In high-current applications such as automotive systems, server power supplies, motor drives, and high-density DC-DC converters, Infineon's IPLU300N04S4-R8, renowned for its ultra-low on-resistance, high current rating, and AEC qualification, has been a benchmark for power designers. However, navigating the complexities of global supply chains often leads to extended lead times, cost volatility, and logistical hurdles. In this context, seeking a reliable, high-performance domestic alternative is no longer a contingency plan but a strategic imperative for ensuring design resilience and cost efficiency.
VBsemi, leveraging its profound expertise in advanced power semiconductor technology, introduces the VBGQT1400 N-channel MOSFET. This device is engineered as a direct, pin-to-pin replacement for the IPLU300N04S4-R8, offering not just parity but significant performance enhancements, unmatched supply chain stability, and seamless integration, delivering a superior solution for the most demanding high-current circuits.
Benchmark-Beating Performance: Higher Current, Lower Losses, Greater Headroom.
Tailored to supersede the IPLU300N04S4-R8, the VBGQT1400 delivers substantial upgrades across all critical electrical parameters, providing designers with ample performance margin and efficiency gains:
- Current Capability: The continuous drain current (Id) is elevated to an impressive 350A, a 16.7% increase over the original 300A. This substantial boost empowers systems to handle higher power loads effortlessly, enabling more compact designs or enhancing the reliability and longevity of existing platforms.
- Conduction Efficiency: The on-state resistance is drastically reduced to a mere 0.63mΩ (at 10V Vgs), outperforming the 0.77mΩ of the IPLU300N04S4-R8. This 18% reduction in RDS(on) translates directly into lower conduction losses, significantly improving system efficiency, reducing thermal dissipation, and simplifying thermal management requirements.
- Robust Operation: Maintaining a 40V drain-source voltage (Vdss), the device offers reliable operation in low-voltage, high-current environments. The ±20V gate-source voltage ensures robust gate integrity against transients. The optimized 3V threshold voltage (Vth) ensures stable switching and compatibility with standard gate drivers.
Advanced SGT Technology: Engineered for Reliability and Switching Excellence.
The IPLU300N04S4-R8 sets a high standard with its ultra-low RDS(on). The VBGQT1400 achieves its breakthrough performance utilizing VBsemi's proprietary Shielded Gate Trench (SGT) technology. This advanced architecture not only enables the record-low on-resistance but also optimizes the gate charge and figures of merit (FOM), resulting in faster switching speeds and reduced switching losses. The device undergoes 100% avalanche energy testing, ensuring ruggedness and the ability to withstand unclamped inductive switching events. With an operating junction temperature (Tj) up to 175°C and compliance with MSL1 and RoHS standards, the VBGQT1400 is built for demanding, high-reliability applications, matching and exceeding the robustness of its imported counterpart.
Seamless TOLL Package Compatibility: Enable Instant, Risk-Free Replacement.
A primary concern in component substitution is redesign effort. The VBGQT1400 eliminates this hurdle entirely. It is offered in the standard TOLL (TO-Leadless) package, which is mechanically and electrically identical to the IPLU300N04S4-R8. The footprint, pinout, and recommended PCB layout are fully compatible, allowing for a true "drop-in" replacement. Engineers can directly substitute the component on existing boards without any circuit modifications, PCB redesign, or thermal layout adjustments. This compatibility slashes validation time, accelerates time-to-market for new designs, and safeguards investments in existing tooling and inventory.
