Vishay Intertechnology, announced the VS-HOT200C080, a new 200 A power module for 48 V traction inverters in light electric vehicles (LEV) and belt-start generator / recuperation systems in mild-hybrid electric vehicles (MHEV). The module reduces board space requirements by up to 15% compared to standard discrete solutions. Its MOSFETs feature an on-resistance of 0.45 mΩ, reducing conduction losses by 32% compared to competing solutions.
The VS-HOT200C080 integrates 80 V MOSFETs in a half-bridge configuration, a shunt resistor for current reading, bypass capacitors for improved switching performance, and an NTC for temperature sensing. It is housed in an insulated 30 mm x 22.8 mm transfer-mold FlatPAK HC0 package with an electrically isolated exposed DBC substrate.
The device operates over a temperature range of -55 °C to +175 °C and meets severe AQG-324 reliability requirements, particularly during power cycling. The package design includes signal pins and power tabs at different heights, enabling the use of separate power and signal PCBs that can be stacked to simplify designs and further save board space.
Samples and production quantities of the VS-HOT200C080 are available now, with lead times of 13 weeks.
