Power Master Semiconductor (PMS) announced the release of its new AEC-Q101 qualified 1200V eSiC MOSFET in a D2PAK-7L package, designed to revolutionize power electronics in electric vehicles (EVs). PMS’s automotive-grade 1200V eSiC MOSFET offers superior efficiency, high power density, high reliability, and enables bi-directional operation, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of automotive applications, including on-board chargers (OBCs), DC-DC converters, and e-compressors.
The automotive industry is rapidly transitioning towards electrification, driven by the growing demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly transportation solutions. This shift has created a surge in demand for high-performance power electronics that can meet the stringent requirements of EV applications. Bi-directional operation is the key trend for the on-board chargers (OBCs) applications to meet V2L (Vehicle to Load), V2G (Vehicle to Grid), V2V (Vehicle to Vehicle), and V2H (Vehicle to Home appliance).
Therefore, the topology of OBCs is moving to Totem-pole PFC + CLLC or DAP resonant converter from Interleaved CCM PFC or Dual boost bridgeless PFC + LLC resonant converters. Larger battery capacity and faster charging demands are driving 800V battery systems for BEV application.
The automotive grade 1200V eSiC MOSFET is an optimized solution for the e-compressor, an indispensable power conversion system for efficient thermal management that increases battery life, charging efficiency, and driving range, and maintains a comfortable environment. It is also optimized for Totem-Pole PFC and CLLC/DAB (Dual Active Bridge) topologies, which are essential for bidirectional power conversion, a key trend in onboard chargers (OBC) for 800V battery system in electric vehicles.

Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH added two new 150V N-channel power MOSFET products based upon their latest generation U-MOS X-H Trench process. The TPH1100CQ5 and TPH1400CQ5 devices are designed specifically for use in high-performance switching power supplies, such as those used in data centres and communication base stations as well as other industrial applications.
With a maximum drain-source voltage (VDSS) rating of 150V and drain current (ID) handling 49A (TPH1100CQ5) and 32A (TPH1400CQ5), the new devices feature a maximum drain-source on-resistance RDS(ON).
The new products offer improved reverse recovery characteristics that are critical in synchronous rectification applications. In the case of TPH1400CQ5, the reverse recovery charge (Qrr) is reduced by approximately 73% to 27nC (typ.) and the reverse recovery time (trr) of 36 ns (typ.) is approximately 45% faster compared with Toshiba’s existing TPH1400CQH, which offers the same voltage and RDS(ON).
Used in synchronous rectification applications, the TPH1400CQ5 reduces the power loss of switching power supplies and helps improve efficiency. If the device is used in a circuit that does not operate in reverse recovery mode, the power loss is equivalent to that of the TPH1400CQH.
When used in a circuit that operates in reverse recovery mode, the new products reduce spike voltages generated during switching, helping to improve EMI characteristics of designs, and reducing the need for external filtering. The devices are housed in a versatile, surface-mount SOP Advance(N) package measuring just 4.9mm x 6.1mm x 1.0mm.
To support designers, Toshiba has developed a G0 SPICE model for rapid verification of the circuit function as well as highly accurate G2 SPICE models, for accurate reproduction of transient characteristics.
Shipments of the new devices start today, and Toshiba will continue to expand their lineup of power MOSFETs that help improve equipment efficiency.

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation launched 650V N-channel power MOSFETs “TK068N65Z5, TK095E65Z5, TK095A65Z5, TK095V65Z5, TK115E65Z5, TK115A65Z5, TK115V65Z5 and TK115N65Z5” and added them to the lineup of Toshiba’s latest-generation DTMOSVI series with high-speed diodes (DTMOSVI (HSD)) that uses super junction structure and is suitable for high-efficiency switching power supplies for data centers and power conditioners for photovoltaic generators. Packages of the new products are TO-247, TO-220SIS, TO-220 and DFN8×8.
The new products with the DTMOSVI (HSD) process use high-speed diodes to improve the reverse recovery characteristics important for bridge circuit and inverter circuit applications. Against Toshiba’s existing product TK090A65Z of the standard type DTMOSVI, the new product TK095A65Z5 achieves an approximately 65% reduction in reverse recovery time (trr), and an approximately 88% reduction in reverse recovery charge (Qrr) (measurement conditions: -dIDR/dt=100A/μs).
In addition, the DTMOSVI (HSD) process improves on the reverse recovery characteristics of Toshiba’s existing products DTMOSIV series with high-speed diodes (DTMOSIV (HSD)), and has a lower drain cut-off current at high temperatures. Furthermore, the figure of merit “drain-source On-resistance × gate-drain charge” is also lower.
The high temperature drain cut-off current of the new product TK095A65Z5 is approximately 91% lower, and the drain-source On-resistance × gate-drain charge approximately 70% lower, than in Toshiba’s existing product TK35A65W5. This advance will cut equipment power loss and help to improve efficiency.
A reference design, “1.6kW Server Power Supply (Upgraded)“, that uses the same series product TK095N65Z5 is available on Toshiba’s website.
Toshiba also offers tools that support circuit design for switching power supplies. Alongside the G0 SPICE model, which verifies circuit function in a short time, highly accurate G2 SPICE models that accurately reproduce transient characteristics are now available.
Toshiba also will continue to expand its lineup of the DTMOSVI series. This will enhance switching power supply efficiency, contributing to energy-saving equipment.
