With rapidly evolving requirements, there is a pressing demand for smaller footprints now prevalent throughout most markets for electronic products. Space-saving, thermally efficient, and robust semiconductor packages are needed for transistors and diodes. And while for many product generations, designers have relied on established packages like the SOT23 and SMA families, we see the high performing clip-bond and leadless package outlines such as CFP and DFN clearly winning on value for money. These packages provide significant product diversity, covering single/dual configurations, thereby simplifying board design. CFP and DFN are suitable for a wide range of applications, including automotive, industrial, consumer, and computing applications.
Join us as we look at the space-saving components that are empowering automotive electrification and industrial advancements and the transition to power density packaging that is now underway.

Blog series: How to choose the right package
A device's internal structure strongly affects the thermal resistance of different semiconductor packages, as do different operating conditions. To ensure circuits' safe and reliable operation and decide for the most appropriate package, designers need to understand thermal parameters and heat dissipation pathways. The blog series “Thermal considerations” guides through different semiconductor package types and the ‘thermal characteristics’ sub-section of the datasheet.
