Infineon introduces the new OptiMOS 7 40V MOSFET family for automotive applications, which improves on-resistance, switching efficiency and design robustness

     Infineon Technologies introduces the OptiMOS 7 40V MOSFET family. As Infineon's latest generation of power MOSFETs for automotive applications, the OptiMOS 7 40V MOSFETs offer a variety of pin-free, robust power packages. The 300-mm thin wafer technology and innovative package offer significant performance advantages over other devices in miniature packages. This makes the new MOSFETs ideal for all standard and future automotive 40V MOSFETs applications, such as electric power steering systems, braking systems, disconnect switches and new regional architectures. OptiMOS 7 series products are also available for battery management, electronic fuse boxes, and DC-DC and BLDC drivers.

     Axel Hahn, Senior Vice President of the Automotive MOSFET product line at Infineon Technologies, said: "The OptiMOS 7 40V MOSFET family will set a new benchmark in terms of power density, current capability and chip durability. The series uses leading-edge technology to deliver superior efficiency and power in a compact design. These semiconductor devices offer superior power density and energy efficiency while offering the lowest on-resistance in the industry."

     The new OptiMOS family reduces switching losses and improves safety workspace (SOA) robustness and high avalanche current capability. As such, they contribute to the design of efficient automotive applications in the future. The device family is available in a variety of rugged vehicle-grade power packages, including TDSON-8, HSOF-5, HSOF-8 and top-cooled packages. Thanks to its compact form factor, the series significantly reduces space requirements while increasing system efficiency. In addition, the new products can improve cooling while reducing system costs. With these devices, designers can easily design high-quality products and applications.
