Toshiba MOSFETs for automotive applications

10 oct. 2022

Adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles in the United States continues to grow rapidly, with well over 50% more models being sold in 2021 vs. 2020. Aside from having four tires that touch the ground, EVs are quite a bit more advanced than their IC predecessors, utilizing innovative power circuits and controls. In this article from Toshiba, learn about new power MOSFETs for these modern automotive applications, including 48V battery systems.

Toshiba offers an extensive lineup of power MOSFETs for various automotive applications including 48V battery systems. The combination of low ON-resistance and advanced package technology makes Toshiba's power MOSFETs an ideal solution for reducing system losses, thereby contributing to energy-saving in automotive applications. All MOSFETs on this leaflet are qualified to AEC-Q101 or are under AEC-Q101 qualification.

Reduced R_ONA due to the small-geometry trench process

Copper (Cu) connector bonding
Copper (Cu) connectors are used instead of conventional aluminum wire bonding in all the MOSFETs mentioned in this flyer. Copper connectors contribute to the reduction of the package resistance and inductance.

Double-sided cooling
The DSOP advance (WF) double-sided cooling packages fit the same footprint as the SOP advance (WF). Due to the greatly-reduced thermal resistance, the maximum load can be increased considerably. Alternatively, the MOSFET temperature can be reduced to increase long-term reliability.
