Enhanced Automotive MOSFETs Improve Switching Efficiency

The latest MOSFETs from Infineon have been specifically designed and optimized for a wide range of automotive applications, both current and future. These applications include electric power steering, braking systems, power switches in new zone architectures, battery management, e-fuse boxes, DC/DC converters, and BLDC drives in various 12 V and 48 V electrical system applications. Moreover, they are also well-suited for other transportation applications such as light electric vehicles (LEV), e2wheelers, eScooters, eMotorcycles, and commercial and agricultural vehicles (CAV).

According to Axel Hahn, Senior Vice President and General Manager Automotive LV MOSFETs at Infineon, "As a technology leader in power semiconductors, Infineon is committed to shaping the future technology standards in automotive power MOSFETs. We focus on power efficiency, innovative and robust power packaging with high quality. Our diverse product portfolio addresses all customer requirements to drive the development of modern automotive applications."

Infineon's new OptiMOS 7 technology combines 300 mm thin-wafer technology and innovative packaging to deliver significant performance advantages across all available voltage classes. The components are now offered in various rugged automotive power packages, including Single SSO8 (5×6), Dual SSO8 (5×6), mTOLG (8×8), and sTOLL (7×8). This family of products boasts high power density and energy efficiency, featuring the industry's lowest on-state resistance in a compact form factor. For instance, a device with 1.3 mΩ maximum on-state resistance in a single SSO8 (5×6) 80-V package. These MOSFETs also provide reduced switching losses, improved Safe Operating Area (SOA) robustness, and high avalanche current capability, facilitating highly efficient system design for future automotive applications.

The OptiMOS 7 products are now available in robust automotive power packages in 40 V, 80 V, and 100 V variants, including Dual SSO8 (5×6), Single SSO8 (5×6), mTOLG (8×8), and sTOLL (7×8) packages. This wide range of options ensures that Infineon's customers can find the right solution for their specific needs and requirements.
