In a wide range of low-voltage, high-current applications such as power management modules, DC-DC converters, motor drives, battery protection circuits, and portable devices, Renesas' UPA1803GR-9JG-E1-A, with its balanced performance in low on-resistance and current handling, has been a common choice for design engineers. However, in the face of global semiconductor supply chain uncertainties, extended lead times, and fluctuating costs, reliance on this imported MOSFET introduces risks to production planning and cost control. This reality makes domestic substitution not just an alternative, but a strategic imperative for ensuring supply chain resilience, optimizing cost structures, and strengthening market competitiveness.
Leveraging its deep expertise in power semiconductor design and manufacturing, VBsemi introduces the VBC7N3010 N-channel MOSFET, a pin-to-pin and performance-enhanced domestic alternative to the UPA1803GR-9JG-E1-A. Engineered with advanced Trench technology, it delivers superior electrical characteristics, full package compatibility, and reliable local supply, offering a seamless, high-performance replacement solution for low-voltage power systems.
Performance Superiority: Higher Current, Lower Loss, and Enhanced Efficiency
Designed as a direct upgrade to the UPA1803GR-9JG-E1-A, the VBC7N3010 demonstrates measurable improvements across key parameters, providing greater design margin and system robustness:
Its continuous drain current (Id) is rated at 8.5A, exceeding the original 8A by 6.25%, enabling support for higher load currents or improved reliability at the same operational level.
More significantly, the on-state resistance is drastically reduced to 12mΩ (at Vgs=10V), a 25% improvement over the original 16mΩ (at Vgs=4.5V). This lower RDS(on) minimizes conduction losses, enhances overall efficiency, reduces thermal stress, and allows for more compact thermal management or higher power density designs.
The device maintains a drain-source voltage (Vdss) of 30V, matching the original specification for standard low-voltage applications. It supports a gate-source voltage (Vgs) of ±20V, offering robust gate oxide protection and noise immunity. A typical gate threshold voltage (Vth) of 1.7V ensures easy drive compatibility with common logic-level controllers and driver ICs, facilitating straightforward circuit integration.
Advanced Trench Technology: Delivering Low RDS(on) and High Reliability
The VBC7N3010 utilizes VBsemi's mature Trench MOSFET process technology. This architecture is optimized to achieve an excellent figure of merit (FOM) by minimizing on-resistance and gate charge. The result is not only lower conduction losses but also improved switching performance, making it highly suitable for high-frequency switching applications like synchronous rectification and DC-DC conversion.
The device is subjected to rigorous quality control and reliability testing, including 100% automated testing and high-reliability screening. It features an operating temperature range from -55°C to 150°C, ensuring stable operation under demanding environmental conditions. This makes the VBC7N3010 a dependable choice for automotive electronics, industrial controls, communication equipment, and consumer devices where longevity and stability are critical.
Seamless Replacement: Perfect Package Compatibility Eliminates Redesign
A major hurdle in component substitution is the engineering effort required for PCB and layout changes. The VBC7N3010 eliminates this concern entirely through its fully compatible TSSOP8 package. Its pinout, footprint, and mechanical dimensions are identical to those of the UPA1803GR-9JG-E1-A, enabling true "drop-in" replacement.
Engineers can substitute the component on existing boards without any modification to the PCB layout, heatsinking arrangement, or assembly process. This compatibility dramatically reduces the time, cost, and risk associated with qualification and validation—allowing substitution verification to be completed rapidly and production switching to occur seamlessly.
Localized Supply Chain and Technical Support: Stability and Responsiveness
Unlike imported components subject to unpredictable lead times and logistical delays, VBsemi's domestic manufacturing base guarantees a stable and responsive supply for the VBC7N3010. Standard lead times are significantly shorter, and flexible order fulfillment options are available, effectively shielding customers from international supply chain disruptions.
Furthermore, VBsemi provides comprehensive local technical support. Customers have direct access to detailed datasheets, application notes, SPICE models, and substitution guidance. A dedicated technical team offers prompt, customized assistance for design-in support, troubleshooting, and optimization, ensuring a smooth and successful transition from the original component.
