Field-Effect Transistors (FETs) are an essential piece of semiconductor components that are used in numerous applications and are found everywhere in the technology we use today. The IXFX32N100P is a single N-Channel Power MOSFET, one of a family of similar FETs made by IXYS Corporation. This application note will explain its typical application, basic design principles, and its characteristic parameters.

The IXFX32N100P is a single N-Channel FET with a drain-source current-to-voltage ratio of 100A/50V, making it suitable for use in many power applications. Typically, this FET is used in switched mode power supplies, DC-DC converters, high-power gridbias amplifiers, general-purpose switching applications, and more. It has a maximum drain-source voltage of 100V and a maximum gate-source voltage of 10V, with a maximum drain current of 32A and a maximum on-state resistance of 0.04Ω. This FET also has an impressive gate charge of 110nC and a gate-drain leakage current of 1µA. These characteristics make the IXFX32N100P well-suited for a range of power applications.

The IXFX32N100P is also known for its low noise operation due to its high transconductance and its low on-resistance. This feature allows the FET to drive higher currents efficiently and quietly, and eliminates the need for additional noise-filters in the design. This makes it especially attractive for audio applications, where high current and low noise are both important requirements.

Working with power MOSFETs such as the IXFX32N100P requires understanding of the basic principles of FETs and the design considerations of the required application. FETs are three-terminal devices in which the current flowing between the drain and source is controlled by a voltage applied to the gate. As the voltage on the gate increases, the channel of current between drain and source is opened and the FET will be “on”; as the voltage on the gate decreases, the channel is closed, and the FET is “off”. It is important to ensure that the gate voltage never exceeds the maximum allowed, to prevent damage to the FET.

Design considerations for the IXFX32N100P include correct selection of power supply voltage, switching frequency, gate drive voltage, and load current. The load current and the drain voltage should be kept within the specified limits in the data sheet. As a rule of thumb, the peak-to-peak drain voltage should be no more than 1/3 of the drain-source voltage rating, and the maximum load current should be no more than 2/3 of the maximum drain current rating. The other important consideration is the gate drive voltage, which should be high enough to ensure sufficient gate control. The gate-source voltage should also not exceed the specified maximum voltage.

In summary, the IXFX32N100P is an ideal choice for power applications due to its high current-to-voltage ratio, low on-resistance, low gate charge, and low gate-drain leakage current. Careful design considerations must be taken into account when selecting this FET for a particular application, to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
