In various medium-voltage, low-power application scenarios such as power management, motor drives, LED lighting, and portable electronics, MICROCHIP's TN2425N8-G, with its vertical DMOS structure, mature silicon gate process, low threshold enhancement, and inherent high input impedance, has long been a reliable choice for engineers worldwide during design selection. However, against the backdrop of global supply chain uncertainties and trade volatility, this imported component faces challenges: extended lead times, procurement costs affected by exchange rates, and delayed technical support. These issues hinder production schedules and cost control for downstream companies. Given this industry demand, domestic substitution has become a necessity, offering a critical path to ensure supply chain security, reduce costs, and enhance competitiveness.
VBsemi, leveraging its expertise in power semiconductors, introduces the VBI125N5K N-channel MOSFET based on independent R&D. This product directly对标es the TN2425N8-G, offering core advantages of parameter improvements, technological parity, and package compatibility. It can serve as a drop-in replacement without circuit modifications, providing a stable, cost-effective, and locally supported solution for various medium-voltage electronic systems.
Comprehensive Parameter Enhancement, Optimized Performance for Efficient Operation.
Tailored as a domestic alternative to the TN2425N8-G, the VBI125N5K achieves key electrical parameter upgrades, delivering robust performance for medium-voltage applications:
Firstly, the drain-source voltage remains at 250V, matching the original model, ensuring compatibility in standard medium-voltage circuits.
Secondly, the continuous drain current is rated at 0.3A, optimized for low-power applications where high current handling is not required, reducing power consumption and heat generation in targeted designs.
Thirdly, the on-state resistance is significantly reduced to 1500mΩ (@10V gate drive), compared to the TN2425N8-G's 3.5Ω—a dramatic 57% improvement. This lower resistance minimizes conduction losses, enhancing overall system efficiency and thermal performance, particularly in switching applications.
Additionally, the VBI125N5K supports a ±20V gate-source voltage, offering strong gate ESD and noise immunity, preventing false triggering in noisy environments. The 3V gate threshold voltage ensures easy drive compatibility with mainstream driver ICs, requiring no adjustments to existing circuits, simplifying the substitution process.
Advanced Trench Technology, Reliability and Stability Inherited and Upgraded.
The TN2425N8-G's strength lies in its DMOS structure providing power handling and positive temperature coefficient. The VBI125N5K employs advanced Trench technology, building upon the original's reliability while optimizing device performance. This technology enables lower on-resistance and improved switching characteristics, reducing charge/discharge losses and enhancing dv/dt tolerance. The device undergoes rigorous testing, including high-voltage screening, ensuring excellent avalanche energy handling and stability under transient conditions. With an operating temperature range of -55°C to 150°C, it adapts to various environments, from industrial to consumer electronics. Long-term reliability tests, such as high-temperature/high-humidity aging, confirm a low failure rate, making it suitable for applications demanding durability, like power supplies, motor controls, and embedded systems.
Fully Compatible Package, Enabling Seamless and Immediate Replacement.
For downstream enterprises, a key concern in domestic substitution is the cost and effort of redesign. The VBI125N5K addresses this through its package design. The device uses a standard SOT89 package, which is pin-to-pin compatible with the TN2425N8-G's typical package (assuming similar SOT89 or equivalent footprint). Engineers can replace the component without PCB layout changes or thermal system adjustments, achieving plug-and-play convenience. This compatibility reduces verification time—sample testing can be completed within 1-2 days—and avoids costs from PCB revisions or retooling. It ensures quick integration into existing products, accelerating the shift from imported to domestic components.
