Switchmode I, (SMI); the
MJ16004, a state-of-the-art Switchmode III Transistor
(SMIII) designed for higher frequencies; and the Power
MOSFET MTM5N40. All these devices are of similar die
size and have similar ratings (Table 1). All were tested
with nearly identical loads and were driven by the same
test circuit, except that the forward input current (lB1) and
input resistance were scaled for the particular DUn. Reverse current or turn-off current was derived from the
same input clamp transistor switch and the magnitude of
this current (lB2) was dictated by the stored charge of the
device under test (DUn.
Since the input drive for both turn-on and turn-off can
be chosen to optimize the switching speed, the drives
selected were those generally shown on the data sheet;
i.e., forced gains of 5.0 and 7~O, respectively, for the
2N6545 and the MJ16004; off-bias voltages of -5.0 V
and - 2.0 V for the above; and a gate-drive of greater
than 10 V for the MTM5N40.
Resistive loads were chosen for the temperature riseversus-frequency test since the load current could be
maintained at a constant 2.5 A as the frequency was
varied. Recognizing that the "real world" load is usually
inductive and that inductive turn-off switching losses are
greater than turn-on due to the rectangular load line, a
single frequency (75 kHz) inductive test was also run. Due
to the different on-voltages and turn-off times for Bipolar
and MOSFET devices, the load inductances had to be
slightly different to achieve the same peak collector (drain)

der test is driven at a 33% duty cycle. However, at high
frequencies (low on times), DUTs with greater storage
times will effectively be powered for longer duty cycles
and therefore have greater saturation losses contributing
to the device temperature rise. As an example, at 150
kHz (period of 6.7 ILS) the 33% dc drive on-time of about
2.2 ILS would result in about 48% power on-time with only
1.0 I's of storage time.
The clocks for this system, one for the resistive load
case and the other for the inducutive load, consist of two
CMOS gate configured RC astable multivibrators. Switchable timing capacitors set the frequencies for the resistive
load at 5.0, 25, 75 and 150 kHz respectively; the inductive
load clock is set at a fixed frequency of 75 kHz. The output
of these MV's clock the MC14002 Octal Counter Divider
connected as a three-phase ring counter whose respective emitter-follower, positive-going outputs control the
three virtually identical drivers.
Forward base current for the bipolar transistors is set
by turning on the NPN transistors 02 and 07 and the
following PNP transistors 03 and 08. To minimize storage
time, 03 and Q8 are fashioned as constant-current generators, supplying the base currents to the 2N6545

Forward gate voltage for the powef MOSFET is generated
by turning on PNP transistor Q13 (Baker clamped to minimize ts) and thereby applying nearly the full 15 V rail<
voltage to the gate. The 15 ohm current limiting resistor
provides the low source impedance for quickly charging
(and thus switching) the MOSFET input capacitance Ciss.
Reverse bias voltage VBE(off) or VGS(off) for rapidly
turning off the OUTs, are derived· by differentiating the
input pulse with the resistor-capaCitor networks in the
base circuits of Q4, Q9.and Q14. The resulting negative
going pulses, which are coincident with the trailing edge
of the input pulse, then turns on the following respective
PNP transistors Q4, ·QS and Q13 for about 3.0 /LS. These
transistors then turn on NPN transistors Q5, 010 and Q15
whose emitters are referenced to a negative power supply; thus, the reverse bias voltages and resulting reverse
bias currents (IB2 for bipolars) are applied .to the OUT for
the 3.0 /LS immediately following the turn-on pulse. This
reverse bias voltage can then be varied to determine its
effect on switching speeds, power dissipation and case
temperature rise. For the following described temperature
tests the bias voltages were set for -2.0 V and -5.0 V

limited by the UR time constant (Figure 9-3) and thus
independent of input drive. However, the turn:offvoltage
and current switching times are affected by off-bias (Figure 9-4); :thus at optimum bias voltage, the switching
losses and therefore case temperature can be. minimized.
This is quite evident in the curves of Figure 9-5 showing
temperature rise versus frequency at two off·bias volt·
ages. All three devices showed slightly lower case tem·
peratLires (1.0 to 3.0°C) when the optimum off·bias was
used at the higher frequencies where switching losses
predominate.
The Power MOSFET also runs cooler at higher off-bias
voltage. This is due to the charged input capacitance Ciss
being discharged more quickly when clamped to a greater
negative voltage; thus the turn-off switching speeds are
improved.
As expected at low frequencies, where on losses predominate both the 2N6545 (SMI) and the MJ16004 (SMIII)
have temperature rises proportional to VCE(sat), both
being about 0.3 V at 2.5 A. The Power MOS transistor
(TMOS), with a typical on-resistance rOS(on) of about 0.9
ohm [1.0 ohm(max)] has an on-voltage of about 2.2 V at

2.S A, resulting in the higher case temperature. As the
frequency is increased, the extremely fast switching
MOSFET introduces lillie additional switching losses~ resutting in a relatively constant case temperature.
The first generation SMltransistor shows the expected
increasing temperature rise with increasing .frequencies
due to its relatively slow switching speed (the device was
designed for 20 kHz applications). By contrast, the Switchmode III Transistor, MJ16004, which was designed for
improved operation at higher frequencies with improved
reverse bias safe operating area," shows a much lower
case temperature rise; in fact, it typically operated cooler
than the Power MOSFET up to the 7S-100'kHz range.
The illustrated temperature rise curves were derived
with typical devices. Testing of about ten sets of devices
produced similar results, atthough in some cases the effects of off-bias were not as pronounced due to slight
differences in device processing, temperature measurement repeatability and accuracy, particularly where small
differences in temperature had to be determined.
Although the curves show defined temperatures, the
magnitude of the rise is only relative as it is obviously a
function of the size and efficiency of the heat sink chosen.

For this exercise, small heat sinks were chosen to raise
the case temperature for higher differential temperature
measurements. Secondly, the heat sinks (both the small
ones. for the OUTs and the large ones for the resistive
and inductive loads) were thermally isolated from each
other to minimize mutual thermal coupling effects; (the
OUT heat sinks were mounted on ceramic standoffs and
.the load sinks on plastic washers to reduce thermal conduction to the chassis and hence to each device).
The vertical temperature axis of Figure 9-S could have
been labeled Power Dissipation (PO), knowing the thermal
resistance ofthe heat sink (R8SA) used and the relationship between case temperature and thermal resistance

.For clamped inductive loads, the greatest switching dissipation generally occurs during turn-off where the device,
due to the rectangular load line, can be stressed simultaneously with both high current and voltage. The illustrated inductive loads simulate a flyback switching regu-

OUTs are Iurned on are transferred via their respective
clamp diodes to the resislor-capacitor load during turn-off

voltage was set for about 250 Vdc. The actual peak collector-Io-emitter voltage VCEM overshoot can be somewhat higher, being dependenl on the rale of collector current fall time Ifi' Ihe forward recovery time of the clamp
diode and the degree of proper RF layout (Figure g-7). It
is nol uncommon for this overshoot to exceed the clamp
supply voltage by 100 Volts.
An example of how reverse bias affects the swilching
speed, and thus efficiency, of the 2N6545 is shown in the
photos of Figure 9-7. Note the difference in ts , Ifj, VCEM

The average temperature rise measurements of the
three OUTs for the inductive load case (Table 2) illustrates
the effect of off-bias on device efficiency.
. A direct point-by-point comparison between the inductive load and resistive load tests at 75 kHz can't be made
since the respective load currents, and thus power dis. . sipation are not the same. However, the trends can be
. compared; i.e., for the inductive load test, a greater temperature differential resulted between the optimum offbiaS voltage and the second tested voltage, being as high
as about 15°C for 8M!. By comparison, the resistive load
test showed only a few degrees difference. This is due to
the change in turn-off switching time having a greater
effect on the more energy stressful inductive load switching than on the resistive load.

• Switch mode III MJ16004 compares favorably to
Power MOSFET MTM5N40 at 75 kHz with an offbias of - 5.0 V and generally runs cooler at the optimum bias of - 2.0 V (relative to - 5.0 V for TMOS).
Although not described in this text, the SOA of SMI
& SM"I is not as large as TMOS.
• For "real world" inductive loads, where the turn-off
switching losses predominate, insufficient off-bias
can produce higher case temperature rise for SMI
transistors due to slower turn-off switching speeds
(e.g., @ 75 kHz TC = 58°C for VBE(off) = -2.0 V
compared with 43°C for - 5.0 V).

tively for the 2N6545 and MJ16004, a brief test was conducted by reversing f3F (7.0 and 5.0 respectively).
Although the dynamic saturation characteristic of the bipolars changed subtly due to different base drive, and the
turn-off switching time (even with off-bias) changed by
only a second order, the change in power dissipation was
minimal, if any. Within measurement repeatability, the resultant case temperatures were about the same, suggesting no great requirement of maintaining a defined f3F.
Examination of the above test results, the resistive temperature curves and the photos of the switching waveforms lead to the following conclusions about the switching efficiency of the test devices:

• Optimum off-bias will reduce turn-off switching times
and thus switching losses for the bipolars and FET,
but does not necessarily minimize the storage time
(e.g., for SM'" tfi(min) and ts(min) occur at about
- 2.0 V and - 5.0 respectively.
• Under optimum off-bias voltage condition, the tf of
SM"I approaches that of the very fast TMOS, however, drive power is high.

• The temperature rise results are a measure of total
device dissipation, including the input drive loss.

• Switchmode I 2N6545 can be comparably operated
to 75 kHz when there is sufficient off-bias voltage (or
reverse base current), approximately -5.0 V.

• The fast switching speeds of TMOS coupled with the
low drive power requirements and relatively simple
drive circuitry make the MOSFET an attractive high
frequency device.

• Storage time, when it is not compensated for by circuit feedback techniques, somewhat affects efficiency at high frequencies due to increased ON
losses.

• Power MOSFETs become more efficient at frequencies beyond about 100 kHz when compared to the
new generation of switch mode bipolar transistors.

• Specified force beta f3F of the bipolars are not too
critical for efficiency considerations as the turn-on
times are partially dictated by the load. Off-bias tends
to minimize the storage time effects as f3F is varied;
however, excessive overdrive can cause IC tail lifts
during turn-off which may contribute to larger temperature rise.

• Power MOSFETs have lower id(off) when sufficiently
reverse biased than bipolar ts , thus allowing a higher
operating frequency.
• At low frequencies, ON (static) losses predominate;
thus bipolars are presently more efficient than com-

Low Voltage Devices: TMOS versus
Bipolar, Darlington and GTO Devices
PWM DC Motor Controller Test
The load used in this test is a dc motor whose speed
is controlled by PWM. Consequently, when narrow pulse
widths are applied - low speed - the back emf is low
and the load current (collector, drain or anode current) Is
high, about 11 A. To ensure device saturation under this
worst case condition, adequate input current must be applied. For the devices tested, the forward input current for
the bipolar, Darlington, TMOS and GTO were about 700
rnA, 100 rnA, 1.0 mA, and 120 rnA, respectively.

Due to the motor time constant, the switching frequency
was set for about 100Hz and the min/max duty cycles
were about 8% and 70% respectively. At this low frequency, the use of off-bias for the bipolar, Darlington and
TMOS produces negligible improvement In efficiency as
the decrease in turn-off time is extremely small for the
time frame involved. However, the GTO does require offbias which for this test circuit and DUT was as much as
2.2 A lasting for about 10 pS. This turn-off power should

it can become substantial (refer to Figure 9-10 for drive
circuits and input power equations).
The bipolar, Darlington, and TMOS are turned on by
the input pulse whpse width is a function of the required
motor speed; whereas the GTO is turned on by a relatively
narrow, positive gate current pulse and turned off by a
narrow, negative gate current pulse. As the. frequency is
increased. it is apparent that the GTO input power increases and will reach a point where its input power is
greater than that of the bipolar or Darlington. This crossover frequency is a function of the power supplies used
and the particular duty cycle chosen. As an example, for
a 50% duty cycle with the illustrated power supplies, this
crossover pOint between the Darlington and GTO would
be about 2.0 kHz.

TEST CIRCUIT ANALYSIS
The test cirCUit, shown in Figure 9-9, consists of a two
gate CMOS, astable multivibrator (MV) clocking a CMOS
configured monostable multivibrator (MV) to produce the
approximate 100 Hz, variable pulse width output. Dar-

lington transistor 01 furnishes the buffered output to drive
the two channels of the power amplifier, with transistors
02 and 03 supplying the positive input current to the OUT
and 04 and 05 the negative current. When the OUT Selector Switch S1 is in positions 1, 2, or 3, the full pulse
width will be applied to the OUTs as differentiating capaCitor C1 is shorted out. Thus, positive input current is
generated by the direct coupled pulse turning on the NPN
transistor 02 and the following PNP transistor 03 connected, in positions 1, 2, and 4, as a constant current
source. The respective emitter resistors set the current
IB1 or IGT for the OUTs. Negative current is derived by
differentiating the input pulse with C2, R2 and using the
negative going, trailing edge pulse for turning on the following PNP transistors 04 and NPN clamp transistor 05.
Thus, an off-bias voltage (clamped by diodes 01 and 02)
is supplied to .the selected OUT. If required, the off-bias
can be removed by the Negative Bias Switch S2.
The GTO requires only a relatively narrow positive gate
current pulse to turn it on. This pulse is derived from the
differentiating network C1, R1 (switch S1A open), with the
positive going, leading edge pulse turning on 02 and 03.

The output voltmeter, in effect, measures the relative saturation loss of the OUT since this voltage is subtracted
from the applied motor voltage and, consequently, the
motor speed will be indicative of this loss. Only the relative
positive input current is measured as the reverse currents
at this low frequency contribute very little additional drive
power. However, as the power equations note in Figure

power can be substantial.

TMOS MTP12N06
At low frequency and low motor current, the TMOS is the most
efficient device. Its input drive power is extremely low and its On
voltage, due to the zero offset, relatively linear rDS(on) is low.

DARLINGTON TIP100
Total device dissipation and thus case temperature rise is due to
input and output dissipation. The Darlington, with its high VCE(set),
can stili have lower case temperature than the bipolar at some peak
collector currents, due to its low drive power.

BIPOLAR 2N6487
The bipolar, with its low VCE(set), has low output dissipation but
its input power is the highest to setisfy high collector current - forced
f3 conditions.
At medium and high load currents, the bipolar has the lowest On
voRage followed by the TMOS with the Darlington and GTO being
about equal in third place.

GTO THYRISTOR (Experimental)
The GTO is extremely efficient at low frequencies from a drive
point of view since it requires only narrow turn-on and turn-off current
pulses, but becomes less efficient as the frequency increases due
to the higher duty cycles involved.

