Whether it is in the cloud or at the edge, we truly live in a 24/7 world. So much of our daily lives depend on rack-based computers, communications and storage systems that are always-on. Ensuring these systems do not experience any power disruption and to protect the components on replacement boards when they are inserted into a live system, it is essential that in-rush current is carefully controlled. In normal MOSFETs, strong SOA and low RDS(on) are mutually exclusive. Offering both capabilities in a single device, Nexperia’s specific MOSFETs for Hotswap and Soft Start are optimized for a non-stop world.
