Nexperia Automotive DFN Packages
Nexperia Automotive Discretes Flat No-leads (DFN) Packages are AEC-Q101 qualified leadless packages with side-wettable flanks that help save space and minimize weight while ensuring these component performances and efficiency, especially at high temperatures. These automotive DFN packages feature ultra-compact footprints and are available in the variants of diodes, bipolar transistors, MOSFETs, and ESD circuit protection devices. Typical applications include general industrial lighting, consumer portable electronics, automotive lighting systems, and communication system.
Nexperia Automotive DFN Packages with Diodes
Nexperia Automotive DFN Diodes feature leadless ultra-small plastic package with side-wettable flanks suitable for surface-mounted design. The DFN packages with Zener diodes offer wide nominal working voltage ranging from 2.4V to 75V and are qualified according to AEC-Q101 recommended for use in automotive applications. Automotive DFN packages with MEGA Schottky barrier rectifier consist of an integrated guard ring for stress protection and help in excellent thermal and electrical conductivity.
Nexperia Automotive DFN with MOSFETs
Nexperia Automotive DFN MOSFETs feature trench MOSFET technology with side-wettable flanks for optical solder inspection. These MOSFETs are AEC-Q101 qualified and are available as P-channel type or N-channel type with voltages ranging from 20V to 80V. These automotive DFN MOSFET packages are applicable in relay drivers, high-speed line drivers, high-side load switches, and switching circuits.
Nexperia Automotive DFN with ESD Circuit Protection
Nexperia Automotive DFN ESD Protection diode is designed to protect one signal line from the damage caused by ESD and other transients. These circuit protection ESDs are housed in a leadless ultra-small DFN1006BD-2 (SOD882BD) Surface-Mounted Device (SMD) plastic package with side-wettable flanks (SWF). Nexperia Automotive DFN ESD Protection diodes are AEC-Q101 qualified and can be used in computers and peripherals, audio and video equipment, cellular handsets, portable electronics, and communication systems.

The old saying goes “think outside the box”, well while this may help engineers find new solutions, Nexperia decided to go the other way, and thought inside the box with their Automotive DFN packages. Not a product by itself, the Automotive DFN package is used across Nexperias range of automotive-grade components ranging from diodes to transistors, providing engineers with a compact and reliable IC footprint. The DFN packages shrink common components down in size considerable, which not only reduces the final weight, but also allows for PCBs to be made smaller (or add more parts). In addition to their smaller size, they are able to stay cooler when operating at the same power as larger footprints such as SOT23, and this allows them to operate at higher powers. At the same time, the use of side wettable flanks allow AIO systems to check that the parts have been soldered correctly (something which is hard to do with under-package soldered parts).
