Nexperia launches new LED drivers in a unique, space-saving package

By Michelle Froese October 14, 2020

Nexperia, a semiconductor provider, has announced a new range of LED drivers in the space-saving DFN2020D-6 (SOT1118D) package. This case style features side-wettable flanks (SWF) that facilitate the use of automated optical inspection (AOI), and improve reliability. This is the first time LED drivers have been available in this beneficial package.

The AEC-Q101-qualified DFN2020D-6 devices save up to 90% PCB space.

The new lead-less devices join Nexperia’s wide range of LED drivers in leaded packages offering performance while reducing PCB space by up to 90% when compared to the SOT223.

With a footprint of just 2×2 mm and a low profile of 0.65 mm, the new DFN2020D-6 LED drivers are available in NPN and PNP technology. They feature an output current of up to 250 mA (NCR32x types) and a maximum supply voltage of 75 V. Their high thermal-power capability is at least equal to any other package for LED drivers.

“Nexperia is committed to deliver industry’s broadest discrete portfolio in DFN technology, so introducing LED drivers in this rugged, space-saving package is a natural step. However, parts are also available in leaded SMD styles so customers can choose which to use,” said Frank Matschullat, product group manager at Nexperia.

The use of side-wettable flanks not only enables AOI techniques to be used — which is especially important for automotive customers — but also improves reliability. Devices with side-wettable flanks exhibit a greater resistance to shear forces, and can handle greater board flexing without cracking than devices without side-wettable flanks.

“The new DFN2020D-packaged parts with SWF address the concerns of various sectors – size, performance, ruggedness – so they are a perfect match for many diverse applications in general lighting, white goods and automotive,” added Matschullat.