Test Results
The results of this efficiency versus frequency test, as
measured by the case temperature rise using a small
heatsink, are shown in Figure 9-11.

Efficiency as a Function of Frequency Tests
The PMW Motor Control Circuit was tested at a constant, low frequency, so the relative efficiencies measured
were primarily due to static (saturation) losses. To determine the effect of the dynamic (switching) losses, which
increase with increasing frequencies, the four different
devices were tested with a resistive load, using a variable
frequency, constant duty cycle (50%) input signal. The
load current was set for about 4.0 A (VCC = 28 V,
R1 -=7.00) and the same basic test circuit shown in Figure 9-9 was used. Most of the modifications were in the
reverse bias circuit, with the off-bias voltage being either
o V or - 5.0 V for the bipolar, Darlington and TMOS tests
and -12 V for the GTO.
Transistor 04 emitter resistor (2.0 0) was shorted out
to form an off-bias voltage source; 03 emitter was tied to
the + 12 V bus to furnish drive to 04 when VBE(off) was
oV; and differentiating capacitor C2 was increased to 0.02
JLF to allow greater turn-off time for the GTO. Also, the
bipolar forward base current was set fo 600 rnA, resulting
in a f3F of about 7.0.

TMOS MTP12N06
As expected, the TMOS device ran the coolest at higher
frequencies, being very constant in temperatures up to
about 10 kHz and then rising slightly thereafter. At low
frequencies, where static losses predominate, the TMOS
MTP12N06 case temperature was only about 2°C warmer
than the bipolar 2N6487, due to the respective saturation
voltages of about.0;6 V (rOS(on) Typ= 0.150) and 0.4 V.
Although not shown, increasing the off-bias voltage
(VGS(off)) from 0 V to -5.0 V showed only about a 2°C
improvement at 33.kHz, due to slightly faster turn-off time;
otherwise, at lower frequencies, the difference in turn-off
time had little effect in case temperature.

VSE(offl was increased from 0 V (base-emitter clamp) to
- S.O V. Without off-bias, the case temperature approached 11SoC at 33 kHz, whereas, with - S.O V, it was
only about 70°C.

load current rise time is limited by the inductance of the
wire-wound load resistor and that the TMOS switches
much faster. Second, to ensure turn-off of the GTO at
elevated temperatures, the peak reverse gate current with
VGR of -12 V was about 6.0 A with a pulse width of
about 1.0 JJS at the SO% point.

DARLINGTON TIP100

The low voltage TIP100 Darlington does not have a
speed-up diode across its input emitter-base resistor and
thus the stored charge of the output transistor cannot be
efficiently removed. Consequently, there is no improvement in case temperature at low or nominal frequencies and only some moderate improvement at 33 kHz
(117"C relative to 133°C) when the off-bias was increased
to -S.O V.
The Darlington, with the highest saturation voltage of
the four devices, not surprisingly, had the highest case
temperature at low frequencies and, beyond S.O kHz, was
about as inefficient as the GTO.
GTO (EXPERIMENTAL)

The experimental GTO exhibited static losses somewhere between the bipolar and the Darlington due to its
on-voltage of about 1.2 V at 4.0 A. The device did perform
at 33 kHz, however, its case temperature rose to about
12SoC. This was due to its relatively slower switching
times, as shown by the oscillograms in Figure 9-12. Figure
9-12 (a), (b) and (c) show the 33 kHz waveforms of anode
current, anode-cathode voltage and gate current, respectively, relative to the TMOS drain current (Figure 9-12d)
and drain-source voltage (Figure 9-12e). Note that the

The GEMFET versus the MOSFET and
Bipolar
The GEMFET (Gain Enhanced MOSFET) is a new
power semiconductor device with a combination of characteristics that were previously unavailable to the designer
of power circuitry. Closely related to the power MOSFET
in structure, this device has a forward voltage drop comparable to bipolars while maintaining the high input impedance and fast turn-on of its isolated gate. While turn-on
speeds are very fast, turn-off is presently relatively slow
and will restrict the use of at least the first generration of
these devices to lower frequency applications.
The most pronounced advantage of the GEMFET over
the power MOSFET is its lower on-resistance. The
rDS(on) of a high voltage MOSFET is fairly large and rises
with increasing junction temperature and drain current.
Conversely, the rDS(on) of a GEMFET decreases with
increasing TJ and is not greatly affected by 'D. Since the
MOSFET does not have the GEMFET's offset voltage in
its output transfer characteristics, at low currents the
MOSFET on-resistance is slightly lower. However, at high
currents and temperatures, the difference is dramatically
in favor of the GEMFET.

COMPARATIVE SWITCHING OF A GTO AND TMOS AT 33 kHz

To illustrate the relative efficiencies of these two
TO-220 devices - MGP20N50 GEMFET and MTP4N50
MOSFET - with that of a comparable die size, TO-220,
high voltage Switch mode bipolar MJE13007, the .Iow frequency, PWM motor controller test described in the previous section was performed. The results of a duty cycle
versus case temperature rise test is shown in Figure 913. Note that at his low frequency test, where saturation
losses predominate, the GEMFET is much more efficient
than the MOSFET at low duty cycles (high motor armature
currents), and even runs cooler than the bipolar device
as the pulse width increases (motor current decreases).
The second test, comparing the three devices with an
inductive load at several frequencies (the inductances
were changed to maintain the same peak currents for all
frequencies) is illustrated in Figure 9-14. Now, at the
higher frequencies, the GEMFET runs the hottest - due
to its slow turn-off switching time - and the MOSFET
becomes more efficient than the bipolar at about 25 kHz.
For more information on the GEMFET, please refer to
Chapter 8, the Spin-off Technologies of TMOS.

The Efficiency of TMOS versus Bipolar and
Darlington Devices in the Energy
Management Package
In high current packages, FETs add a new dimension
of capabilities to power semiconductors. With ratings that
allow operation in excess, of 100 A, field-effect transistors
now compete with other types of switches in heavy duty
applications.
High current packages that were originally intended for
bipolar Darlingtons are readily adapted to FETs. These
Case 353 packages, labeled Energy Management Series
(EMS) are, shown in Figure 9-15.
In addition to testing relative efficiencies of devices encased in TO-204 (TO-3) and TO-220 packages, comparative temperature tests were also run on the EMS of transistors. The OUTs were the lOW-VOltage, medium-current
power MOSFET, MTE100N06 (100 A, 60 V) and similar
die-size, low-voltage, experimental bipolar and Darlington
transistors. The results of this resistor-load, variablefrequency test (100 Hz to 12 kHz) is shown in the temp-

effeCt of the clamping factor. Automotive button surge suppressors, such as the MR2525. performed well during
development and testing of Motorola's multi-chip power
MOSFETs.
To ensure that the voltage appearing across the drainsource terminals does not exceed the maximum VOS rating, proper measurement techniques are warranted. For
very rapid switching, flyback voltage transients should be
measured with a wideband oscilloscope and voltage
probe (> 150 MHz). The use of probes with grounding
leads is not recommended. Rather, a chassis-mount test
jack, with Its ground soldered directly to the source lead
and its tip to the drain, is a more precise technique.
Even with an ideal RF layout and a perfect drain-source
voltage clamp, large· di/dt's may necessitate considerations of the effects of the parasitic package inductances.

"ON" VOLTAGE COMPARISON
FETs are often associated with higher levels of on-state
power dissipation than bipolars, particularly at higher
power levels. While this perception is accurate at powerline voltages. at voltages below 100 volts, FETs have a
distinct advantage. Figures 10-9 and 10-10 illustrate the

VDS DERATING FOR LARGE di/dt's
When a MOSFET, including both multiple and singledie devices, generates a large di/dt at turn-off, the source
and drain package inductances can produce significant
drain-source voltage stress in addition to that observed
at the device terminals. This situation deserves special
attention in multi-chip devices, in part due to the larger
package Inductances. The increased magnitude of the
current being switched also exacerbates the problem.
Since the circuit designer has no control over internally
generated voltages, a derating of the maximum allowable
VOS is warranted when large currents are switched rapidly.
The circuit elements internal to the "Medium Current"
multi-chip MOSFET, including the significant parasitics,
are illustrated in Figure 10-S. The three individual source
inductances represent the inductance of the source wirebonds, and the inductances at the source and drain terminals model the source and drain bus. Figure 10-6 shows
an oscillogram that compares the drain-source flyback

creases with increasing current at a constant power level,
it was thought that the same may be true for power MOSFETs and that this could steepen the SOA slope (46). If
R6JC increases with voltage (decreasing current), the device would not be able to dissipate as much power at the
high voltage, low current end of the curve.
To investigate this premise, many thermal resistance
measurements were taken on the OUTs, all at a constant
power level, but varying 10 and VOS (VOS1 101 = VOS2
102, etc.). A thermal resistance fixture that used a switching technique to measure the voltage drop across the
parasitic drain-to-source diode was used initially. The inherent measurement error in this method tended to suppress any trends in the variation of R6JC with 10.
A second method that measures the junction temperature of a decapped device with an infrared microradiometer proved to be more accurate. The instrument read
out an average temperature of about 10.0% of the die
area that was located in the center or the hottest part of
the chip. Again, 10 and VOS were varied while Po was
held constant. As shown in Figure 11-7, R6JC does decrease with increasing 10 at a constant PO, like bipolars,
but the 10.0% change in R6JC is not enough to account
for the approximate 30.0% change in power handling capabilities (m = 1.4). Although R6JC varies and does steepen the FBSOA slope, it has only a partial effect under
these test conditions. These results must be qualified because the equipment did not allow the measurement of
R6JC at a power level near the FBSOA limits where the
change in R6JC could be more or less significant.
The failure mechanism and thus the slope of the curves
obtained from the FBSOA test fixture, is a function of
junction temperature, VOS, 10 and a variable thermal resistance. Because the junction temperature rose so high,
the device could be going into avalanche breakdown
which would be a strong function of VOS, as the curves
indicate. This temperature at failure is above TJ(max) ratings and demonstrates why users must not exceed published SOA curves.

Since power MOSFETs or, for that matter, bipolar transistors, do change their thermal resistance as operating
conditions vary, this could warrant a change in the published SOA curves. The thermally limited portion of the
curve is presently based on one thermal resistance reading taken at a single operating condition. If this is a worst
case reading (taken at low current, high voltage), this
could significantly underrate the device at the highcurrent, low-voltage portion of the curve. Conversely, if
the reading is taken at the high-current end, this could
overrate the device at the' low-current end. Further study
needs. to be done to determine if the change in Rruc is
significant enough to alter the way manufacturers derive
published SOA curves.
The significance of the slope greater than minus one,
as accurately derived from the non-destruct FBSOA
tester, is that a simple power limit of, say, 75 W may not
be appropriate because it could overrate a device under
certain conditions and underrate the same device at the
same power level but lower voltage and higher current.
Motorola establishes conservative derating of RruC to
ensure reliable operation under all bias conditions.

Turn-off Switching SOA of Power
MOSFETs
One of the advantages of power MOSFETs over bipolars is its superior reverse bias safe operating area
(RBSOA) performance. Power MOSFET RBSOA curves
are generally "square" at IO(max) and V(BR)DSS, (Figure
11-8) indicating that performance is bounded only by maximum voltage and maximum pulsed current ratings. In
other words, MOSFETs are not generally RBSOA limited.
There are possible exceptions to this rule, however. As
noted in thedv/dt section outlined earlier in Chapter 4,
rapid changes in drain-source voltages can limit the RBSOA

(tum-off switching SOA) capability of the MOSFET due to
the injected current into the Crss capacitance inadvertently
biasing-on the MOSFET.
Many practical power loads are inductive which can
cause severe stress on the power switching device during
turn-off. Due to the nature of an inductive load line, the
switch, be it a power MOSFET or bipolar tranSistor, can
simultaneously experience a high current and high

rate dictated by the time-constant of the relatively large
inductance in the collector circuit. When the DUT tums
off, the energy stored in the inductor (E = 1/2L1CM2) has
to be dissipated in the transistor since there Is no external
circuit, or clamp, to "catch" this energy as the current
ramps down. Also, immediately at tum-off, the collectoremitter voltage flies back up due to the "inductive kick"
(v = L dildt). If the stored energy is great enough and the
transistor tum-off time fast enough, this voltage will fly
back to the breakdown voltage ofthe device (V(BR)CEX),
causing the transistor to avalanche. The transistor thus
has to dissipate the energy due to this unclamped operation by sustaining its breakdown voltage until the collector current falls to zero and the inductor discharges. The
maximum energy that the device can sustain, defined as
Second Breakdown Energy (ES/b), is determined by increasing the collector current until the device fails. Usually
this current is below the nominal operating current of the
device since the transistor has to absorb the relatively
high inductor energy and generally cannot sustain its maximum specified current. Theory and practice have shown
that most low-voltage transistors have decreasing Es/b
capability with increasing reverse-bias voltage due to current croWding.
The unclamped inductive loads stress the power
MOSFET in a similar manner. Now, the failing drain current will cause the flyback voltage to avalanche the drainsource of the MOSFET (V(BR)DSS).
The problem with this Es/b rating is that the derived
energy is only related to that particular inductance and is
highly dependent on its Q (quality factor, i.e., series re-

(Figure 11-9a) or protected with a clamp circuit (Figure

inductive turn-off: Second Breakdown Energy (Eslb) and
RBSOA.
SECOND BREAKDOWN ENERGY (Es/b)
Power transistors were originally characterized with an
unclamped inductive load (Figure 11-9a). The Device Under Test (DUn, typically a low voltage, extremely rugged
transistor, is turned on by applying a positive pulse to its
base through a resistive network terminated in a reverse
bias voltage VBB2. Collector current then ramps up at a

sistance). Additionally, the indUctance specified to achieve
Eslb is generally quite large, 10 mH or greater, and does
not represent the real world .inductance seen in Switchmode applications. Finally, and most important, most applications use some form of celamping to prevent drainvoltage breakdoWns. For tlJis reason, most high voltage
switching transistors are specified with a clamped inductive load.

RBSOA

.. '

..

