Infineon Technologies Launches New OptiMOS™ 7 40V MOSFET Family for Automotive Applications, Improving Switching Efficiency and Design Robustness

Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) introduces the OptiMOS™ 7 40V MOSFET family. As Infineon's latest generation of power MOSFETs for automotive applications, the OptiMOS™ 7 40V MOSFETs are available in a variety of leadless, rugged power packages. The 300 mm thin wafer technology and innovative packaging provide significant performance advantages over other devices in micro-packages. This makes the new MOSFETs ideal for all standard and future automotive 40V MOSFET applications, such as electric power steering, brake systems, disconnect switches and new regional architectures. The OptiMOS 7 family can also be used for battery management, electronic fuse boxes, as well as DC-DC and BLDC drives.

“The OptiMOS 7 40V MOSFET family will set new standards in power density, current capability and chip robustness,” said Axel Hahn, Senior Vice President of the Automotive MOSFET Product Line at Infineon Technologies. “The family uses leading-edge technology to deliver excellent efficiency and power in a compact design. These semiconductor devices offer outstanding power density and efficiency while featuring the industry’s lowest on-resistance.”

The new OptiMOS family of products reduces switching losses and improves the robustness of the safe operating area (SOA) and high avalanche current capability. As a result, they contribute to the design of future efficient automotive applications. The device family is available in a variety of rugged automotive-grade power packages, including TDSON-8, HSOF-5, HSOF-8 and top-cooled packages. Thanks to the 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 products and applications with excellent quality.
