Nexperia has announced its new AEC-Q101-qualified 100-V MOSFETs that deliver ultra-low conduction losses, targeting thermally demanding 48-V automotive applications such as on-board chargers, traction inverters, and battery management systems. These CCPAK MOSFETs also benefit two- and three-wheel e-mobility, DC/DC converters, and industrial high-current modules that require high efficiency and thermal reliability.

Housed in CCPAK1212 copper-clip packaging for low electrical and thermal resistance, these devices deliver ultra-low conduction losses with on-resistance (R_DS(on)) as low as 0.99 mΩ, and enable safe current above 460 A. Other features include up to 1.5-kW power ratings and best-in-class safe operating area (SOA) performance.

Nexperia attributes the ultra-low R_DS(on) to a combination of Nexperia’s proprietary copper-clip CCPAK1212 package and next-generation 100-V AEC-Q101 trench silicon platform. These features deliver high current capability, high power density, and a best-in-class SOA rating of up to 400 A at 100 V.

As the automotive industry moves from 12-V to 48-V subsystems it is critical to minimize conduction losses in these high-power applications. Designers typically connect several MOSFETs in parallel to meet these performance needs, but it can increase component count and board space, Nexperia said.

The CCPAK1212 MOSFETs reduce the need for parallel-connected devices with their ultra-low on-resistance, the company added, and can save up to 40% PCB space compared to traditional TOLL- or TOLT-packaged alternatives.

These MOSFETs, housed in a 12 × 12-mm package, are available in two cooling options—the bottom-side cooled CCPAK1212 and the inverted top-side cooled CCPAK1212i—for greater design flexibility. This enables engineers to optimize their layouts and thermal management for their system designs.
