Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Unveils its Powerful αMOS E2™ 600V Super Junction MOSFET Platform

Key Terms

mosfet technical

A MOSFET is a tiny electronic switch used to control the flow of electricity in chips and circuits, functioning like a faucet that turns current on or off and adjusts how much passes through. Investors watch MOSFETs because their performance, cost and availability affect product power efficiency, manufacturing yields and supply chains for industries from consumer electronics to electric vehicles, which in turn can influence companies’ margins and growth prospects.

super junction mosfet technical

A super junction MOSFET is a specialized type of semiconductor switch used to control high-voltage electrical power with much lower energy loss than older designs. Think of it as a more efficient, finer-grained valve for electricity that reduces heat and saves energy in devices like chargers, inverters and electric vehicles. For investors, adoption of this technology can drive stronger product performance, lower system costs and higher demand for manufacturers who make or use it.

body diode technical

An internal semiconductor diode that sits inside certain power transistors and lets current flow in one direction when the transistor is reversed, like a built‑in one‑way valve. For investors, it matters because that inherent path can create unwanted heat, energy loss or the need for extra components in power electronics, affecting product efficiency, reliability and manufacturing cost for companies making chips or devices.

rds(on) technical

rds(on) is the electrical resistance of a power transistor (usually a MOSFET) when it is switched fully on; think of it as how narrow a pipe the current must flow through. Lower rds(on) means less energy lost as heat, better efficiency, and less cooling or larger batteries required. Investors watch rds(on) because it influences product performance, power consumption, component cost and reliability — all of which can affect margins and competitive position.

di/dt technical

di/dt is the rate at which an electric current changes over time — think of it like the acceleration of water through a hose: how quickly the flow speeds up or slows down. For investors, di/dt matters because rapid changes in current can stress electronic components, batteries and power systems, affecting product reliability, safety, manufacturing costs and regulatory compliance for companies in energy, automotive, and electronics sectors.

avalanche unclamped inductive switching technical

Avalanche unclamped inductive switching describes what happens when a power transistor (like a MOSFET) turns off while driving an inductive load and the stored energy forces the device into a controlled breakdown, letting voltage spike and dissipate inside the transistor rather than through an external clamp. For investors, it matters because a device’s ability to survive these stress events affects product reliability, warranty costs and the competitiveness of companies that make or use power electronics—think of it as how well a car’s shock absorber handles a sudden pothole.

short-circuit withstanding time technical

Short-circuit withstanding time is the amount of time electrical equipment or a circuit can endure a sudden surge of fault current (a short) before it suffers permanent damage or fails. For investors, this rating signals how robust a product or system is, affecting safety, regulatory compliance, maintenance costs and potential downtime; think of it like how long a bridge can hold under an extreme load before collapse, which influences liability and replacement expenses.

First High-Voltage MOSFET Product from the Platform Meets Demands for High Efficiency, Power Density, and Robust Performance in Next‑Gen Power and Solar Inverter Applications

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited (AOS) (Nasdaq: AOSL), a designer, developer, and global supplier of a broad range of discrete power devices, wide band gap power devices, power management ICs, and modules, today unveiled its powerful αMOS E2™ 600V Super Junction MOSFET platform. The first high-voltage product from the newly developed platform is AOS’ AOTL037V60DE2. 600V MOSFET, designed to meet the growing demand for high efficiency and high-power density across a wide range of applications, including servers, workstations, telecom rectifiers, solar inverters, motor drives, and industrial power systems.

First High-Voltage MOSFET Product from the Platform Meets Demands for High Efficiency, Power Density, and Robust Performance in Next‑Gen Power and Solar Inverter Applications

The design challenges of today’s mid‑ to high‑power switched‑mode power supplies (SMPS) and solar inverter systems can be distilled into four key requirements: the need for higher efficiency, greater power density, lower overall system cost, and uncompromised robustness. To meet these expectations, High‑Voltage Super Junction MOSFETs have become the preferred devices for critical topologies, including the slow leg of totem‑pole PFC, LLC resonant converters, PSFB, and cyclo‑converters.

AOS engineered its advanced αMOS E2™ High‑Voltage Super Junction MOSFET platform with a robust intrinsic body diode to reliably handle hard commutation scenarios, such as reverse recovery of the freewheeling body diode that can occur during abnormal events, such as short‑circuits or start‑up transients. The AOTL037V60DE2, available in a TOLL package, features a maximum R_DS(ON) of 37 milliohms. In evaluations conducted by AOS’ application engineering team, the body diode ruggedness of this αMOS E2™ MOSFET demonstrated the ability to withstand di/dt = 1300 A/µs under specific forward current (IF) conditions at a junction temperature of 150 °C. Moreover, AOS testing confirmed that the AOTL037V60DE2 delivered superior Avalanche Unclamped Inductive Switching (UIS) capability and a longer Short‑Circuit Withstanding Time (SCWT) when compared to competing MOSFETs. This enhanced ruggedness translates into greater system‑level reliability, ensuring robust performance even under abnormal operating scenarios.

“We designed this platform and the first high-voltage MOSFET to address the needs of traditional AC/DC power supplies, as well as DC/DC converters and DC/AC inverters, where achieving high power density and efficiency remains a critical challenge. Leveraging AOS’ extensive MOSFET engineering expertise, we know the breakthrough capabilities of αMOS E2™ High‑Voltage Super Junction MOSFET platform and the AOTL037V60DE2 solve these challenges enabling mid- to high-power application designers of power supplies, solar PV inverters, and DC/DC converters to effectively satisfy today’s and future power efficiency, durability and lower cost demands,” said Simon Yu, Senior Product Line Manager at AOS.
