Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Summary
Navitas Semiconductor (Nasdaq: NVTS) has announced the release of third-generation automotive-qualified SiC MOSFETs in D2PAK-7L and TOLL surface-mount packages. These Gen-3 Fast SiC MOSFETs, featuring Navitas' proprietary 'trench-assisted planar' technology, offer superior performance for electric vehicle (EV) applications. Key benefits include:
- Up to 25°C lower case temperatures than conventional devices
- Up to 3x longer operating life in high-stress EV environments
- Optimized for fastest switching speed and highest efficiency
- Support for increased power density in EV systems
The new MOSFETs cater to both 400V (650V-rated) and 800V (1,200V-rated) EV architectures, with RDS(ON) ratings ranging from 20 to 55 mΩ and 18 to 135 mΩ respectively. The TOLL package for 400V EVs offers significant improvements in thermal resistance, PCB footprint, and size compared to D2PAK-7L.
Positive
- Release of third-generation automotive-qualified SiC MOSFETs for EV applications
- Up to 25°C lower case temperatures and 3x longer operating life than conventional devices

Next-gen silicon carbide (SiC) power semis drive innovation in 400 and 800 V EV architectures
TORRANCE, Calif., Sept. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Navitas Semiconductor (Nasdaq: NVTS), the industry leader in next-generation GaNFast™ gallium nitride (GaN) and GeneSiC™ silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductors, today announced the release of a portfolio of third-generation automotive-qualified SiC MOSFETs in D2PAK-7L (TO-263-7) and TOLL (TO-Leadless) surface-mount (SMT) packages.
Navitas’ proprietary ‘trench-assisted planar’ technology provides world-leading performance over temperature and delivers high-speed, cool-running operation for electric vehicle (EV) charging, traction, and DC-DC conversion. With case temperatures up to 25°C lower than conventional devices, Gen-3 Fast SiC offers an operating life up to 3x longer than alternative SiC products, for high-stress EV environments.
Gen-3 Fast MOSFETs are optimized for the fastest switching speed, highest efficiency, and support increased power density in EV applications such as AC compressors, cabin heaters, DC-DC converters, and on-board chargers (OBCs). Navitas’ dedicated EV Design Center has demonstrated leading edge OBC system solutions up to 22 kW with 3.5 kW/liter power density, and over
400 V-rated EV battery architectures are served by the new 650 V Gen-3 Fast MOSFETs featuring RDS(ON) ratings from 20 to 55 mΩ. The 1,200 V ranges from 18 to 135 mΩ and is optimized for 800 V systems.
Both 650 and 1,200 V ranges are AEC Q101-qualified in the traditional SMT D2PAK-7L (TO-263-7) package. For 400 V EVs, the 650 V-rated, surface-mount TOLL package offers a
The automotive-qualified 650 V and 1200 V G3F SiC MOSFET family in D2PAK-7L and TOLL surface mount packages are released and available immediately for purchase. For more information, please contact info@navitassemi.com.