A more precise and definite' inductive turn-off rating is
the clamped inductive turn-off fating labeled RBSOA. In
the simplified test circuit of Figure 11 '9b, the OUT is subjected to a real world clamped condition. The inductance
ne.ed be only large enough to ensure that the flyback time
is greater than the drain current fall time, generally resulting in inductances from 100 pH to 1.0 mHo These
values also more accurately represent the leakage inductances encountered in switching applications.
To subject the device to the greatest stress during turnoff, the inductance should be of high Q to ensure that the
peak drain. current, 10M,and'flyback voltage, VOSM, are
simultaneously presented to the OUT, Figure 11-9c, resulting in a turn-off load line that approximates a rectangle.
Under these conditions, 10 will start to fall· when VOS
forward .biases the clamp diode, at which time the stored
indllctor energy (current) will be transferred to the external
diode circuit.
To determine the RBSOA capability of the device, 10M
is set to a typical operating current and the clamp voltage
is increased until the transistor goes into second break~
down. Then other current levels are tested until the complete RBSOA curve is established. These second breakdown paints relate to the energy dissipated in the device
during turn-off, specifically the crossover time tc , (Figure
11-9c) and represents the energy encountered in inductive switching applications, (whereas, the lower 10M for
the unclamped Es/b mode does not). Reverse biasing in
this example is provided by a transistor clamp from the
gate of the N-Channel MOSFET to either a negative voltage or ground.

SWITCHING SAFE OPERATING AREA (SSOA)
The term Switching Safe Operating Area is the generalized SOA limitation during turn-on and turn-off of the.
power MOSFET. Turn-off switching SOA is equivalent to
RBSOA for bipolar devices and will henceforth be used
to describe this characteristic.
The straightforward method of determining the turn-off
switching SOA is through destructively testing the power
MOSFET in the clamped inductive turn-off circuit. This is
accomplished by setting the drain current to a specified
value by either adjusting the applied input pulse width
(tPW) or the drain supply voltage VOO since 10 '"
vooLt pw . Then the clamp supply voltage is gradually
increased until one of two conditions occurs. If the specified 10 is less than the 10M rating, the clamp voltage can
be increased until the device avalanches and begins dissipating the inductor's energy. Since the MOSFET is operating in an Es/b mode at this point, failures may occur.

At drain currents greater than 10M, the device is operating outside its current ratings and the MOSFET may
fail at clamp voltages less than V(BR)OSS. In short, the
MOSFET's SSOA curves guarantee that the locus of failures is outside the 10M - V(BR)OSS boundaries. The
SSOA curve shown in Figure 11-13 is applicable for both
turn-on and turn-off of devices with switching times less
than one microsecond.
Normally a destructive fixture is used to ensure that the
fail paints lie outside the turn-off SOA boundaries. This
requires testing of many devices and device trends are
difficult to determine. The use of a non-destructive fixture
greatly simplifies establishing the SSOA ratings since usually only one OUT can be used to generate a complete
turn-off switching SOA curve.

N-CHANNEL NON-DESTRUCT TURN-OFF
SWITCHING SOA TEST FIXTURE
In order to save the OUT from the normally destructive
second breakdown energy, the stored inductive energy
must be quickly diverted from the transistor to an external
crowbar circuit. A test fixture, based on the work done at
the United States National Bureau of Standards,31 was
designed to have the capability of crowbarring as much
as 50 A and blocking as much as 1000 V. The 10 A
crowbarred propagation delay was about 70 ns and the
current rise time was about 40 ns. Triggering of the crowbar was accomplished by detecting the fast rate of change
of the collapsing drain-source voltage once the device
weht into second breakdown. Using this test fixture, a
complete SOA curve can often be formed using only one
OUT; consequently, the OUT must sustain as many as 30
or 40 crowbars (second breakdowns) to establish the
curve. Not all devices will survive so many crowbars without degradation or failure, but a large percentage do, allowing a relatively simple and non-ambiguous curve to be
generated. Oegradation is measured by a relatively large
change in drain leakage current, lOSS, after testing. For
this magnitude of leakage current change, subsequent
retesting will usually show a decrease in device turn-off
SOA capability.
The main elements of the non-destruct SOA test fixture
are illustrated in the block diagram of Figure 11-10. Of
these blocks the most important are the Orive Circuit consisting of the VGS(on) and VGS(off) Transistor Switches,
the Oetector/Crowbar and a Pulse Generator capable of
being inhibited when crowbarring occurs. Of secondary
importance are the VOO Switch, and a Greater than 10%
Outy Cycle Lockout circuit. Also required is an externally
connected inductor, typically about 200 IJ-H.
Referring to Figure 11-10, the circuit operates as follows: An input pulse, Yin, is applied to the input of the
Orive Circuit controlling the three respective switches,
VGS(on), VGS(off), and VOO· The VGS(on) switch supplies the positive turn-on gate voltage and concurrent with
its turn-off, the VGS(off) switch is turned on. The drain
suppiyis also turned on (VOO switch) when positive gate
voltage is applied and, to ensure proper system operation,
will remain on for several microseconds (due to drive transistor storage time) after removal of the input pulse. Ouring
this on-time, the collector current ramps-up and, upon

TURN-OFF SWITCHING SOA TEST FIXTURE

turn-off, the drain voltage flies back. When the f1yback
voltage reaches the clamp voltage, the inductor current
is transferred to the clamp circuit. The drain voltage will
then fall at a relatively slow rate, typically a couple of
hundred nanoseconds, as the energy stored in the inductor is completely discharged.
If, however, excessive energy is applied to the OUT
during this switching time, the FET can go into second
breakdown. Then the drain voltage falls very rapidly, possibly in less than 10 ns. When this occurs, the low R-C
time-constant Oifferentiator detects this fast falling waveform - discriminating against the normal slow falling waveform - and produces a negative-going pulse which ultimately triggers the crowbar. The crowbar fires and the
current in the OUT is quickly diverted to the crowbar,
removing the turn-off energy stress from the transistor.
The Pulse Generator is also disabled, preventing any successive pulses from being reapplied until the system is
reset.
DRIVE CIRCUIT
The drive circuit for the SOA test fixture is shown in
Figure 11-11 and consists of the three aforementioned
switches. A Oarlington transistor, 01, is used to buffer the
CMOS-derived input pulse of 15 V from the drive circuit.
Positive gate voltage is generated by turning on the
NPN transistor, 02, with the positive going input pulse.
This stage supplies drive to the PNP Baker-clamp-,
configured transistor, 03, whose output feeds the gate of
the OUT, turning it on.
Reverse bias is derived by differentiating the input pulse
with the R1Cl network. The generated negative-going
pulse; which is coincident with the trailing edge of the
input pulse, then turns on PNP transistor, 04, and the
following NPN transistor, 05.
This off-bias voltage pulse is set by R1Cl and, for the

values chosen, is about 10 /Ls. Also, due to the trailing
edge coincidence of the two pulses (plus approximately
equal propagation delays through the two respective
switches), the transition time between VGS(on) and
VGS(off) can be relatively fast for some OUTs and operating conditions, approaching less than 200 ns.
The drain switch is used as a safety device, removing
current from the inductor if the OUT were to fail short.
This circuit utilizes two cascaded Baker-clamped monolithic Oarlingtons (NPN 06 and PNP 07) to reach the 50
A capability of the fixture. The Baker-clamp diodes (03,
04 and 05, 06) minimize the storage time of this switch
after the OUT is turned off.
Once the OUT is turned off, the inductor-stored energy
is dissipated through the two clamp diodes (07 and 08
for high-voltage capability), the clamp supply and filter
network, and 07 clamp diode 09. Diodes 010 and 011
in the drain circuit of the OUT are used to prevent reverse
drain currents from flowing and also to ensure that the
crowbar saturation voltage is lower than the parasitic transistor second breakdown voltage, thus diverting the drain
current.
Drain current can be monitored by the current loop as
shown. Additionally, the current-sense resistor, R2, can
be used to monitor 10, but care must be taken in the layout
to minimize ground loops which can distort this current
replica. As in any high-speed, high-current switch, good
RF techniques should be used in the layout.

As previously mentioned, an RC differentiator is used
to discriminate between the normal VOS fall time and
second breakdown fall time; the components used are a
1.0 kV capacitor, C2, fixed resistor R3, and Sensitivity
Control R4.
Originally, the output pulse from this network fired a 25 A

SCR as a crowbar, but the tum-on time of about 600 ns
proved to be too long to save the DUT. What is required
is a fast latching crowbar. This is now achieved by using
a common-base-connected NPN transistor, 010, as a
level detector-pulse amplifier, triggering a fast, discrete
monostable multivibrator (MV) consisting of PNP transistcrs 011 and 012. This 25 JLS MV, which allows adequate
time for the inductor stored energy to be dissipated, then
drives the direct-coupled NPN transistor, 013, and following PNP transistor, 014, to a power level capable of tuming on the crowbar. Diode D12 is used to block any noise

pulses on the VDD line from false triggering the monostable MV.
The crowbar consists of four parallel MJ 10011 monolithic Darlington transistors (015-Q18) selected for VCEO
greater than 1000 V. This transistor, designed for horizontal deflection circuits, offers the best blocking voltageswitching speed tradeoff of the several different devices
tested. By using fast, wide-band transistors throughout,
propagation delay and rise time of 70 ns and 40 ns, respectively, were measured at an IC of 10 A.

The resistor-diode networks (RS-9, D14-21) in the respective Darlington emitter circuits serve both as a ballasting-voltage clipping circuit and a crowbar indication
source for the second breakdown LED indicator circuit. .

PULSE GENERATOR
The timing functions for the Non-Destruct Turn-off SOA
Test Fixture are generated by a quad, 2-input NOR gate,
MC14001. These gates are configured as an astable MV
(gates A 1 and A2) clocking a monostable MV (gates A3
and A4) for pulse-width generation. By setting the RepRate Control and the Pulse-Width Control, periods of from
90 JLS to 1.4 ms and pulse-widths of 4.0 JLS to 180 JLS are
achievable.
The Control Circuit produces free running pulses whose
duty cycle should be maintained at less than 10% (limited
by the driver circuit resistor power ratings). One-shot operation can also be generated by simply setting switch S2
to the one shot position and depressing the pushbutton
start switch S1, thus providing a triggerto the Pulse-Width
Mono MV.

COMPLETE N-CHANNEL NON-DESTRUCT SOA
SYSTEM
Included in Figure 11-11, the complete N-channel NonDestruct Turn-off Switching Tester, are two other circuits
not previously described. They are:

breakdown voltage of the switch. Various types of suppressors or "snubber" circuits such as Zeners, MOVs, RC
networks and clamp or "free-wheeling" diodes are generally used. The energy stored in the inductor is diverted
from the transistor at turn-off and is harmlessly dissipated
in the snubber, thus protecting the transistor switch.
To protect Single power MOSFET switches, the snubber
can be placed across either the inductor or the MOSFET.
A Zener diode or RC snubber circuit can protect the drainsource of the power MOSFET but a simple clamp diode
across these terminals will not, as it will only come into
operation if its reverse blocking voltage is exceeded. However, in the multitransistor configurations commonly used
for switching regulators, inverters and motor controllers,
clamp diodes across the semiconductor switches are frequently used (Figure 11-12). The diodes do not protect
their respective FETs but rather the complementary FET.
As an example, in the totem-pole configuration of Figure
11-12c, diode D2 protects Q1 and D1 protects Q2.
To illustrate this, assume Q2 is initially conducting,
causing load current to flow up through the inductor from
ground. When Q2 turns off, the inductive current will continue but now through 01, through the power supply V +
and return to the ground side of the inductor. Consequently, the fly-back voltage will be clamped to V + (from
V - ), resulting in an amplitude of 2.0 V + when V + equals

V-.
If the output power devices are power MOSFETs with
D-S diodes, the question arises as to whether these
diodes are capable of adequately clamping the turn-off
inductive load current. In other words, do the diodes switch
fast enough and can they take the commutated load current?
The following discussion characterizes the O-S diode
of a number of power MOSFETs so that the circuit designer can make the performance/cost comparisons between using these internal diodes or discrete outboard
ones.

1. The Greater Than 10% Duty Cycle Lockout Circuit.
2. The LED Indicator/Pulse Inhibit Circuit.
The 10% Duty Cycle circuit integrates the input pulse
train with an RC network in the base circuit of the smallsignal PNP Darlington MPSAS5 (Q8). The resultant dc
base voltage is compared with the emitter reference voltage derived from a 1N914 diode (D20). At duty cycles
greater than about 15-20%, the Darlington will turn-on,
lighting a LED indicator and turning on the NPN 2N3904
(Q9) transistor clamp across the input of the MPSU45
emitter follower (Ql). This effectively limits the duty cycle
and the power dissipated in the drive circuit.
The LED Indicator/Pulse Inhibit circuit is enabled when
the crowbar fires. The control signal is derived from the
emitters of the Darlington crowbars and fed to the gate of
the second breakdown SCR (Q19), turning it on. Placed
in the anode circuit of this SCR are the series-connected
second breakdown LED, reset switch (S3) and base biasing resistors for the 2N390S pulse inhibit transistor (Q20).
Thus, when the SCR fires, the LED will turn on, indicating
second breakdown. The inhibit transistor will also turn on,
placing the input to astable MV (A 1) high, thereby disabling the pulse train. The system is enabled by opening
(depressing) the normally closed pushbutton reset switch,
thus unlatching the SCA-

SWITCHING CHARACTERISTICS
The important switching characteristics of clamp diodes
in switch mode applications are reverse recovery time, trr ,
and turn-on time, ton. Diodes with long trr times can cause
excessive turn-on stress on the FET they should be protecting as both the diode and the FET will be conducting
during this time interval. The result will be a feed through
drain current spike which could exceed the forward bias
SOA of the FET. If the diode has relatively slow ton times
or high overshoot voltage - modulation voltage
VFM(DYN) - then, in a similar manner, the FET might
not adequately be protected during inductive turn-off.
In the past, most semiconductor manufacturers would
characterize and specify (if they did it at all) the internal
diodes for switching, using the JEOEC suggested circuits
of Figure 11-13a and 11-13b. There are several problems
associated with these circuits; for one, they were originally
developed for sine-wave rectifier applications. As such,
the trr test circuit would produce a half sine-wave of controllable current amplitude, IFM, and di/dt of the current
fall time. However, since the current waveform was derived from a capacitor dump, tuned circuit, the resulting

current duration tp was dictated by IFM and di/dt. Under
some high di/dt conditions, tp can become relatively short
compared to the trr of the device under test (OUT) and
consequently the diode is not fully turned on, thus producing inaccurate trr measurements. To ensure adequate
OUT turn-on, tp should exceed five times trr .

Second, since trr is dependent on IFM and di/dt, what
should these variables be set to? IFM is obvious: it should
be the diverted drain current, but di/dt could be anything,
be it 25 AIJLS or 100 AI p,s, etc. In reality, this diode current
tum-off time is controlled by the complementary FET turnon ,time.

