PowerFLEX packaging designed for auto needs

TI's PowerFlexª packaging meets automotive needs with high-heat dissipation in space-constrained applications. The surface mount power packages for power ICs are designed to be low-cost and compatible with most existing assembly equipment. Their low profile, thermally enhanced PowerFLEX design makes them the package of choice for space- and cost-sensitive applications that also require high power dissipation capabilities.

The low-profile PowerFlex family is available in 3-, 5-, 7-, 9-, 14- and 15-pin configurations, each with specific technical capabilities. In addition, TI offers the family in both surface mount and through-hole lead configurations.
