In compact, high-efficiency power switching applications such as DC-DC converters, motor drives, battery management systems, and portable device power modules, ROHM's RSQ030N08HZGTR, with its low on-resistance, integrated G-S protection diode, and AEC-Q101 qualification in a small TSMT6 package, has been a reliable choice for designers seeking space-saving and efficient solutions. However, in the current landscape marked by global component shortages and extended lead times, reliance on imported parts like this exposes projects to risks such as uncertain availability, price volatility, and slower technical response. This drives an urgent need for a domestic alternative that ensures supply chain resilience, cost stability, and localized support without compromising performance.
Leveraging its strong expertise in power semiconductor design and manufacturing, VBsemi introduces the VB7638 N-channel MOSFET as a high-performance, pin-to-pin compatible replacement for the RSQ030N08HZGTR. This device not only matches but exceeds key electrical parameters, offering a superior, readily available solution that seamlessly integrates into existing designs.
Superior Electrical Performance for Demanding Applications
Engineered as a direct upgrade to the RSQ030N08HZGTR, the VB7638 demonstrates significant advancements in crucial parameters, providing greater headroom and efficiency:
- Higher Continuous Current: With a drain current rating of 7A—more than double the original's 3A—the VB7638 effortlessly handles higher load currents, enabling power density improvements and enhanced reliability in demanding circuits.
- Drastically Lower On-Resistance: The VB7638 boasts an exceptionally low RDS(on) of just 30mΩ at VGS=10V, a dramatic reduction compared to the 131mΩ of the RSQ030N08HZGTR. This translates to significantly lower conduction losses, improved overall efficiency, and reduced heat generation, simplifying thermal management in compact designs.
- Robust Voltage Ratings: Featuring a drain-source voltage (VDS) of 60V and a gate-source voltage (VGS) of ±20V, the device offers sufficient margin for a wide range of 12V, 24V, and 48V systems, with strong gate robustness against voltage spikes and noise.
- Optimized Threshold Voltage: The standard 1.7V gate threshold voltage ensures easy drive compatibility with common logic-level controllers and driver ICs, facilitating straightforward design integration.
Advanced Trench Technology for Reliability and Efficiency
While the RSQ030N08HZGTR utilizes a planar process for low RDS(on), the VB7638 employs an advanced Trench MOSFET technology. This structure is optimized for minimal switching and conduction losses, delivering high efficiency in high-frequency switching applications. The device includes an integrated gate-source protection diode, enhancing system robustness against electrostatic discharge (ESD) and voltage transients. Meticulous manufacturing and rigorous testing ensure high reliability and stability over an extended operating temperature range, making it suitable for automotive, industrial, and consumer applications where durability is critical.
Compact Package Compatibility for Effortless Replacement
The VB7638 is offered in a space-saving SOT23-6 package. While the footprint is similar to the TSMT6 package of the RSQ030N08HZGTR, engineers are advised to verify the specific pinout and PCB layout compatibility for a seamless drop-in replacement. This high degree of package similarity minimizes redesign efforts, accelerates validation cycles, and avoids costly PCB modifications, allowing for a quick and risk-free transition to a domestic supplier.
Local Supply Chain Assurance and Expert Support
VBsemi's domestic manufacturing capabilities guarantee a stable and responsive supply chain for the VB7638, with significantly shorter lead times compared to imported alternatives.