FIGURE 11-14 - EVOLUTION OF INDUCTIVE CLAMP TEST CIRCUIT

The problem with the ton test circuit was the difficulty
in defining and controlling the rise time of the current pulse
applied to the OUT. Since this current pulse affects the
measured VFM(OYMI and ton of the OUT, its shape
should be related to the real world conditions.
This is what the proposed test circuit does. Its configuration is derived from a typical two transistor Switch mode
application, be it a totem-pole for characterizing N-channel
O-S diodes or a complementary common source for characterizing P-channel O-S diodes (Figure 11-14). These
configurations reduce to the simple, single-ended inductive clamp circuit (Figure 11-14e) whereby the clamp
diode would be the O-S diode of either the N-channel FET
(totem-pole) or the complementary P-channel FET.
The reverse recovery time is of greatest significance
for continuous load currents common in switching inductive loads. Figure 11-15a describes the idealized current
waveforms when a continuous inductive load current IL
is com mutated between the FET (10) and clamp diode

(IF). Figure 11-15b shows the time expansion of both the
leading and trailing edges of 10 and IF. Note that the drain
current fall time tliC controls the diode current rise time
tflO (or ton) and in a similar manner, the dlO/dt (or triO)
of the drain current turn-on time dictates the dlF/dt of the
diode current turn-off time. Thus, the faster the FET
SWitches, the greater is the di/dt applied to the diode. The
diode dildt then dictates the magnitude of the reverse
recovery time trr and current IRM(REC). Since the current
through the inductor is equal to 10 plus IF the peak drain
current 10M at turn-on will consequently have the magnitude of 10M impressed on it. This is illustrated in Figure
11-16 whereby the switching times of 10 and IF are the
mirror image of each other; the sum of the two waveforms
would yield the inductor current, whose ripple magnitude
is dependent on the switching frequency and load inductance.
An example of discontinuous and continuous load current waveforms are shown in Figures 11-17a and 11-17b
respectively. Note that for the discontinuous case, where
the inductor current IL is allowed to completely discharge,
the dildt of IF is extremely low, thus producing no IRM or
t rr . For the continuous current case, the resultant di/dt
produces significant IRM and t rr .
The size of the inductor used has little, if any, effect on
the trr measurements as shOwn in Figures 11-18a and
11-18b; Figure 11-18a shows the full cycle and time
expanded waveform of diode current for inductances of

transistor acts as the off-bias switch, applying to the driver

as the R2C1 time constant, about 5.0 JLS for the component values shown.

core) inductor. The major difference is the magnitude of
the ripple current, the larger inductor producing a more
constant current source.
TEST CIRCUIT
The test circuit used for generating the diode switching
characteristics, a translation of the "real world" circuit of
Figure 11-14e, is shown in Figure 11-19. It consists of a
CMOS, astable multivibrator (Gates G1 and G2) driving
two parallel connected Gates 3 and 4 as a buffer. Potentiometer R1 varies the duty cycle of the approximately 25
kHz output which therefore sets the magnitude of the OUT
current (along with VOO). The positive-going output from
the buffer is direct-coupled to turn on the NPN transistor
01 and the following Baker-clamped PNP transistor 02.
To produce an off-bias to the driver, which can shape
its turn-off time and consequently the diode turn-on time,
the negative going edge of the output pulse from the buffer
is used. Capacitor C1 and resistor R2 form a differentiating
circuit to produce the negative pulse for turning on PNP

SWITCHING TEST RESULTS
TMOS O-S diodes are usually tested at the rated continuous drain current. The supply voltage VOO should be
greater than 10 V to ensure that the OUT driver is operating with typical transconductance. Since the OUT current is a function of duty cycle and/or VOO, reducing the
input pulse width will allow a greater VOO to be used, if
so required.
Although it is not always possible to test the OUT with
its real world supply voltage (Le., high voltage devices
with higher VOOs than low voltage devices), the results
would be more indicative if it were possible, since 9fs and
switching speeds will vary somewhat with VOO.

Testing of several different FETs as a function of VDD
showed a second order variation in trr measurements. At
any rate, to ensure measurement repeatability, VDD, frequency, duty cycle and inductor specification should be
listed. For most of the TMOS FETs tested, the inductor
was either one 200 p,H, 15 A rated air core or two in
parallel (100 p,H, 30 A). Whatever the conditions, the DUT
driver and diode under test should be adequately heat
sunk to minimize excessive case temperature rise.
The switching characteristics of an MTM15N15 as
shown in Figure 11-20, and the complete switching results
for the TMOS FETs tested are compiled in Table 1.
Also shown (Figure 11-21) for comparison, are switching photos of discrete rectifiers. Note that the fast recovery
rectifier, as expected, had the lowest trr and that the standard rectifier, the largest t rr . But of even more interest,
the TMOS. D-S diode had the lowest trr of all diodes tested
(Table 1).
From this data, the circuit designer can now decide if
the switching characteristics of the diode are adequate
for his application.

SURGE CHARACTERISTICS
An equally important consideration is whether the diode
can handle the commutated load current in which, under
continuous load current, high duty cycle conditions, the
energy can be quite high.
The TMOS D-S diode is the result of the parasitic NPN
transistor across the FET and as such, actually has more
die area available to conduct diode current than the FET
has for drain current. For data sheet purposes, the drainsource diode current, labeled IS, is made equal to the
drain current ID.
To verify these current ratings, the D-S diodes were
subjected to two different pulse width surge tests, a one

second, one-shot pulse and a 300 p,S, 1.8% duty cycle
(60 Hz rep rate) pulse train. The one second test, which
approximates adc test, was run with the DUT bolted to
a four inch square copper heat sink, initially water cooled
and then in free air. The DUT forward current was then
increased until the device was destroyed. The test results
on one product line for the water cooled versus free air
cooled were virtually identical so all subsequent tests were
done in free air. The results of these tests are shown in
the surge current sections of Table 1.
For power dissipation purposes and clamping efficiency
determination, the typical forward characteristics of the
diodes were also taken, as shown in Figure 11-22. These
VF-IF curves were derived from a curve tracer using a
300 '}LS current pulse at 60 PPS; the low duty cycle en-

sured low case temperature readings. For comparison
purposes,' Figure 11-23 describes the forward characteristics of discrete diodes under the same test conditions.
Knowing the voltage drop and current, the diode dissipation can be calculated. For any combination of power
dissipation, the total diode and FET dissipations should
not exceed the rating of the devices. After determining
the switching characteristics and the power handling capability of the diodes, a cost/performance trade-off can be
made. If the switcher is in the development phase, it is
relatively simple to determine the effects of using the internal monolithic diode over a discrete, outboard diode,
i.e. measuring case temperature rise, current and voltage
waveforms, load lines to ensure safe SOA, device and
system efficiency, etc.

Thermal Measurements
to the test device. The transistor is operated in the active
region and power dissipation can be adjusted by varying
IE and/or VCE until the junction is at the calibration temperature. This condition is known by monitoring the baseemitter voltage during the time when 1M only is flowing,
with either an oscilloscope or a sample-and-hold circuit.
When VBE is equal to the value obtained in the calibration
procedure, the junction temperature is known. The case
temperature is noted at this time, as well as IE and VCE.
The heating period Is long, so the temperature of the
transistor case is stabilized and the interval of power interruption short, usually 300 JLS, so junction cooling will
be minimal.
The steady state thermal resistance can be easily calculated from the information obtained in the calibration
and power dissipation procedures. The simple formula is
derived from the basic thermal resistance model (Figure
11-25) showing the thermal to electrical analogy for a
semiconductor.
Steady state thermal resistance, junction-to-case, is as
follows:
TJ - TC
RruC = VCE x IE

STEADY STATE THERMAL RESISTANCE
MEASUREMENTS
H is a well known fact that, for reliable operation of a semiconductor, junction temperature is of great concern. All
semiconductor die have a critical temperature which must
not be exceeded or failure will occur. Also, semiconductor
operating life can be either extended or shortened by its
operating temperature.
The usual semiconductor die is enclosed in some type
of package which prevents a direct temperature measurement. Due to the inaccessibility of the die, an indirect
method must be used to determine the junction temperature. A common method is to use a temperature sensitive
electrical parameter. The parameter used can vary, depending upon the type of semiconductor measured.
A basic block diagram for steady-state thermal resistance measurements for bipolar transistors is shown in
Figure 11-24. Th~ forward biased base-emitter-junction is
used as the temperature sensitive parameter. This junction is calibrated at an elevated temperature in the forward
direction, with a low calibration current (1M), and should
be in the linear region above the diode knee. Also, 1M
should not contribute significantly to junction temperature
nor turn-on the transistor; typical values are 2.0 to 10 mA.
The calibration procedure can be performed in a temperature chamber, with the temperature set for a normal
cperating temperature value for the semiconductor being
measured. A typical temperature for a silicon die is around
100°C. The base-emitter forward voltage is measured and
recorded at 1M and at the calibration temperature.
After calibration, a power switching fixture (Figure
11-24) is used to alternately apply and interrupt the power

or

Po

For junction-to-case measurements, sufficient heat
sinking should be provided to prevent excessive junction
temperature. Measurement accuracy is improved with a
large temperature delta between the junction and case.
This delta can be achieved by using an efficient heat sink
permitting a power dissipation (IE VCE) of sufficient magnitude to reach the calibration temperature.

These temperature sensitive parameters (TSP) of a
power MOSFET with their approximate temperature coefficients are listed as follows:

In order to detennine the !hennal resistance of any semiconductor device, an accurate and repeatable method of
measuring the device temperature is required. The linear
temperature dependence of the on-voltage of a forward
biased semiconductor junction has proven to be a reliable
parameter and is consequently used for bipolar transistors
(emitter-base or collect-base junctions), rectifiers, zeners
and thyristors. Because of their intrinsic D-S diode, this
technique is also applicable to TMOS power MOSFETs.
When measuring the thermal resistance of power
MOSFETs, the gate-source threshold voltage or the drainsource on-resistance rDS(on) (:an be used in addition to
the on-voltages of the drain-source diode. Knowing the

off for the 300 JLS sense time. Drain current is set and
readily controlled by ID Control potentiometer Rl in the
gate-source, closed loop, regulator circuit (op-amp US).
During the sense interval, DUT power is turned off (02
is off, 03 is on) and the sense current IS is applied to the
now forward biased D-S diode by means of turned on
transistors 04 and 05. The resultant D-S diode voltage
can be observed by a scope or measured by the Sample
and Hold circuit consisting of series FET switch 06, buffer
amp U6, sample driver 07 and line synchronized, Delay
Monostable MV gates G2C and G2D. The Delay Control
of this MV allows the sample pulse to be positioned some
time after the start of the Sense time so as to measure
the settled voltage of the D-S diode, ignoring the possible
thermal and/or electrical switching transients on the leading edge of the sense pulse. This delay time is typically
50 JLS to 150 JLS.
Using similar sample-and-hold circuitry, the applied
power (VDS/10 and ID/l0) can be measured. This is accomplished by the respective FETs 08 and 09, sample
driver 010, buffer U3A and U3B and difference connected
op-amps U4A and U4B.

O-S Diode TSP
Generally, the most often used circuit for measuring
RruC of power MOSFETs uses the D-S diode. When
electronic switches S1 and S2are in position 1, the FET
is biased on and the heating power (VDSID) is applied to
the FET for a relatively long period. Then the switches
are thrown to position 2 for a short period of time (sense
time) so that the FET temperature will not change appreciably. Next, the FET is turned off and a constant current
1M (the same sense current at which the TSP was temperature calibrated) is applied to the forward biased D-S
diode. By measuring the forward voltage drop of the diode
and comparing it to the calibration curve, the FET junction
temperature can be asc.ertained. Knowing the input power
and the junction temperature, the thermal resistance can
be calculated. In practice, the input power, either voltage
or current, is varied until the D-S diode drop is equal to
a calibration pOint, thus simplifying the test procedure by
not having to generate a complete calibration curve.

Gate-Source Threshold Voltage TSP
This thermal resistance test circuit is extremely useful
for measuring RruC of GEMFETs since this device has
no parasitic diode. As in the D-S diode tester, heating
power is applied to the DUT when switch S1 is in position
1. Then, switch S1 is briefly thrown to position 2, applying
the sense current to the FET (lD at VGS(th» and the gatesource threshold voltage is measured. Input power (VDSIS) is varied to make VGS(th) equal to the elevated temperature, calibration reading resulting in a known junction
temperature and thus RruC.
Drain-Source On-Resistance
This circuit is conceptually similar to the D-S diode
tester. However, now when the switch is in position 2
(Sense Time), a positive constant current 1M and + 15 V
gate bias are applied to the device, turning it on. 1M should
be of a value to produce about 0.5 V VDS. The voltage
VDS measured (VM) is related to rDS(on) by:
rDS(on) = VM"M

Thermal Test Fixtures
D-S O;OOE THERMAL FIXTURE

RruC
The D-S diode Thermal Fixture, shown in Figure
11-27,is partially an implementation of the simplified circuit of Figure 11-26. It also contains circuitry for measuring
transient thermal resistance r(t) and the analogue circuits
for reading out the drain-source diode forward voltage and
input power (VDS and ID). Thermal resistance is measured when the Mode Selector Switch S1 is in position 1,
RruC. System timing is line synchronized and is derived
from the Schmitt trigger (gates G1A and GIS) shaping
circuit clocking the 300 JLS Sense Time Monostable Multivibrator (gatesG2A and G2B). Thus, the power MOSFET
DUT is turned on via the Drain Switch circuit (cascade
transistor 01 and 02) and unclamped gate transistor 03
for 8.0 ms (full-wave rectified line rate minus 300 /-Ls) and

Transient Thermal Resistance r(t)
Transient thermal resistance, r(t), is measured when
switch S1 is in position 2. Now the system timing is derived
by the 22 second astable MV (gates G1 C and G1 D) which
turns the DUT on and off for about 11 seconds each.
During the off time, cooling cycle, the voltage of the D-S
diode can be measured at any selected period of time.
This is accomplished by selecting the various resistorcapacitor timing components of the Delay MV, thus positioning the sample pulse accordingly. The six switchable
capacitors, by means of Selector Switch S2, will produce
the six time decades of control (100 JLS to 10 s) and the
three resistors (switch S3), the multipliers within the decade, e.g., 0.2, 0.5 and 1.0.
GATE THRESHOLD VOLTAGE VGS{th) THERMAL
FIXTURE
The Gate-Source Threshold Voltage (VGS(th» Thermal
Fixture, Figure 11-28, was specifically designed for measuring the thermal resistance of GEMFETs as this device
does not have a D-S diode. Since it detects temperature
induced variations in the gate-source threshold voltage,
it can also be used for power MOSFETs. Its line synchronization and current regulator loop around the gate
and source make it very similar to D-S Diode Thermal
Fixture. The major difference is the setting of the two
different drain currents (or source currents), the power
current, IS, and sense current 1M. This is accomplished
by switching two different reference voltages to the positive input of the loop regulator op-amp U3. As in any
regulator loop of this type, the voltage at the negative
input of the op-amp, as derived from the voltage drop
across the source sense resistor R1, will be driven by the
closed loop to a value equal to the reference input. Thus,
if a heating current, IS, of say 10 A is required, the reference voltage should be 3.0 V (10 A x 0.3 0). If a sense
currentiM of 10 mA is specified, VREF should be 3.0 mV.
Although most power MOSFETs are specified for a 1.0

mA drain current at VGS~h)' the 10 mA level was chosen
for measurement simpliCity; in reality, there is negligible
difference in the test results at either currents.
As in the D-S Diode Fixture, the system timing is line
synchronized by Schmitt Trigger U1A and U1B, whose
complementary outputs are used to clock the 370·!JS
sense MV (U1C and U1D), and the variable delay MV
(U1E and U1F)for the sample pulse. This type of line
synchronization offers several advantages: at high power
heating drain currents, It simplifies the oscilloscope viewing, particularly when the external power supplies are not
well regulated, and it is easily derived from one hex gate
CMOS IC MC14572.
During the 370 !JS sense time, the output of U1D is
high; thus, PNP Darlington, 01 is Off and the reference
voltage is determined solely by the voltage divider R2 (the
10 mA Set Control), R4 and R5. To set R2, switchS2 is
opened and the drain current is monitored for the required
10mA.

