– The 40V MXT MOSFET
with RDS(on) as
low as 1.4mΩ enables effective kinetic energy recovery in
cars
SEOUL,
South Korea, June 12,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Magnachip Semiconductor
Corporation ("Magnachip" or "Company") (NYSE: MX) announced today
that the Company has begun mass production of its new 40V MXT
Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor
(MOSFET)1 for automotive energy recovery systems.
This product is used in the automobile of a global automaker.
An automotive energy recovery system stores a vehicle's kinetic
energy while braking and uses the recovered energy for functions
such as air conditioning or audio systems afterwards. Therefore,
this feature improves fuel economy and reduces emissions.
Built on a Power Dual Flat No-lead (PDFN) 56 package with
enhanced design of the core cells and terminations, the 40V MXT
MOSFET (AMDU040N014VRH) offers
RDS(on)2 as low as 1.4mΩ to enhance the
efficiency of kinetic energy recovery. In addition, a guaranteed
operating junction temperature up to 175°C and a high level of
avalanche ruggedness increase the power density and efficiency of
the energy recovery system.
With the application of the PDFN56 package, the size of this new
MOSFET was reduced by approximately 80%, as compared to other 40V
MOSFET products designed with a Decawatt Package (DPAK). As a
PDFN56 package is widely used in the automotive sector, the new
product is well-suited for various applications such as reverse
voltage protection circuits and brushless direct current motors of
internal combustion engines and regenerative braking systems of
electric vehicles.
"We are pleased to deliver another innovative automotive power
solution, which is fully AEC - Q101 qualified for its performance
and stability," said YJ Kim, CEO of Magnachip. "Leveraging our
heritage of innovative technology, Magnachip will continue to
develop premium products that satisfy the diverse and changing
market requirements of the automotive market."
1 MXT MOSFET (Magnachip eXtreme Trench MOSFET):
Magnachip's cutting-edge product portfolio of trench MOSFETs,
including low and medium voltage (12V to 200V) MOSFETs
2 RDS(on): On resistance, the resistance
between the drain and the source of MOSFETs during on-state
operation
