Driven by the imperatives of automotive electrification and supply chain resilience, the domestic substitution of core power semiconductors has transitioned from an alternative to a necessity. Meeting the demanding requirements for high efficiency, high power density, and rugged reliability in automotive mid-voltage applications, sourcing a robust, quality-assured, and supply-stable domestic alternative is paramount for OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers. Focusing on the widely adopted 150V N-channel MOSFET from Infineon—the IPT025N15NM6ATMA1—the VBGQT11505 from VBsemi stands out as a powerful contender. It not only achieves key performance alignment but also introduces enhanced value through advanced SGT (Shielded Gate Trench) technology, marking a transition from "qualified replacement" to "performance-optimized solution."
I. Parameter Comparison and Performance Advantages: The Edge of SGT Technology
The Infineon IPT025N15NM6ATMA1 is recognized for its 150V rating, 263A continuous current, and ultra-low 1.9mΩ typical RDS(on), making it suitable for demanding automotive power applications. However, comprehensive system performance hinges on more than just static conduction parameters.
1. Building upon hardware compatibility with the same 150V drain-source voltage and TOLL package, the VBGQT11505 leverages advanced SGT technology to deliver a balanced and robust performance profile:
Optimized Performance Balance: With a VDS of 150V and a continuous drain current (ID) of 170A, the VBGQT11505 offers ample current handling for key applications. Its RDS(on) of 5mΩ (max @ VGS=10V) provides efficient conduction, while the SGT structure inherently offers excellent switching characteristics, low gate charge (Qg), and reduced switching losses, contributing to higher system efficiency.
2. Enhanced Robustness and Reliability: The device features a VGS rating of ±20V, offering robust gate protection. A standard Vth of 3.5V ensures good noise immunity. These characteristics, combined with a high power dissipation capability (Pd) design, ensure stable operation in harsh automotive environments.
3. Superior Thermal Performance: The SGT technology and TOLL package contribute to low thermal resistance, facilitating effective heat dissipation. This is critical for maintaining performance and reliability under high-load, high-ambient temperature conditions typical in automotive systems.