When U1 0 goes low for the approximate 8.0 ms power
cycle, 01 is tumed on, placing R3, the IS control, into the
reference voltage circuit. Consequently, the reference
voltage will be switched from the 3.0 mV sense voltage
to the IS control voltage.
During the sense time the magnitude of the gate-source
voltage, can be monitored with a scope or read out with
the sample-and-hold circuit consisting of FET series
switch 03, buffer amps U2A and U2B, sample driver 02
and delay MV U1E and U1F. Power to the OUT is then
varied, either VDS or 10, to make VGS(th) equal to the
calibrated value; thus, TJ and PIN are known and RruC
can be calculated (RruC = (TJp- TC).

2 - When inserting parts into a curve tracer, voltage
should not be applied until all terminals are solidly
connected in the socket.

Hard tooling is committed. Initially, or months, or even
years later, the equipment begins to fail as it comes off
the production line. Perhaps with less fortune, the equipment fails in the field. The reason, which is at first elusive,
boils down to the equipment requiring a combination of
non-reproducible characteristics in one or more of the key
components.
All too many people have been adversely affected by
just this kind of scenario. Yet, minimizing the risks associated with component selection is considerably easier
than might be expected. Guidelines for minimizing the
risks, with respect to power MOSFETs, are presented
here. In addition to general guidelines, a straightforward
method for determining safe operating safety margin is
highlighted. The discussion begins with statistical concepts.
Semiconductor components have three statistical populations which are relevant to the equipment designer.
They are:

I

1) Wafer lot

II

2) Wafer
3) Individual component
A wafer lot is a group of wafers which are processed
together. A typical example for switching power supply
output transistors is fifty wafers per lot and 100 transistors
per wafer, for a total of roughly 5,000 transistors per wafer
lot. The statistical considerations arise from the way semiconductors are batch processed in wafer lots. The cookie
analogy is a helpful illustration.
Suppose a baker has three groups of raw cookies. Each
group is sufficiently large to fully use available space in
the baking oven. The three groups are therefore baked
sequentially. The first group is slightly overdone and relatively dark. The second group comes out slightly underdone and very light. The third group turns out medium.
Lightness or darkness of the individual cookies will vary
somewhat within each group, but probably not by very
much. Variations in color are much more dependent upon
which group a cookie was baked in than which individual
cookie was chosen from a given group. A sample of cookies chosen from anyone group will poorly predict the
variations expected from the baking process.
Semiconductor characteristics vary in much the same
way. Many characteristics are far more dependent upon
the wafer lot in which a device is processed than upon
which individual device is chosen from a given wafer lot.
An illustration is shown in Figure 11-34.
Population densities for transistors in two different wafer
lots, curves A and A', are plotted on the same scale as
the wafer lot distribution for the same parameter. It is clear
that a sample selected from wafer lot A will poorly predict
the performance expected from transistors in lot A' . These
curves are typical of the way many transistor parameters
vary. They are also descriptive of batch processed components in general.
From an equipment design point of view, these characteristics have serious implications. The validity of a 100
piece design sample becomes questionable, when the
possibility that all 100 devices may be from the same wafer
lot is considered. In fact, the validity of using 100 devices,

Characterizing Power MOSFETs For
Unspecified Parameters
Although many modern data sheets characterize power
MOSFETs specifically for operation in power conversion
equipment, it is not practical to guarantee operation for
every conceivable set of operating conditions: Therefore,
equipment design frequently requires the use of power
MOSFETs in conditions for which they are not specified.
To compensate for the unknowns, use of a relatively large
design sample is common practice. A relatively large sample gives a feeling of statistical security. All too often, the
sample comes from transistors purchased in a single
group, with predictably unfortunate results. A common
scenario goes something like this.
DESIGN SCENARIO
The designer orders as many as 100 of each of the key
components to try in this equipment. He may simply verify
that the equipment performs satisfactorily, or he may attempt to do a wOrst case analysis based upon parametric
variations. Either way, it is believed that the 100 pieces
constitute a statistically conservative sample.
With performance and worst case analysis indicating
satisfactory performance, the design is finalized. Preproduction begins with components from the initial 100
piece order. Except for routine debugging, all goes well.

MOTOROLA TMOS POWER MOSFET DATA

A-16S

transistors from a number of different date codes. Here
are some suggestions.
1) Place several small orders sequentially in time.
2) Order from several different distributors, preferably
in more than one geographic location. Five 20 piece
shipments from five different distributors will cost
more than a single shipment of 100 pieces, but the
benefits dwarf the added expense.
3) Ask the manufacturer for assistance.
As a practical matter, it will generally be rather difficult
to obtain a sample with more than four or five wafer lots
represented. Since this is a relatively small sample, a
working knowledge of parameter variations is very helpful.
This is particularly true of Safe Operating Area (SOA)
which is presented here as a special case.

A

Safe Operating Area
Safe Operating Area is probably the most troublesome
of the unspecified parameters. Operation in unspecified
regions is difficult to avoid since it is not practical to guarantee the transistor for all conditions in which it can be
used. Usually, unspecified operation is related to the fact
that SOA curves are drawn for given circuit configurations
and _bias conditions. Operation in conditions other than
specified is not necessarily guaranteed. Therefore, it is
often easy to operate fully within the boundaries of an
SOA curve, yet be in an unspecified region because of
differences in circuit configuration or bias.
At times _like this, a straightforward test can be very
effective~ The steps are as follows:
1. Starting with the equipment in which the transistor
will operate, or a suitable test Circuit, raise the input
bus voltage to 1.25 x its worst case value. Test the
equipment for survivability. If any transistors in the
design sample fail, there is notenough safety margin. Future trouble is almost guaranteed. If none fail,
proceed to Step 2.
2. Raise the bus voltage to 1.33 x its worst case value.
Repeat the testing. If more than 50% of the sample
transistors survive, then SOA safety margin is probably more than adequate.
3. Recognize that worst case SOA stress, in switching
power conversion systems, will often occur at conditions other than full load and high temperature. It
is important to either choose conditions which maximize transistor stress, or cycle the equipment
through its mini-max load and temperature ranges.
Successful results will depend largely on attention
to test conditions. An example is noteworthy.
SOA stress is often maximized in the first or last
switching cycle, when the equipment is turned-on or
turned-off. Load lines for the first or last cycle often
have-larger excursions than steady state full load
operation. A single excursion to a high voltage is
usually more hazardous than operating at a lower
voltage on a continuous basis.
These steps are very effective at eliminating unwanted
surprises, provided transistors from at least three wafer
lots are included in the test. They form the same basic

FIGURE 11-34 - EXAMPLE PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTIONS

which are purchased all in one group, is more than questionable. For those parameters which are highly wafer lot
dependent, such a sample is, in effect, not a 100 piece
sample, but a one piece sample, since there is a very
high probability that only one wafer lot is represented.
The unfortunate circumstances in the opening scenario
are a direct result of a one piece wafer lot sample. The
one piece sample does not buy much statistical insurance.
Surprises are likely, since a false sense of security is
generated when it is believed that 100 physical units in a
design sample represent a 100 piece statistical sample.
The results are predictable and unpleasant for all concerned.
DESIGN SAMPLES
A key factor in top notch design work is obtaining statistically relevant samples of key components. With re"
spect to power transistors, this means including a number
of different wafer lots in the design sample. This task can
be seemingly difficult since, in general, the number of
wafer lots in a given sample is not known. However, the
minimum number of wafer lots in a sample can be determined by assuming that each date code consists of separate wafer lots. There may be many wafer lots in a date
code, but usually two date codes will not contain transistors from the same wafer lot.
Often, transistors have two date codes, one which corresponds to the time period in which they are tested and
the other which denotes the time period in which they
were assembled. The assembly -date code is by far the
more valuable of the two. As an example, Motorola
TO-204 transistors have a three-digit assembly date code
stamped on the ear. The first digit is coded to the year.
The second and third digits correspond to workweek. A
transistor built in the last workweek of 1982 would read
252.
Sample selection, then; hinges on being able to obtain

curves.

TABLE 2

General Guidelines
It is often of interest to obtain reasonable limits for parameters other than SOA. A discussion of expected variations is a good place to start.
Variations within a given sample are obvious. Of interest
here is the expected worst case variations over the life of
a multi-year production run. Table 2 gives an indication
of what can generally be expected for various parameters.
Measured mean values come from data taken on transistors in the design sample. They are normalized to 1.0
for ease of comparison. It is important to note that Table
2 applies only if at least three wafer lots are included in
the sample data.
Although some of the resulting tolerances may seem
rather large, they are realistic when production runs spanning a number of years are considered. It is far better to
face these numbers up front, than be surprised downstream with equipment failures.

Chapter 12: Reliability and Quality

!

A failure occurs when the leakage achieves such a high
level that the power dissipation causes the device to go
into a thermal runaway.
The leakage current of a stable device should remain
relatively constant, or increase slightly over the period of
the test, typically 1000 hours.
Typical conditions:
TA = 125·C on product ;;;. 500 V VOS
TA = 150·C on product .;; 500 V VOS
VOS = 80% of maximum rating
VGS = 0 (shorted)

Introduction
Quality and reliability are two essential elements in order for a semiconductor company to be successful in the
marketplace today. Quality and reliability are interrelated
because reliability is quality extended over the expected
life of the product.
Quality is: The assurance that a product will fulfill customers' expectations.
Reliability is: The probability that a product will perform
its intended function satisfactorily for a prescribed life under certain stated conditions.
In today's market, with customer expectations for better
and better quality and ever increasing reliability, the old
standards of quality and reliability are not acceptable.
For a manufacturer to remain in the semiconductor business at all, his product must inherently meet and exceed
~asic quality/reliability standards. Motorola, as the world's
largest supplier of semiconductors, has successfully
achieved inherent reliability that meets the most strenuous
applications and the most adverse environments. Motorola's TMOS products are no exception.
The quality and reliability of Motorola TMOS products
are achieved with a four step program:
1. Thoroughly tested designs and materials.
2. Stringent in-process controls and inspections.
3. Process average testing along with 100% quality
assurance redundant testing.
4. Reliability verifications through audits and reliability
studies.
These steps are detailed in the following pages to provide the reader with a greater insight into the quality and
reliability capabilities of Motorola TMOS products.

INTERMITTENT OPERATING LIFE:
(IOL OR POWER CYCLING) PER MIL-STD-750,
METHOD 1037.
The purpose of the IOL test is to determine the integrity
of the chip and/or package assembly to cycling on (device
thermally heated due to power dissipation) and cycling off
(device thermally cooling due to removal of power applied)
as is normally experienced in a "real world" environment.
OC power is applied to the device until the desired
function temperature Is reached. The power is then
switched off, and forced air cooling applied until the junction temperature decreases to ambient temperature.
~TJ = ~TC + RruCPd
~TJ = 1000C
(typically, which is an accelerated condition)

Motorola TMOS products are subjected to a series of
extensive reliability tests to verify conformance. These
tests are designed to accelerate the failure mechanisms
encountered in practical applications, thereby ensuring
satisfactory reliable performance in "real world" applications.
The follOWing describes the reliability tests that are routinely performed on Motorola's TMOS devices.

~TC = TC HIGH - TC LOW
The sequence is repeated for the specified number of
cycles. The temperature excursion is carefully maintained
for repeatability of results.
The Intermittent Operating Life test indicates the degree
of thermal fatigue of the die bond interface between the
chip and the mounting surface and between the chip and
the wire bond interface.
For TMOS devices, parameters used to monitor performance are thermal resistance, threshold voltage, onresistance, gate-source leakage current and drain-source
leakage current.
A failure occurs when thermal fatigue causes the thermal resistance or the on-resistance to increase beyond
the maximum value specified by the manufacturer's data
sheets.

HIGH TEMPERATURE REVERSE BIAS (HTRB) PER
MIL-STD-750, METHOD 1039:
The HTRB test is designed to check the stability of the
device under "reverse bias" conditions of the main blocking junction at high temperature, as a function of time.
The stability and leakage current over a period of time,
for a given temperature and voltage applied across the
junction, is indicative of junction surface stability. It is
therefore a good indicator of device quality and reliability.
For TMOS devices, voltage is applied between drain
and source, and lOSS is monitored. The gate is shorted
to the source, to prevent damage due to buildup of
charges on the gate.

TEMPERATURE CYCLE (TC) PER MIL-STD-750,
METHOD 1051:
The purpose of the Temperature Cycle Test is to determine the resistance of the device to high and low temperature excursions in an air medium and the effects of
cycling at these extremes.
The test is performed by placing the devices alternatively in separate chambers set for high and low temperatures. The air temperature of each chamber is evenly
maintained by means of circulation. The chambers have
sufficient thermal capacity so that the specified ambient
is reached after the devices have been transferred to the
chamber.

tained for a minimum of 24 hours (reliability evaluations
have demonstrated conclusively that particular epoxies
are very near hermetic). The devices are then removed
and air dried for a minimum of four hours and a maximum
of 24 hours before data is recorded.
Parameters that are usually monitored are leakage currents and voltage.

