The **MAH75FAX-R** is a high-performance, high-voltage Power MOSFET commonly used in industrial power supplies, motor controllers, and DC-DC converters. It is designed to handle high current loads while maintaining efficiency through low on-resistance. --- ### 1. Key Technical Specifications Below are the typical electrical characteristics for this component class: | Parameter | Symbol | Typical Value | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Drain-Source Voltage** | $V_{DSS}$ | 75V - 80V | | **Continuous Drain Current** | $I_D$ | 75A - 120A (Package dependent) | | **Static Drain-Source On-Resistance** | $R_{DS(on)}$ | < 10 mΩ | | **Gate-Source Voltage** | $V_{GS}$ | ±20V | | **Operating Temperature** | $T_j$ | -55°C to +175°C | --- ### 2. Internal Electronic Structure The part is based on **Trench MOSFET technology**. Unlike planar MOSFETs, the trench architecture allows for a higher density of cells on the silicon die, which results in: * **Reduced $R_{DS(on)}$:** Lower heat dissipation during the "ON" state. * **Lower Gate Charge ($Q_g$):** Faster switching speeds and reduced drive requirements. * **Avalanche Ruggedness:** Ability to handle inductive energy spikes without immediate failure. --- ### 3. Application Circuits In electronic design, the MAH75FAX-R is typically integrated into the following configurations: #### A. Power Switching (Low Side) The MOSFET acts as a switch between the load and the ground. ```cpp // Logic representation of a PWM Switch void setup() { pinMode(GATE_PIN, OUTPUT); } void loop() { // High efficiency switching at 20kHz analogWrite(GATE_PIN, 128); } ``` #### B. Synchronous Rectification Used in the secondary side of an AC-DC power supply to replace diodes, significantly reducing voltage drop and increasing energy efficiency. --- ### 4. Thermal Management Because this part handles high current (up to 75A+), thermal design is critical. 1. **Package:** Usually housed in a **TO-220** or **TO-263 (D2PAK)** for superior heat dissipation. 2. **Heatsinking:** Must be mounted to a metal heatsink or a large PCB copper plane. 3. **Thermal Resistance ($R_{\theta JC}$):** Typically very low (approx. 0.5 - 1.2 °C/W), allowing heat to move quickly from the junction to the case. ---
