Vishay Intertechnology 1200 V SiC MOSFET Power Modules in MAACPAK PressFit Package Increase Efficiency and Reliability

Core Insights - Vishay Intertechnology has launched two new 1200 V MOSFET power modules aimed at enhancing efficiency and reliability for medium to high frequency applications across various sectors including automotive, energy, industrial, and telecom systems [1][2]. Product Features - The new power modules, VS-MPY038P120 and VS-MPX075P120, integrate the latest generation of silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs along with an NTC thermistor for temperature sensing and fast intrinsic SiC diodes, resulting in reduced switching losses and increased efficiency for applications such as solar inverters and electric vehicle chargers [2][3]. - The rugged transfer mold technology used in these modules allows for longer product lifecycles and improved thermal resistance compared to legacy solutions, while their low profile design reduces parasitic inductance and electromagnetic interference (EMI) [3][4]. - The VS-MPY038P120 features a full-bridge inverter topology with an on-resistance of 38 mΩ and a continuous drain current of 35 A at +80 °C, while the VS-MPX075P120 has a three-phase inverter topology with an on-resistance of 75 mΩ and a continuous drain current of 18 A [4]. Availability - Samples and production quantities of the new power modules are currently available, with lead times of 13 weeks [5]. Company Overview - Vishay Intertechnology is recognized for having one of the largest portfolios of discrete semiconductors and passive electronic components, serving a wide range of markets including automotive, industrial, computing, and telecommunications [6].