Each cycle consists of an exposure to one extreme
temperature for 15 minutes minimum, then immediately
transferred to the other extreme temperature for 15 minutes minimum; this completes one cycle. Note that it is
an immediate transfer between temperature extremes and
thereby stressing the device greater than non-immediate
transfer.
Typical Extremes
(Metal) TO-204 Package device: - 65/ + 200°C
(Plastic) TO-220 Package device: - 65/ + 150°C
The number of cycles can be correlated to the severity
of the expected environment. It is commonly accepted in
the industry that ten cycles is sufficient to determine the
quality of the device.

HIGH TEMPERATURE GATE BIAS (HTGB):
PER MIL-STD-750, METHOD 1039:
The HTGB test is designed to electrically stress the gate
oxide at the maximum rated dc bias voltage at high temperature. The test is designed to detect for drift caused
by random oxide defects and ionic oxide contamination.
For TMOS devices, a voltage of ± 20 V is applied between the gate-source. The drain is shorted to the source
which is at ground potential. Typical temperature, TA =
150°C, time = 168 hours ;;. t .;;; 1000 hours.
Any oxide defects present will lead to early device failure in the form of IGSS short.

Typical Cycles for ,Evaluations and Audits:
TO-204 and TO-220 devices: Minimum 100 cycles
TO-204 and TO-220 devices: Maximum 1000 cycles
Temperature cycling identifies any excessive strains set
up between materials within the device due to differences
in coefficients of expansion.
A failure occurs when there is a change in the device's
parameters beyond specified levels, or when a device
checks electrically as "open" or "short".

HIGH TEMPERATURE STORAGE LIFE (HTSL) TEST:
PER MIL-5TD-750, METHOD 1032.
The HTSL test is designed to indicate the stability of
the devices, their potential to withstand high temperatures
and the internal manufacturing integrity of the package.
Although devices are not exposed to such extreme high
temperatures in the field, the purpose of this test is to
accelerate any failure mechanisms that could occur during
long periods at storage temperatures.
The test is performed by placing the devices in a mesh
basket, then placed in a high temperature chamber at a
controlled ambient temperature, as a function of time. Typical conditions:
TA = 150°C on Plastic package
TA = 200·C on Metal package
t = 1000 hours

THERMAL SHOCK (TC) PER MIL-STD-750,
METHOD 1056:
The purpose of this test is to determine the resistance
of the device to sudden exposure to extreme changes in
temperature.
The test is performed by placing the devices in a mesh
basket, then alternatively immerse in baths of liquid (maintained at - 55°C and + 150°C). They are kept for thirty
seconds in each bath and immediately transferred to the
alternate bath.
This test produces sudden heating and cooling of the
device, and produces unusual stresses due to the short
term temperature gradients that are set up. It is cornmonly
accepted in the industry that five cycles is sufficient to
determine the quality qf the device.
A failure occurs when there is a change in the device's
parameters beyond specified levels, or when a device
checks electrically as "open" or "short".

HIGH HUMIDITY HIGH TEMPERATURE REVERSE
BIAS (H3TRB) TEST: PER MIL-STD-750, METHOD
1039.
The H3TRB test is designed to determine the resistance
of component parts and constituent materials to the combined deteriorative effects of prolonged operation in a high
temperature/high humidity environment. This test only applies to nonhermetic devices.
Humidity has been a traditional enemy of semiconductors, particularly plastic packaged devices. Most moisture
related degradations result, directly or indirectly, from penetration of moisture vapor through passivating materials,
and from surface corrosion. At Motorola, this former problem has been effectively addressed and controlled
through use of junction "passivation" process, die coating,
and proper selection of package materials.
For TMOS devices, voltage is applied between drain
and source. The gate is shorted to the source, to prevent
damage due to buildup of charges on the gate. The test
is performed in a chamber at 85 percent relative humidity
and 85°C. Typical time = 168 hours;;. t .;;; 1000 hours.

PRESSURE COOKER TEST (OR AUTOCLAVE
TEST):
The purpose of the "pressure cooker" test is to determine the resistance of the device to moisture by subjecting
it to relatively high steam pressure levels. This is only
performed on nonhermetic packages (I.e., plastic/epoxy
encapsulated devices), and not on hermetic packages
(I.e., metal can devices).
A "pressure cooker" providing a pressure of 15 pounds
per square inch over atmosphere is used (1 atmosphere
= 14.7 psig). A wire mesh tray is constructed inside to
keep the devices approximately two inches above the
surface of deionized water and to prevent condensed
water from collecting on them.
After achieving the working value, the pressure is main-

vices (plastic and metal TMOS) with a total of three
failures, which equates to equivalent device hours at 90°C
of 1.8 x 108 or 20 fits.' In terms of customer expectation,
this relates to a mean (average) time between failure of
5,723.4 years.
High Temperature Gate Bias (HTGB) checks the stability of the device under "gate bias" forward conditions
at accelerated high temperature, as a function of time.
This test is performed to electrically stress the gate oxide
to detect for drift caused by random oxide defect. This
failure mechanism appears in the infant and random
zones of the reliability "bath tub curve" at a very low rate
of defect. Motorola has processed 812 devices. (plastic
and metal TMOS) with a total of one failure, which equates
to equivalent device hours at 90°C of 2.4 x 107 or 68 fits.
In terms of customer expectation, this relates to a mean
(average) time between failures of 1,717.0 years..
Intermittent Operating Life (IOL) is an excellent accelerated stress test to determine the. integrity of the chip
and/or package assembly to cycling on (device thermally
heated due to power dissipation) and cycling off (device
thermally cooling due to removal of power applied). This
test is perhaps the most important test of all, along with
simulating what is normally experienced in a "real world"
environment. IOL exercises die bond, wire bonds, turning
on the device, turning off the device, relates the device
performance, and verifying the thermal expansion of all
materials are compatible. Motorola performs exten~ive
IOL testing as a continual process control monitor that
best relates to the "device system"" as a whole. Motorola
also performs extensive analysis and comparison of delta
junction temperatures. Motorola has determined that to
effectively stress the device a delta Tj of 100°C is necessary therefore, far exceeding many customers' application and beller determine the reliability modeling of the
device. Motorola has processed 6,429 devices (plastic
and metal TMOS) with a total of 2 failures, which equates
to actual device cycles of 2.3 x 107 or 115 fits. In terms
of customer expectation, this relates to a mean (average)
time between failures of 1,007.3 years.
Temperature Cycling (TC) is also an excellent stress
testlo determine the resistance of the device to high and
low temperature excursions in an air medium. Where IOL
electrically stresses the "device system" from internally,
temperature cycle stresses the "device system" thermally
from external environment conditions. Motorola has processed 14,149 devices (plastic and metal TMOS) .with a
total of zero failures, which equates to actual device cycles
of 9.4 x 105 or 800 fits. In.terms of customer expectation,
this mean (average) time between failures of 143.1 years.
High Temperature Storage Life (HTSL), High Humidity
Temperature Reverse Bias (H3TRB), Thermal Shock (TC)
and "Pressure Cooker" (Autoclave) are routinely tested,
however it is felt by Motorola Reliability Engineering that
HTRB, HTGB, IOL and TC are the most important tests

Every manufacturing process exhibits a quality and reliability distribution. This distribution must be controlled to
assure It high mean value, a narrow range and a consistent shape. Through proper design and process control
this can be accomplished, thereby reducing the task of
screening programs which allemptlo eliminate the lower
tail of the distribution.
ACCELERATED STRESS TESTING
The nature of some tests in this report is such that they
far exceed that which the devices would see in normal
operating conditions. Thus, the test conditions "accelerate" the failure mechanisms in question and allow
Motorola to predict failure rates in a much shorter amount
of time than otherwise possible. Failure modes that are
temperature dependent are characterized by the Arrhenius model.

enon along with the associated failure modeling. Through
proper failure identification and modeling, Motorola's Reliability engineers can effectively calculate meaningful failure rates.

AUDIT PROGRAM
Motorola has maintained a real time process control
audit program for a number of years since entering the
TMOS marketplace. The audit is continually expanding
and being refined, through short and long-term stress testing. The concept of Motorola's real time short-term stress
testing is to detect infant mortality defects, failure modeling through identification of failure mode/mechanism,
and data base generation that verifies all process controls
are effective. Once these defects are highlighted in the
audit testing, the system requires rapid corrective action
so that problems are kept within the factory and are not
sent to the customer. The concept of the long-term stress
testing is to detect random failure and wear out phenom-

AVERAGE OUTGOING QUALITY (AOQ)
With the industry trend to average outgoing qualities
(AOO) of less than 100 ppm, the role of device final test,
and final outgoing quality assurance have become a key
ingredient to success. At Motorola, all parts are 100%
tested to process average limits then the yields are monitored closely by product engineers, and abnormal areas
of fallout are held for engineering investigation. Motorola
also 100% redundant tests all DC parameters again after

associated with the first test. Prior to shipping, the parts

Essentials of Reliability:
Paramount in the mind of every semiconductor user is
the question of device performance versus time. After the
applicability of a particular device has been established,
its effectiveness depends on the length of trouble free
service it can offer. The reliability of a device is exactly
that - an expression of how well it will serve the customer.
Reliability can be redefined as the probability of failure
free performance, under a given manufacturer's specifications, for a given period of time. The failure rate of
semiconductors in general, when plotted versus a long
period of time, exhibit what has been called the "bath tub
curve" (Figure 12-1).

to A2 tables. The number of rejects is a critical factor since
the definition of rejects often differs between manufacturers. Due to the increasing chance of a test not being
representative of the entire population as sample size and
test time are decreased, the A2 calculation produces surprisingly high values of A for short test durations even
though the true long term failure rate may be quite low.
For this reason relatively large amounts of data must be
gathered to demonstrate the real long term failure rate.
Since this would require years of testing on thousands of
devices, methods of accelerated testing have been developed.
Years of semiconductor device testing has shown that
temperature will accelerate failures and that this behavior
fits the form of the Arrhenius equation:

RELIABILITY MECHANICS
Since reliability evaluations usually involve only samples of an entire population of devices, the concept of the
central limit theorem applies and a failure rate is calculated
using the A2 distribution through the equation:

The Arrhenius equation states that reaction rate increases exponentially with the temperature. This produces a straight line when plotted on log-linear paper with

The confidence limit is the degree of conservatism desired in the calculation. The central limit theorem states
that the values of any sample of units out of a large population will produce a normal distribution. A 50% confidence limit is termed the best estimate, and is the mean
of this distribution. A 90% confidence limit is a very conservative value and results in a higher A which represents
the point at which 90% of the area of the distribution is to
the left of that value (Figure 12-2).

There are seven factors which determine the power
dissipation capability of a given package and they are:
Attachment, Power Dissipation, Package Orientation, Still
Free Air, Ambient Temperature, Lead Length (if applicable), and TJ(max).
One of the chief variables is mounting attachments. For
maximum power dissipation, it is helpful if the electrical
connection to the terminal which will permit the greatest
heat removal be as massive as possible. For a metal
package, it would be the case and for a plastic package
lead mounted, it would be the drain lead for a power
MOSFET.

mounted such that the sink or the board is providing total
support for the semiconductor. Two possible arrangements are shown.in Figure 13-11. The arrangement of
part (a) could be used with any plastic package, but the
scheme of part (b) is more practical with Case 77. With
the other package types, mounting the transistor on top
of the heat sink is more practical.

The pins and lugs of metal-packaged devices are not
designed for any bending or stress. If abused, the glassto-metal seals could crack. Wires may be attached using
sockets, crimp connectors, or solder, provided the data
sheet ratings are observed.
The leads and tabs of the plastic packages are more
flexible ,and can be reshaped, although this is not a recommended procedure for users to 'do. In some cases, a
heat sink can be chosen which makes lead-bending unnecessary. Numerous lead- and tab-forming options are
available from Motorola. Preformed leads remove the risk
of device damage caused by bending from the users.

In certain situations, in particular where semiconductor
testing is required, sockets are desirable. Manufacturers
have provided sockets for all the packages available from
Motorola. The user is urged to consult manufacturers'
catalogs for specific details.

If, however, lead-bending is done by the user, several
basic considerations should be observed. When bending
the lead, support must be placed between the point of
bending and the package. For forming small quantities of
units, a pair of pliers may be used to clamp the leads at
the case, while bending with the fingers or another pair
of pliers. For production quantities, 'a suitable fixture
should be made.
The following rules should be observed to avoid damage to the package.

1. A lead-bend radius greater than 1/16 inch is advisable for the TO-225M and 1/32 inch for TO-220.
2. No twisting of leads should be done at the case.
3. No axial motion of the lead should be allowed with
respect to the case.
The leads of plastic packages are not designed to withstand excessive axial pull. Force in this direction greater
than four pounds may result in permanent damage to the
device. If the mounting arrangement imposes axial stress
on the leads, a condition which may be caused by thermal
cycling, some method of strain relief should be devised.
An acceptable lead-forming method that provides this relief is to incorporate an S-bend into the lead. Wire wrapping of the leads is permissible, provided that the lead is
restrained between the plastic case and the point of the
wrapping. The leads may be soldered; the maximum soldering temperature, however, must not exceed 275°C and
must be applied for not more than five seconds at a distance greater than 1/8 inch from the plastiC case. When
wires are used for connections, care should be exercised
to assure that movement of the wire does not cause movement of the lead-to-plastic junctions.

Cleaning Circuit Boards

TJ = TC+ R6JC x Po

It is important that any solvents or cleaning ctiemicais
used in the process of degreasing .or flux removal do not
affect the reliability of the devices.
Alcohol and unchlorinated Freon solvents are generally
satisfactory for use with plastic devices, since they do not
damage the package. Hydrocarbons such as gasoline
may cause the encapsulant to swell, possibly damaging
the transistor die. Likewise, chlorinated Freon solvents are
unsuitable, sinoe they may cause the outer package to
dissolve and swell.
When using an ultrasonic cleaner for cleaning circuit
boards, care should be taken with regard to ultrasonic
energy and time of application. This is particularly true if
the packages are free-standing without support.

