Automotive power product lineup expanded with four new MOSFETs

Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation has released four new 40V MXT MV MOSFETs designed in power dual flat no-lead (PDFN) 33 packages for automotive applications.

As automotive technologies such as autonomous driving and infotainment systems advance, the number and variety of motors installed in vehicles are growing. Consequently, high-performance MOSFETs that offer low power consumption, compact size, and lightweight construction are becoming increasingly important to drive these motors efficiently.

The company's newly launched MOSFETs come in PDFN33, decreasing the area by more than 60% and the weight by approximately 75% compared to 40V MOSFET products packaged in PDFN56. This makes them even more suited to automotive motors and low-power control systems, where performance, fuel efficiency, and space flexibility are vital.

Among these new products, three models – AMDV040N029LVRH, AMDV040N036LVRH, and AMDV040N042LVRH – are distinguished by their low gate threshold voltage of 1.8V. The gate threshold voltage determines the point at which the MOSFET switches from an off-state to an on-state. A lower threshold voltage decreases the energy needed to operate the MOSFET, thereby reducing the system's overall power consumption.
