Smart Power Stage

Smart Power stage consist of Driver IC and 2 MOSFETs into one QFN

In AI and server Smart Power stage, form factor and heat dissipation are important

Single Cu Clip side-by-side QFN module

  • Wire bonded Driver IC + Cu Clip for MOSFETs
  • Side-by-side Driver IC + 2x MOSFETs
  • 3x DAPs (for Driver IC + 2x MOSFETs)
  • QFN 5×5 & 5×6 are popular packages

Stack-on-Clip QFN Module

  • Stacked Driver IC on MOSFETs Cu Clip
  • 2x DAPs (for 2x MOSFETs) -> smaller body
  • 3QFN 4×5 and 4×6 offer space saving for high density power
