new power mosfets from IXYS ...

Linear power MOSFETs offer improved power dissipation

Any takers? Maybe Nelson has already played with them and passed judgement ?

sorry, couldn't resist.

From the linked press release:
Typical applications include linear power supplies, class A amplifiers, electronic loads, programmable resistors and motor control.

Sounds like a part practically made to order. Sadly I wouldn't have the bandwidth to try to build anything until at least the second Tuesday next week.

No real information there...

Looks pretty good, except the input capacitance is a little higher than the IR parts.

Those have been listed for at least a couple of months. I stumbled across them by accident a while back while looking at FREDs. The last time I looked, they do not offer P-ch parts. That's not a problem if you intend to build something like an Aleph variant, but it does kinda put the kibosh on any push-pull dreams you might have been nursing.
(No, I haven't tried them yet--no opinion at this time.)

I'm testing right now mosfet's in a 90 A application (TO220!) and IXYS is a gem here. Very pure switching compared to IR, Thomson etc.

Do you have some source and some price?
