Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FDD8880 is the direct substitute for the obsolete FDD6680A. Both devices are manufactured by onsemi within the PowerTrench® series and share identical voltage ratings, package configuration, and thermal operating range.

Selection Basis:

The FDD8880 maintains active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts carry REACH Unaffected compliance status and MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, indicating equivalent environmental and handling requirements.

Electrical performance between the two devices is compatible for direct substitution. The FDD8880 demonstrates marginally improved on-resistance (9 mOhm versus 9.5 mOhm) and lower input capacitance (1260 pF versus 1425 pF), resulting in enhanced switching efficiency. The continuous drain current at Tc is slightly higher (58A versus 56A), providing additional thermal headroom in high-current applications.

Gate charge specification differs between the parts (31 nC at 10V for FDD8880 versus 20 nC at 5V for FDD6680A), reflecting measurement conditions at different gate voltages. Gate threshold voltage is lower for the FDD8880 (2.5V versus 3V), indicating faster turn-on characteristics.

For applications currently using the FDD6680A, the FDD8880 provides equivalent or superior performance across all critical parameters without circuit modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FDD8880 directly replace the FDD6680A in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both devices share identical Vdss (30V), package type (TO-252AA), operating temperature range (-55°C to 175°C), and Vgs maximum rating (±20V). Electrical performance is compatible for direct substitution without circuit redesign.

Q: What are the key differences between FDD6680A and FDD8880?

A: The FDD8880 is the active production equivalent. Primary differences include: FDD8880 has lower on-resistance (9 mOhm versus 9.5 mOhm), lower input capacitance (1260 pF versus 1425 pF), lower gate threshold voltage (2.5V versus 3V), and higher continuous drain current at Tc (58A versus 56A). Gate charge is specified at different measurement conditions (31 nC @ 10V versus 20 nC @ 5V).

Q: Are the packages identical?

A: Yes. Both the FDD6680A and FDD8880 use the TO-252-3 (DPAK) surface mount package with 2 leads plus tab configuration. Pin-to-pin compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What is the product status difference?

A: The FDD6680A is classified as obsolete, while the FDD8880 is active. The FDD8880 is recommended for new designs and ongoing production to ensure supply availability.
