Industry Leading Low On Resistance 80 V MOSFET For Automotive
The MOSFET features low package resistance, inductance, and a high avalanche current capability, making it highly suitable for automotive applications.
Infineon Technologies has unveiled the IAUCN08S7N013, the inaugural product in its innovative OptiMOS 7 80 V power MOSFET series. This advanced technology MOSFET is engineered for exceptional power density and is housed in the versatile, durable, and high-current SSO8 5 x 6 mm² SMD package. The series is ideally suited for emerging 48 V board net applications and is tailored for the rigorous demands of automotive applications, including electric vehicle (EV) DC-DC converters, 48 V motor control for systems such as electric power steering (EPS), 48 V battery switches, and electric two- and three-wheelers.
The key features include:
- RDS(on) reduced > 50% from prior best
- Industry’s best RDS(on)
- Industry’s best FOM (RDS(on) x Qg)
- Fast switching times (turn on/off)
- Low package resistance and inductance
- High avalanche current capability
- High SOA ruggedness
- Excellent thermal performance
- Extended qualification beyond AEC-Q101
- Enhanced electrical testing
- MSL1 up to 260°C peak reflow
- 175°C operating temperature
It has a more than 50 per cent reduction in RDS(on) compared to its predecessor, achieving an industry-leading maximum of 1.3 mΩ. This improvement results in minimized conduction losses, superior switching performance, and unparalleled power density in a compact 5 x 6 mm² package. It also surpasses the AEC-Q101 standard with an extended qualification for enhanced reliability and performance in demanding automotive environments.
Its design maximises power density while maintaining a small footprint, allowing for efficient cooling.
