In high-voltage, high-frequency application scenarios such as switch-mode power supplies, motor drives, industrial inverters, and lighting systems, AOS’s AOT8N50L, with its balanced performance and wide adoption, has been a common choice for engineers globally. However, in the post-pandemic era marked by global supply chain disruptions and trade uncertainties, this imported component faces persistent challenges: extended lead times (often 4-8 weeks), cost volatility due to exchange rates, and sluggish technical support. These issues hinder production schedules and cost efficiency for downstream enterprises. Against this backdrop, domestic substitution has evolved from an "option" to a "necessity," serving as a critical strategy for ensuring supply chain security, reducing costs, and enhancing competitiveness.
Leveraging years of expertise in power semiconductors, VBsemi introduces the VBM155R09 N-channel power MOSFET through independent R&D. This product is precisely tailored to replace the AOT8N50L, offering key advantages of parameter upgrades, technological parity, and full package compatibility. It enables direct replacement without circuit modifications, delivering a more stable, cost-effective, and locally supported solution for high-voltage electronic systems.
Comprehensive Parameter Advancement, Enhanced Performance Margins, Suited for Demanding Conditions.
Designed as a domestic alternative to the AOT8N50L, the VBM155R09 achieves significant improvements in critical electrical parameters, providing robust performance for high-voltage applications:
First, the drain-source voltage is raised to 550V, 50V higher than the original model’s 500V—a 10% increase. This upgrade offers a greater safety margin in environments with grid fluctuations or transient overvoltage risks, effectively preventing device breakdown and system failures.
Second, the on-state resistance is drastically reduced to 1000mΩ (@10V gate drive), compared to the AOT8N50L’s 4.5Ω (4500mΩ). This represents over a 77% reduction in conduction loss, directly boosting overall system efficiency. In high-frequency switching applications, it minimizes heat generation, easing thermal design and lowering cooling costs.
Third, the continuous drain current remains at 9A, matching the original model’s current-carrying capacity while operating with lower resistance, enabling higher power handling and improved stability. The VBM155R09 also supports a ±30V gate-source voltage, enhancing gate ESD and noise immunity to prevent unintended turn-on in complex electromagnetic environments. With a 3.2V gate threshold voltage, it balances drive convenience and switching reliability, seamlessly compatible with mainstream driver ICs without drive circuit adjustments, further simplifying substitution.
Enhanced with Advanced Planar Gate Technology, Reliability and Stability Inherited and Upgraded.
The AOT8N50L relies on its design for consistent performance, but the VBM155R09 employs industry-leading Planar gate technology, optimizing device reliability across multiple dimensions. It undergoes 100% avalanche testing and high-voltage screening, demonstrating excellent single-pulse avalanche energy capability to handle surges during high-voltage turn-off, reducing avalanche breakdown risks. Through optimized intrinsic capacitance design, it lowers switching charge/discharge losses and enhances dv/dt tolerance, matching the AOT8N50L’s application scenarios. Even under harsh conditions like high-frequency switching or fast transients, it ensures stable operation with no circuit topology changes. Additionally, the VBM155R09 features an operating temperature range of -55°C to 150°C, adapting to industrial high-temperature or outdoor extreme climates. Having passed 1000-hour high-temperature/high-humidity (85°C/85% RH) aging tests and long-term reliability verification, its failure rate is well below industry averages, providing solid assurance for long-term operation—ideal for critical fields like industrial control, power supplies, and motor drives.
Fully Compatible Package, Enabling "Virtually Cost-Free, Risk-Free, and Immediate" Replacement.
For downstream enterprises, a core concern in domestic substitution is the R&D effort and time cost. The VBM155R09 addresses this through its package design. It uses a TO-220 package, identical to the AOT8N50L in pinout, pin spacing, dimensions, and heatsink structure. Engineers require no PCB layout modifications or thermal system redesign, achieving "plug-and-play" replacement. This high compatibility reduces verification time—sample validation typically completes within 1-2 days—and avoids costs from PCB revisions or mold adjustments while preserving original product dimensions and certifications. This accelerates supply chain cycles, helping enterprises swiftly upgrade imported components and capture market opportunities.
Local Strength Assurance, Dual Peace of Mind for Supply Chain Security and Technical Support.
Compared to imported components plagued by unstable supply chains, VBsemi leverages China’s mature semiconductor industry, with modern production bases and R&D centers in Jiangsu and Guangdong, enabling full-process R&D and stable mass production of the VBM155R09.
