In high-current, high-efficiency switching application scenarios such as server & telecom power supplies, high-density DC-DC converters, motor drives, and battery management systems, Renesas IDT's 2SK3432-AZ, with its low on-resistance and robust performance, has been a key component for engineers designing power stages. However, in the current climate of global supply chain uncertainty and extended lead times for imported semiconductors, reliance on this component presents significant challenges: unpredictable availability, vulnerability to price volatility, and limited local technical support. These constraints directly impact production planning, cost stability, and time-to-market for downstream manufacturers. This reality makes domestic substitution not just an alternative, but a strategic imperative for ensuring supply chain resilience and maintaining competitive advantage.
Leveraging years of expertise in power semiconductor design and manufacturing, VBsemi introduces the VBL1405 N-channel power MOSFET. This product is engineered as a precise, high-performance drop-in replacement for the Renesas IDT 2SK3432-AZ. It offers core advantages of superior electrical parameters, advanced technology parity, and full mechanical compatibility, enabling a direct and seamless substitution that requires no circuit modifications, thereby delivering a more stable, cost-effective, and locally supported solution for demanding high-current applications.
Comprehensive Parameter Advancement, Delivering Higher Efficiency and Power Density.
Designed specifically to outperform the 2SK3432-AZ, the VBL1405 achieves significant enhancements in critical figures of merit, providing greater design headroom and improved system performance:
Firstly, the continuous drain current (ID) is rated at a robust 100A, offering substantial current-carrying capability for handling high load currents with ease, which is crucial for modern high-power-density designs.
Secondly, and most notably, the on-state resistance is drastically reduced to a mere 5mΩ (measured at VGS=10V). This represents a major improvement over the typical performance of the original part, directly translating to lower conduction losses. The result is significantly reduced power dissipation and heat generation, enabling higher system efficiency, simpler thermal management, or the ability to push for higher output power within the same form factor.
Thirdly, the device features an optimized gate charge (Qg) characteristic. The lower Qg of the VBL1405 reduces switching losses, especially at higher frequencies, and eases the drive requirement from the controller IC, contributing to overall improved switching performance and efficiency.
Furthermore, the VBL1405 supports a ±20V gate-source voltage, enhancing robustness against gate voltage spikes and noise in harsh electrical environments. The standard 2.5V gate threshold voltage ensures reliable switching and compatibility with a wide range of common drive circuits, facilitating a straightforward replacement process.
Engineered with Advanced Trench Technology, Ensuring Superior Reliability and Switching Performance.
The VBL1405 utilizes VBsemi's advanced Trench MOSFET technology. This process technology is engineered to deliver the ultra-low RDS(on) characteristic while maintaining excellent switching behavior and ruggedness. The device undergoes rigorous reliability testing, including 100% automated wafer-level testing and final product qualification, ensuring consistent high quality and durability. Its optimized internal structure provides strong resistance to dv/dt stress and offers excellent avalanche energy capability, making it highly reliable in applications prone to voltage transients and inductive load switching. The wide operating junction temperature range ensures stable operation under demanding environmental conditions, making it suitable for industrial-grade applications that require long-term, failure-free operation.
Fully Compatible TO-263 Package, Enabling Immediate "Drop-In" Replacement.
A primary concern in component substitution is the engineering effort and cost associated with redesign. The VBL1405 eliminates this hurdle entirely through its package design. It is offered in the industry-standard TO-263 (D²PAK) package, which is mechanically and footprint compatible with the 2SK3432-AZ. The pinout, dimensions, and mounting pad layout are identical. Engineers can directly replace the existing component on the PCB without any layout changes, heatsink modifications, or mechanical rework. This "plug-and-play" compatibility offers immense value: it slashes the time and cost of validation, allows for rapid prototyping and production switching, and protects investments in existing tooling and board design.
