No, you are right, D2Pak (To-263) has a larger die than SO8-FL, but SO8-FL has a larger die than DPAK (TO-252)

However, SO8-FL has larger silicon-footprint ratio than D2Pak

The DirectFET is a great package -- but IRF silicon sucks. (Infineon is releasing some DirectFET mosfets soon...)

TRY it! It's VERY complex! If it wasn't complex, there would be a lot more companies doing this ... the hardware is (relatively) easy.

Big ones. :)

Now you know WHY I get pissy about sensors. All that work I've gone through in the last year to make something that works WORSE than what we already have. Bleah.
