In various load switching and power management application scenarios such as portable devices, battery-powered systems, IoT modules, and consumer electronics, ROHM's RQ5C035BCTCL, with its low on-resistance, compact TSMT3 package, and compliance with RoHS and halogen-free standards, has been a reliable choice for engineers worldwide. However, in the post-pandemic era marked by global supply chain uncertainties and trade complexities, this imported component faces challenges: extended lead times, cost volatility due to exchange rates, and delayed technical support. These issues hinder production efficiency and cost control for downstream companies. Consequently, domestic substitution has evolved from an "option" to a "necessity," offering a critical path to enhance supply chain security, reduce costs, and boost competitiveness.
Leveraging years of expertise in power semiconductors, VBsemi introduces the VB2240 P-channel MOSFET through independent R&D. This product directly对标es the RQ5C035BCTCL, delivering core advantages of parameter enhancements, technological parity, and full package compatibility. It serves as a drop-in replacement without circuit modifications, providing a more stable, cost-effective, and locally attuned solution for load switching systems.
Comprehensive Parameter Advancements, Enhanced Performance Margins, Adapting to Demanding Conditions.
Tailored as a domestic alternative to the RQ5C035BCTCL, the VB2240 achieves significant improvements in key electrical parameters, ensuring robust performance for load switching applications:
First, the drain-source voltage is rated at -20V, matching the original model's 20V but with optimized design for reliable operation in low-voltage environments, preventing overvoltage risks in portable and battery-driven systems.
Second, the continuous drain current is increased to -5A (absolute value 5A), surpassing the original model's 3.5A—a 42.9% enhancement in current-carrying capability. This allows effortless handling of higher load currents, enabling upgrades to higher-power designs or improved stability at similar power levels.
Third, the on-state resistance is as low as 46mΩ at both 2.5V and 4.5V gate drive, significantly better than the RQ5C035BCTCL's 59mΩ at 4.5V. This reduction minimizes conduction losses, enhancing overall system efficiency and reducing heat generation—critical for compact, energy-sensitive applications like IoT devices and portable gear.
Additionally, the VB2240 supports a ±12V gate-source voltage, offering stronger ESD protection and noise immunity, preventing unintended switching in noisy environments. The -0.6V gate threshold voltage balances drive convenience and reliability, seamlessly matching mainstream driver ICs without circuit adjustments, lowering substitution barriers.
Enhanced with Advanced Trench Technology, Reliability and Stability Inherited and Upgraded.
The RQ5C035BCTCL relies on low on-resistance for efficiency. The VB2240 employs advanced Trench technology, building on this foundation while optimizing reliability. The device undergoes rigorous pre-shipment testing, ensuring excellent performance under transient conditions. Through optimized capacitance design, it reduces switching losses and improves dv/dt tolerance, maintaining stable operation in high-frequency load switching scenarios. Moreover, the VB2240 features a wide operating temperature range and has passed extended reliability tests, such as high-temperature/high-humidity aging, with a failure rate below industry averages. This makes it ideal for demanding applications like medical devices, industrial controls, and automotive systems, where long-term reliability is paramount.
Fully Compatible Package, Enabling "Plug-and-Play" Replacement with Zero Hassle.
For downstream companies, a key concern in domestic substitution is the cost and effort of redesign. The VB2240 addresses this through its package design. It uses an SOT23-3 package, identical to the RQ5C035BCTCL's TSMT3 package in pinout, spacing, dimensions, and thermal characteristics. Engineers can replace the component directly without PCB layout changes or thermal redesign, achieving true "plug-and-play" convenience. This compatibility slashes verification time—sample validation typically completes in 1-2 days—and avoids costs from PCB revisions or retooling. It also preserves original product certifications and外观, accelerating supply chain cycles and helping enterprises swiftly adopt domestic alternatives to capture market opportunities.
Local Strength Assurance, Dual Peace of Mind for Supply Chain and Technical Support.
Unlike imported components plagued by supply chain instability, VBsemi leverages China's robust semiconductor ecosystem, with modern production bases in Jiangsu and Guangdong, enabling full-process R&D and stable mass production of the VB2240. Lead times are compressed to under 2 weeks, with expedited orders enabling 72-hour delivery, mitigating risks from global logistics, tariffs, or geopolitics.