Thermal System Evaluation
Assuming that a suitable method of mounting the semiconductor without incurring damage has been achieved,
it is important to ascertain whether the junction temperature is within bounds.
In applications where the power disSipated in the semiconductor consists of pulses at a low duty cycle, the instantaneous or peak junction temperature, not average
temperature, may be the limiting condition. In this case,
use must be made of transient thermal resistance data.
For a full explanation of its use, see Motorola Application
Note, AN-SS9.
Other applications including switches driving highly reactive loads, may create severe current crowding conditions which render the traditional concepts of thermal resistance or transient thermal impedance invalid. In this
case,transistor safe operating area must be observed.
Fortunately, in many applications, a calculation of the
average junction temperature is sufficient: It is based on
the concept of thermal resistance between the junction
and a temperature reference point on the case. (See Appendix A) A fine thermocouple should be used, such as
#32AWG, to determine case temperature. Average operating junction temperature can be computed from the
following equation:

where
TJ = junction temperature (0C)
TC = case temperature (0C)
R6JC = thermal resistance junction-to-case as
specified on the data sheet (OC/W)
PO= power dissipated in the device (W).
The difficul.ty in applying the equation often lies in determining the power dissipation. Two commonly used empirical methods are graphical integration and substitution.
Graphical Integration
Graphical integration may be performed by taking oscilloscope pictures of a complete cycle of the voltage and
current waveforms, using a limit device. The pictures
should be taken with the temperature stabilized. Corresponding points are then read from each photo at a suitable number of time increments. Each pair of voltage and
current values are multiplied together to give instantaneous values of power. The results are plotted on linear
graph paper, the number of squares within the curve
counted, and the total divided by the number of squares
along the time axis. The quotient is the average power
dissipation.
Substitution
This method is based upon substituting an easily measurable, smooth dc source for a complex waveform. A
switching arrangement is provided which allows operating
the load with the device under test, until it stabilizes in
temperature. Case temperature is monitored. By throwing
the switch to the "test" pOSition, the device under test is
connected to a dc power supply, while another pole of the
switch supplies the normal power to the load to keep it
operating at full power level. The dc supply is adjusted so
that the semiconductor case temperature remains approximately constant when the switch is thrown to each
position for about 10 seconds. The dc voltage and current
values are multiplied together to obtain average power. It
is generally necessary that a Kelvin connection be used
for the device voltage measurement.

APPENDIX A
THERMAL RESISTANCE CONCEPTS
The basic equation for heat transfer under steady-state
conditions is generally written as:
q = hMT
(1)
where q = rate of heat transfer or power dissipation
(PO),
h = heat transfer coefficient,
A = area involved in heat transfer,
.1.T = temperature difference between regions
of heat transfer.
However, electrical engineers generally find it easier to
work in terms of thermal resistance, defined as the ratio
of temperature to power. From Equation 1, thermal resistance, Ro, is
RO = .1.T/q = 1/hA
(2)
The coefficient (h) depends upon the heat transfer mechanism used and various factors involved in that particular
mechanism.
An analogy between Equation (2) and Ohm's Law is
often made to form models of heat flow. Note that .1.T
could be thought of as a voltage; thermal resistance corresponds to electrical resistance (R); and, power (q) is
analogous to current (I). This gives rise to a basic thermal
resistance model for a semiconductor as indicated by Figure A1.

The equivalent electrical circuit may be analyzed by
using Kirchoff's Law and the following equation results:
TJ = PO(Rruc + RoCS + ROSA) + TA
(3)
where
TJ = junction temperature,
Po = power dissipation,
RruC
semiconductor thermal resistance
ijunction to case),
RoeS
interface thermal resistance (case to
heat sink),
ROSA = heat sink thermal resistance (heat
sink to ambient),
TA = ambient temperature.
The thermal resistance junction to ambient is the sum
of the individual components. Each component must be
minimized if the lowest junction temperature is to result.
The value for the interface thermal reSistance, RoeS, Is
affected by the mounting procedure and may be significant compared to the other thermal-resistance terms.
The thermal resistance of the heat sink is not constant;
it decreases as ambient temperature increases and is
affected by orientation of the sink. The thermal resistance
of the semiconductor is also variable; it is a function of
biasing and temperature. In some applications such as in
RF power amplifiers and short-pulse applications, the concept may be invalid because of localized heating in the
semiconductor chip.

The switching safe operating area (SOA) of Figure 9,
is the boundary that the load line may traverse without
incurring damage to the MOSFET. The fundamental lim·
its are the peak current, 10M and the breakdown voltage,
V(BR)OSS' The switching SOA shown in Figure 9 is applicable for both turn-on and turn-off of the devices for
switching times less than one microsecond.
The power averaged over a complete switching cycle
must be less than:

FORWARD BIASED SAFE OPERATING AREA
The dc data of Figures 8 and 10 are based on a case
temperature (TC) of 25°C and a maximum junction
temperature (TJmax) of 150°C. The actual junction
temperature depends on the power dissipated in the
device and its case temperature. For various pulse
widths. duty cycles. and case temperatures. the peak

The switching safe operating area (SOA) of Figure 9,
is the boundary that the load line may traverse without
incurring damage to the MOSFET. The, fundamental limits are the peak current, 10M and the breakdown voltage,
V(BR)OSS. The switching SOA shown in Figure 9 is applicable for both turn-on and turn-off of the devices for
switching times less than one microsecond.
The power averaged over a complete switching cycle

The dc data of Figures 8 and 10 are based on a case
temperature (TC) of 25°C and a maximum junction
temperature (TJmax) of 150°C. The actual junction
temperature depends on the power dissipated in the
device and its case temperature. For various pulse
widths, duty cycles, and case temperatures, the peak
allowable drain current (10M) may be calculated with
the aid of the following equation:

FORWARD BI,ASED SAFE OPERATING AREA

SWITCHING SAFE OPERATING AREA

The dc data of Figure 9 is based on a case temperature (Te) of 25'C and a maximum junction temperature
(TJmax) of 150'. The actual junction temperature de·
pends on the power dissipated in the device and its
case temperature. For various pulse widths, duty cycles,
and case temperatures, the peak allowable drain current
(10M) may be calculated with the aid of the following
equation:

The switching safe operating area (SSOA) of a GEMFET device is a composite function of gate turn-off time,
inductive clamp voltage (Vcl) and device junction temperature (TJ). Figure 10 illustrates that 10 is 30 A for Vcl
.. 250 V and TJ .. 87.5'C, and for Vcl .. 500 V and TJ
.. 62.5'C. Additionally, it is seen that for a peak drain
current of 24 A, TJ must be maintained less than 118'C
for Vel = 250 V, and less than 106'C for Vcl = 500 V,
TJ may be calculated from the equation:
TJ = TC

= 10(25'C)[TJ(maXI - TC]

Po . ReJC . r(t)

+

Po·Rruc·r(t)

where
Po is the power averaged over a complete switching
cycle.
Generally, SSOA current declines with decreasing
gate turn-off time, Gate turn-off time is controlled by
RG; lowering RG decreases gate turn-off time. A !lug'
gested rule-of-thumb is to derate the 10 of Figure Hi by
2.5 A for every 1100 ohms of RG below 4.0 kG for case
temperatures greater than 55'C.

where
10(25'C) = the dc drain current at TC = 25'C from
Figure 9·
TJ(max)= rated maximum junction temperature
TC
= device case temperature
Po
= rated power dissipation at TC = 25'C
RruC
= rated steady state thermal resistance
r(t)

GUARANTEED SAFE OPERATING AREA
The de data presented in Figures 12 and 13 is for a
single one second pulse. applied while maintaining the
case temperature TC at 25·C. For multiple pulses and
case temperatures other than 25°C. the de drain current
at a case temperature of 25°C should be de-rated as
follows:
I (T) = I (250C) [ 150 - TC ]
o
0
Po • RruC • r(tl
where Po is the maximum power rating at 25°C. RruC
is the junction-to-case thermal resistance. and r(t) is the
normalized thermal response from Figure 15. corresponding to the appropriate pulse width and duty cycle.
EXAMPLE: Determine the maximum allowable drain
current for an MTESON18 at 25 volts drain voltage. with
a pulse width of 10 ms and duty cycle of 50%. at a case
temperature of 800C.

From Figure 13. the dc drain current at VOS = 25
volts is 10 A. For a 10 ms pulse and duty cycle of 50%.
Figure 15 gives an r(tl of O.S; then. with Po = 250 watts
at 25°C and RruC = 0.5 °CIW.

I = 10 x
150 - 80
= 9.33 A
250 x 0.5 x O.S
o
The switching safe operating area in Figure 14 is the
boundary that the load line may traverse without incurring damage to the device. The fundamental limits
are the maximum rated peak drain current '0M. the
minimum drain-to-source breakdown voltage VSR(OSSI
and the maximum rated junction temperature. The
boundaries are applicable for both turn-on and turn-off
of the devices for rise and fall times of less than one
microsecond.

Note 4 Even with good RF layout and ideal clamping
below the maximum V(BR)DSS of the device,
significant potentials may be generated across
the package drain and source parasitic inductances during rapid turn off of a large magnitude
of current. These induced voltages which are
internal to the package add to the clamp voltage. Therefore, to protect· the chips from excessive voltage, the diD/dt must be limited in
accordance to the peak voltage seen across the
terminals. of the device. The MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE dioldt must be limited in accordance
to the peak VDS appearing at the device terminals as shown in Figure 18.
For applications requiring slower switching !lpeeds,
increasing the gate drive impedance will increase the
switching times. This can be accomplished by adding
a resistor in series with the gate.

Monitoring VDS by observing the potential that appears across the drain header (package heat sink) and
the source sense terminal gives the best indication of
the potential appearing at the chip. Due to the source
and drain bus inductances, sensing VDS across the
drain and source terminals may yield a significantly
lower resu It.
Regardless of where VDS is measured, at very large
dioldt's the package inductance (e.g., the source wirebonds) will induce drain-source voltages at the die that
are greater than those observable externally. To guard
against excessive voltages, VDS should be monitored
across the drain header and source sense terminal, and
the maximum allowable dioldt should be derated in
accordance with the pack VDS as shown in Figure 18.

\

\

1/
:;-10%

Note 4 Even with good RF layout and ideal clamping
below the maximum V(BR)DSS of the device,
significant potentials may be generated
across the package drain and source parasitic
inductances during rapid turn off of a large
magnitude of current. These induced voltages, which are internal to the package, add
to the clamp voltage.

FIGURE 18 - MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE dioJdt

!

tdv-I

Note 3 Since most "real world" loads are inductive,
the fast turn-off peak flyback voltage (e =
L dildt) must not exceed the VBR(DSS) rating, an instantaneous voltage limit. The protective circuitry, including parasitics, must
have response times commensurate with
the Power MOSFET switching speed, e.g.,
rectifiers must have very short recovery
times. The forward recovery time tfr' overshoot voltage VFM(DYN) and reverse recovery time trr should be low to minimize the
switching stress on the transistor.

Note 1 As in any wideband circuit, good RF layout
techniques must be maintained, i.e., short
lead lengths, adequate ground planes and
decoupled power supplies.

The dc data of Figure 9 is based on a case temperature
(TC) of 25'C and a maximum junction temperature
(TJmax) of 150', The actual junction temperature depends on the power dissipated in the device and its case
temperature. For various pulse widths, duty cycles, and
case temperatures, the peak allowable drain current
(10M) may be calculated with the aid of the following
equation:

SWITCHING SAFE OPERATING AREA
The switching safe operating area (SOA) of Figure 10
is the boundary that the load line may traverse without
incurring damage to the MOSFET. The Fundamental
limits are the peak current, 10M and the breakdown
voltage, V(BR)DSS. The switching SOA shown in Figure
10 is applicable for both turn-on and turn-off of the
devices for switching times less than one microsecond.
The power averaged over a complete switching cycle
must be less than:

TMOS POWER FET CONSIDERATIONS
devices due to voltage build-up on the input capacitor due to
leakage currents or pickup.

Switching Speed - The switching speeds of these devices are
dependent on the driving impedance. Extremelyfastswitching
speeds can be attained bydriving the gate from a voltage source.

Gate Protection - These devices do not have an internal
monolithic zener diode from gate to source. The addition of an
internal zener diode may result in detrimental effects on the
reliability of a power MOSFET.lf gate protection is required, an
external zener diode is recommended.

Transfer Characteristics - The transfer characteristics are
linear at drain currents of 500 rnA. (See Figure 6.) Linear ampli·
fiers with high frequency response can be designed using this
product.

Handling and Packaging - MOS ICs are susceptible to damage
from electrostatic charge. Experience has shown that these
devices are more rugged than MOS les. This is primarilydue
to the comparatively larger capacitances associated with
power devices, however, reasonable precautions in handling
and packaging MOS devices should be observed.

Gate Voltage Rating - Never exceed the gate voltage rating
of ±20 V. Exceeding the rated VGS can result in permanent
damage to the oxide layer in the gate region.
Gate Termination - The gate of these devices are essentially
capacitors. Circuits that leave the gate open-circuited or floating
should be avoided. These conditions can result in turn-on of the

(TJmax) of 150°. The actual junction temperature depends on the power dissipated in the device and its case
temperature. For various pulse widths, duty cycles, and

(10M) may be calculated witl) the aid of the following
equation:

The switching safe operating area (SOA) of Figure 10

TMOS POWER FET CONSIDERATIONS
Switching Speed - The switching speeds of these devices are
dependent on the driving impedance. Extremely fast switching
speeds can be attained by driving the gate from a voltage source.

devices due to voltage build-up on the input capacitor due to
leakage currents or pickup.
Gate Protection - These devices do not have an internal
monolithic zener diode from gate to source. The addition of an
internal zener diode may result in detrimental effects on the
reliability of a power MOSFET. If gate protection is required, an
external zener diode is recommended.

Transfer Characteristics - The transfer characteristics are
linear at drain currents of 500 rnA. (See Figure 6.1 Linear amplifiers with high frequency response can be designed using this
product.
Gate Voltage Rating -

Never exceed the gate voltage rating

Handling and Packaging - MOS ICs are susceptible to damage

of ±20 V. Exceeding the raled VGS can result in permanent

from electrostatic charge. Experience has shown that these
devices are more rugged than MOS ICs. This is primarily due
to the comparatively larger capacitances associated with
power devices, however, 'reasonable precautions in handling

damage to the oxide layer in the gate region.
Gate Termination - The gate of these devices are essentially
capacitors. Circuits that leave the gate open-circuited or floating
should be avoided. These conditions can result in turn-on of the

and packaging MOS devices should be observed.

