HEXFET® Chip-Set for DC-DC Converters
• N Channel Application Specific MOSFETs
• Ideal for Mobile DC-DC Converters
• Low Conduction Losses
• Low Switching Losses
• Lead-Free
Description
These new devices employ advanced HEXFET
Power MOSFET technology to achieve an
unprecedented balance of on-resistance and gate
charge. The reduced conduction and switching losses
make them ideal for high efficiency DC-DC
Converters that power the latest generation of mobile
microprocessors.
A pair of IRF7807 devices provides the best cost/
performance solution for system voltages, such as 3.3V
and 5V .

Power MOSFET Selection for DC/DC
Converters
Control FET
Special attention has been given to the power losses
in the switching elements of the circuit - Q1 and Q2.
Power losses in the high side switch Q1, also called the
Control FET , are impacted by the R
but these conduction losses are only about one half of
the total losses.
