NexFET Power Block ICs
Texas Instruments NexFET Power Block ICs are optimized driver ICs with Dual NexFET MOSFETs used in the devices. This delivers higher efficiency in a typical high current POL design. These devices use half the PCB area versus other discrete 3x3 QFN package MOSFETs, which improves power density. With ultra-low Qg & Qgd, these devices enable a higher switching frequency with up to double frequency for the same power loss versus competitor's devices. This feature provides improved transient response for fewer output capacitors that will be needed. There is a size reduction, by up to 1/2, for the output filter (caps & inductor). Texas Instruments NexFET Power Block ICs come with a unique ground pad lead frame and pinout, which simplifies the customer's layout and improves operating and thermal performance.