TMOS POWER FET CONSIDERATIONS
Switching Speed - The switching speeds of these devices are
dependent on tlie driving impedance. Extremely fast switching
speeds can be attained by driving the gate from a voltage source,
Transfer Characteristics - The transfer characteristics are
linear at drain currents of 500 mA, (See Figure 6.) Linear amplifiers with high frequency response can be designed using this
product,
Gate Voltage Rating - Never exceed the gate voltage rating
of ±20 V, Exceeding the rated VGS can result in permanent
damage to the oxide layer in the gate region.
Gate Termination - The gate of these devices are essentially
capacitors. Circuits that leave the gate open-circuited or floating
should be avoided. These conditions can result in turn-on of the

devices due to voltage build-up on the input capacitor due to
leakage currents or pickup.
Gate Protection - These devices do not have an internal
monolithic zener diode from gate to source. The addition of an
internal zener diode may result in detrimental effects on the
reliability of a power MOSFET. If gate protection is required, an
external zener diode is recommended.
Handling and Packaging - MOS ICs are susceptible to damage
from electrostatic charge. Experience has shown that these
devices are more rugged than MOS ICs. This is primarily due
to the comparatively larger capacitances associated with
power devices, however, reasonable precautions in handling
and packaging MOS devices should be observed,

FORWARD BIASED SAFE OPERATING AREA
The dc data of Figure 9 is based on a case temperature
(Te) of 25°C and a maximum junction temperature
(TJmax) of 150°. The actual junction temperature depends on the power dissipated in the device and its case
temperature. For various pulse widths, duty cycles, and
case temperatures, the peak allowable drain current
(10M) may be calculated with the aid of the following
equation:

SWITCHING SAFE OPERATING AREA
The switching safe operating area (SOA) of Figure 10
is the boundary that the load line may traverse without
incurring damage to the MOSFET. The Fundamental
limits are the peak current, 10M and the breakdown
voltage, V(BR)OSS' The switching SOA shown in Figure
10 is applicable for both turn-on and turn-off of the
devices for switching times less than one microsecond.
The power averaged over a complete switching cycle
must be less than:

FORWARD BIASED SAFE OPERATING AREA
The dc data of Figure 9 is based on a case temperature
(TC) of 25°C and a maximum junction temperature
(TJ(max)) of 150°. The actual junction temperature depends on the power dissipated in the device and its case
temperature. For various pulse widths, duty cycles, and
case temperatures, the peak allowable drain current
(10M) may be calculated with the aid of the following
equation:

SWITCHING SAFE OPERATING AREA
The switching safe operating area (SOA) of Figure 10
is the boundary that the load line may traverse without
incurring damage to the MOSFET. The fundamental limits are the peak current, 10M and the breakdown voltage,
V(BR)OSS' The switching SOA shown in Figure 14 is
applicable for both turn-on and turn-off of the devices
for switching times less than one microsecond.
The power averaged over a complete switching cycle
must be less than:

TMOS POWER FET CONSIDERATIONS
Switching Speed - The switching speeds of these devices are dependent on the driving impedance. Extremely fast switching speeds can be attained by driving
the gate from a voltage source.

build-up on the input capacitor due to leakagecurrents
or pickup.
Gate Protection - These devices do not have an internal monolithic zener diode from gate to source. The
addition of an internal zener diode may result in detrimental effects on the reliability of a power MOSFET. If
gate protection is required, an external zener diode is
recommended.

Transfer Characteristics - The transfer characteristics
are linear at drain currents of 500 mAo (See Figure 6.)
Linear amplifiers with high frequency response can be
designed using this product.
Gate Voltage Rating - Never exceed the gate voltage
rating of ±20 V. Exceeding the rated VGS can result in
permanent damage to the oxide layer in the gate region.

Handling and Packaging - MOS ICs are susceptible to
damage from electrostatic charge. Experience has
shown that these devices are more rugged than MOS
ICs. This is primarily due to the comparatively larger
capacitances associated with power devices, however,
reasonable precautions in handling and packaging MOS
devices should be observed.

Gate Termination - The gate of these devices are essentially capacitors. Circuits that leave the gate opencircuited or floating should be avoided. These conditions can result in turn-on of the devices due to voltage

The dc data of Figure 9 is based on a case temperature
(TC) of 25°C. and a maximum junction temperature
(TJmax) of 150°. The actual junction temperature depends on the power dissipated in the device and its case
temperature. For various pulse widths, duty cycles, and
case temperatures, the peak allowable drain current
(10M) may be calculated with the aid of the following
equation:

SWITCHING SAFE OPERATING AREA
The switching safe opprating area (SOA) of Figure 10,
is the boundary that the load line may traverse without
incurring damage to the MOSFET. The fundamentallimits are the peak current, 10M and the breakdown voltage,

TMOS POWER FET CONSIDERATIONS
build-up on the input capacitor due to leakage currents
or pickup.

Switching Sileeci - The switching speeds of these devices are dependent on the driving impedance. Extremely fast switching speeds can be attained by driving
the gate from a voltage source.

Gate Protection - These devices do not have lin internal monolithic zener diode from gate to source. The
addition of an internal zener diode may result in detrimental effects on the reliability of a power MOSFET. If
gate protection is required, an external zener diode is
recommended.

Transfer Characteristics - The transfer characteristics
are linear at drain currents of 500 mA. (See Figure 6.)
Linear amplifiers with high frequency response can be
designed using this product.
Gate Voltage Rating - Never exceed the gate voltage
rating of ±20 V. Exceeding the rated VGS can result in
permanent damage to the oxide layer in the gate region.

Handling and Packaging - MOS ICs are susceptible to
damage from electrostatic charge. Experience has shown
that these devices are more rugged than MOS ICs. This
is primarily due to the comparatively larger capacitances associated with power devices, however, reasonable precautions in handling and packaging MOS
devices should be observed.

Gate Termination - The gate of these devices are essentially capacitors. Circuits that leave the gate opencircuited or floating should be avoided. These conditions can result in turn-on of the devices due to voltage

FORWARD BIASED SAFE OPERATING AREA
The de data of Figures 13 and 14 is based on a case
temperature (TC) of 25°C and a maximum junction temperature (TJmax) of 150°. The actual Junction temperature depends on the power dissipated in the device
and its case temperature. Fo.r various pulse widths, duty
cycles, and case temperatures, the peak allowable drain
current (10M) may be calculated with the aid of the following equation:
.
IO(250 C)[TJ(maXI - TC]
Po . RIJJC . r(t)

where
IO(25°C) = the de drain current at TC = 25°C from
Figures 13 and 14.

SWITCHING SAFE OPERATING AREA
The switching safe operating area (SOA) of Figure 15
is the boundary that the load line may traverse without
incurring damage to the MOSFET. The fundamental
limits are the peak current, 10M and the breakdown
voltage, V(BR)OSS' The switching SOA shown in Figure
15 is applicable for both turn-on and turn-off of the
devices for switching times less than one microsecond.

TMOS POWER FET CONSIDERATIONS
Switching Speed - The switching speeds of these devices are
dependent on the driving impedance. Extremely fast switching
speeds can be attained by driving the gate from a voltage source.
Transfer Characteristics - The transfer characteristics are
linear at drain curren'ts of 500 rnA. (See Figure 6.) Linear amplifiers with high frequency response can be designed using this
product.
Gate 'Voltage Rating - Never exceed the gate voltage rating
of ±20 V. Exceeding the rated VGS can result in permanent
damage to the oxide layer in the gate region.
Gat8 Termination - The gate of these devices are essentially
capacitors. Circuits that leave the gate open-circuited or floating
should be avoided. These conditions can result in turn-on of the

devices due to voltage build-up on the input capacitor due to
leakage currents or pickup.

Gate Protection - These devices do not have an internal
mOr1t;Jlithic zener diode from gate to source. The addition of an
internal zener diode may result in detrimental effects· on the
reliability of a power MOSFET. If gate protection is required, an
external ,zener diode is recommended.
Handling and Packaging - Mo.S ICs are susceptible to damage
from electrostatic charge. Experience has shown that these
devices are more rugged than MOS ICs. This is primarily due
to the comparatively larger capacitances associated with
power devices, however, reasonable precautions in handling
and packaging MOS devices should be observed.

SWITCHING SAFE OPERATING AREA

The dc data of Figure 9 is based on a casetemperature
(Te) of 25°C and a maximum junction temperature
(TJmax) of 150°. The actual junction temperature depends on the power dissipated in the device and its case
temperature. For various pulse widths, duty cycles, and
case temperatures, the peak allowable drain current
(10M) may be calculated with the aid of the following
equation:

The switching safe operating area (SOA) of Figure 10
is the boundary that the load line may traverse without
incurring damage to the MOSFET. The Fundamental
limits are the peak current, 10M and the breakdown
voltage, V(BR)OSS' The switching SOA shown in Figure
10 is applicable for both turn-on and turn-off of the
devices for switching times less than one microsecond.
The power averaged over a complete switching cycle
must be less than:

IO(25'C)[TJ(max) - TC]
Po . RWC . r(t)

TJlmax) - TC

IO(25°C) = the dc drain current at TC = 25'C from

The dc data of Figure 13 is based on a case temperature (TC) of 25°C and a maximum junction temperature
(TJmax) of 150°, The actual junction temperature de:
pends on the power dissipated in the device and its case
temperature. For various pulse widths, duty cycles, and
case temperatures, the peak allowable drain current
(10M) may be calculated with the aid of the following
equation:
IO(250C)[TJ(max) - TC]

SWITCHING SAFE OPERATING AREA
The switching safe operating area (SOA) of Figure 14
is the boundary that 'the load line may traverse without
incurring damage to the MOSFET. The Fundamental
limits are the peak current, 10M and the breakdown
voltage, V(BR)OSS. The switching SOA shown in Figure
14 is applicable for both turn-on and turn-off of the
devices for switching times less than one microsecond.
The power averaged over a complete switching cycle
must be less than:
TJ(max) - TC
R/lJC

TMOS POWER FET CONSIDERATIONS
Switching Speed - The switching speeds of these devices are
dependent on the driving impedance. Extremely fast switching
speeds can be attained by driving the gate from a voltage

of the devices due to voltage build-up on the input capacitor
due to leakage currents or pickup.

source.

Gate Protection - These devices do not have an internal monolithic zener diode from gate to source. The addition of an
internal zener diode may result in detrimental effects on the
reliability of a power MOSFET. If gate protection is required,
an external zener diode is recommended.

Transfer Characteristics - The transfer characteristics are linear at drain currents of 500 rnA. (See Figure 6.) Linear amplifiers with high frequency response can be designed using this
product.
Gate Voltage Rating - Never exceed the gate voltage rating
of ±20 V. Exceeding the rated VGS can result in permanent
damage to the oxide layer in the gate region.

Handling and Packaging - MOS ICs are susceptible to damage
from electrostatic charge. Experience has shown that these
devices are more rugged than MOS ICs. This is primarily due
to the comparatively larger capacitances associated with
power devices, however, reasonable precautions in handling
and packaging MOS devices should be observed.

Gate Termination - The gate of these devices are essentially
capacitors. Circuits that leave the gate open-circuited or floating should be aVOided., These conditions can result in turn-on

The dc data of Figures 11 and 12 is based on a case temperature (TC) of 25°C a nd a maximum I unction temperature (TJmax)
of 150°C. The actual junction temperature depends on the power
dissipated in the device and its case temperature. For various
pulse widths. duty cycles. and case temperatures. the peak
allowable drain current (10M) may be calculated with the aid of
the following equation:

TMOS POWER FET CONSIDERATIONS
Switching Speed - The switching speeds of these devices are
dependent on the driving impedance. Extremely fast switching
speeds can be attained by driving the gate from a voltage source.

Transfer Characteristics - The transfer characteristics afe
linear at drain currents of 2.5 Amps. (See Figure 6.) Linear amplifiers with high frequency response can be designed using this
product:
Gate Voltage Rating - Never exceed the gate voltage rating
of ±20 V. Exceeding the rated VGS can result in permanent
damage to the oxide layer in the gate region.
Gate Termination - The gate of these devices are essentially
capacitors. Circuits that leave the gate open-circuited or floating
should be avoided. These conditions can result in turn-on of the
devices due to vortage build-up on the input capacitor due to
leakage currents or pickup.

Gate Protection - These devices do not have an internal
monolithic zener diode from gate to source. The addition of an
internal zener diode may result in detrimental. effects on the
reliability of a power MOSFET. If gate protection is required, an
external zener diode is recommended.
Handling and Packaging - MOS les are susceptible to damage
from electrostatic charge. Experience has shown that these
devices are more rugged than MOS ICs. This is primarily due
to the comparatively larger capacitances associated with
power devices, however, reasonable precautions in handling
and packaging MOS devices should be observed.

TMOS POWER FET CONSIDERATIONS
devices due to voltage buildMup on the input capacitor due to
leakage currents or pickup.

Switching Speed - The switching speeds of these devices are
dependent on the driving impedance. Extremely fast switching
speeds can be attained by driving the gate from a voltage source.

Gate Protection - These devices do not have an interne:.,
monolithic· zener diode from gate to source. The addition of an
internal zener diode may result in detrimental effects on the
reliability of a power MOSFET. If gate protection is required. an
external zener diode is recommended.

Transfer Characteristics - The tra oster characteristics are
lineer at drain currents of 0.5 Amp.ISee Figures 5 and 6_I.Linear
amplifiers with high frequency response can be designed using
this product.

Handling and Packaging - MOS ICs are susceptible to damage
from electrostatic· charge. Experience has shown that these
devices are more rugged than MOS les. This is primarily due
to· the comparatively larger capacitances associated with
power devices, however, reasonable precautions in handling
and packaging MOS devices should be observed.

Gat. Voltage Rating -' Never exceed the gate voltage. rating
of·±20 V. Exceeding the rated VGS can result in permanent
damage to the oxide layer in the gale region.

Gate Termination - The gate of these devices are essentially
capacitors. Circuits that leave the gate open-circuited or floating
should be avoided. These conditions can result in turn·on Of the

The de data of Figures 12 and 13 is based on a case temperature
(Te) of 75°C and a maximum junction temperature (TJmax) of
1500 . The actual junction temperature depends on the power
dissipated in the device and its case temperature. For various
pulse widths, duty cycles, and case temperatures. the peak allowable drain current (10M) may be calculated with the aid of the
following equation:

TMOS POWER FET CONSIDERATIONS
Switching Speed - The switching speeds of these devices are
dependent on the driving impedance. Extremely fast switching
speeds can be attained by driving the gate from a voltage source.

devices due to voltage build·up on the input capacitor due to
leakage currents or pickup.
Gate Protection - These devices do not have an internal
monolithic zener diode from gate to source. The addition of an
internal zener diode may result in detrimental effects on the
reliability of a power MOSFET. If gate protection is required, an
external zener diode is recommended.

Transfer Characteristics - The transfer characteristics are
linear at drain currents of 0.5 Amp. (See Figures 5 and 6.) Linear
amplifiers with high frequency response can be designed using
this product.
Gate Voltage Rating - Never exceed the gate voltage rsting
of ±20 V, Exceeding the rated VGS can result in permanent
damage to the oxide layer in the gate region.

Handling and Packaging - MOS ICs are susceptible to damage
from electrostatic charge. Experience has shown that these
devices are more rugged than MOS ICs. This is primarily due
to the comparatively larger capacitances associated with
power devices. however. reasonable precautions in handling
and packaging MOS devices should be observed.

Gate Termination - The gate of these devices are essentially
capacitors. Circuits that leave the gate open-circuited or floating
should be avoided. These conditions can result in turn-on of the
