In power design, selecting the right MOSFET involves balancing performance, cost, and supply chain stability. This article uses two established MOSFETs—IRF9520PBF (P-channel) and SIZ980BDT-T1-GE3 (N-channel dual)—as benchmarks, analyzing their design cores and applications, while evaluating domestic alternatives VBM2102M and VBGQA3302G. By comparing key parameters, we provide a clear selection guide for your next power switching solution.
Comparative Analysis: IRF9520PBF (P-channel) vs. VBM2102M
Analysis of the Original Model (IRF9520PBF) Core:
This is a 100V P-channel MOSFET from VISHAY in a TO-220AB package. It combines fast switching, robust design, low on-resistance (600mΩ @10V), and cost-effectiveness. With a continuous drain current of 4.8A and power dissipation up to ~50W, its low thermal resistance and industry recognition make it suitable for commercial-industrial applications.
Compatibility and Differences of the Domestic Alternative (VBM2102M):
VBsemi’s VBM2102M is a pin-to-pin compatible alternative in TO-220 package. Key differences: VBM2102M offers significantly lower on-resistance (167mΩ @10V vs. 600mΩ) and higher continuous current (-18A vs. 4.8A), while maintaining a -100V voltage rating. This provides improved efficiency and current handling.
Key Application Areas:
- Original Model IRF9520PBF: Ideal for general-purpose industrial power switching, DC-DC converters, and applications requiring cost-effective, robust 100V P-channel solutions.
- Alternative Model VBM2102M: Better suited for applications demanding lower conduction losses and higher current capacity (up to -18A), such as upgraded power supplies or motor drives.
Comparative Analysis: SIZ980BDT-T1-GE3 (N-channel dual) vs. VBGQA3302G
Analysis of the Original Model (SIZ980BDT-T1-GE3) Core:
This VISHAY dual N-channel MOSFET in PowerPAIR-8 package features TrenchFET Gen IV technology. With a 30V rating, 197A continuous current, and ultra-low RDS(on) of 4.39mΩ @10V, it includes an integrated Schottky diode. Its low RDS×Qg figure of merit enhances efficiency, targeting CPU core power and server applications.
Compatibility and Differences of the Domestic Alternative (VBGQA3302G):
VBsemi’s VBGQA3302G is a half-bridge N+N alternative in DFN8(5x6)-C package. It matches the 30V rating but offers lower on-resistance (1.7mΩ @10V vs. 4.39mΩ) and a continuous current of 100A. Using SGT technology, it provides superior switching performance and reduced losses.
Key Application Areas:
- Original Model SIZ980BDT-T1-GE3: Optimized for high-efficiency, high-current applications like CPU VRMs, server peripherals, and low-side switching with integrated diode protection.
- Alternative Model VBGQA3302G: Excellent for high-power density designs requiring minimal conduction loss and high current (up to 100A), such as advanced DC-DC converters or motor drives.
Conclusion:
Selection depends on precise requirement matching. For P-channel needs, IRF9520PBF offers proven reliability, while VBM2102M delivers enhanced performance. For dual N-channel applications, SIZ980BDT-T1-GE3 provides integrated features, and VBGQA3302G enables higher efficiency. Domestic alternatives like VBM2102M and VBGQA3302G offer viable, performance-competitive options, adding flexibility and resilience to design choices.
