VBK8238: The Perfect Domestic Alternative to HAT1096C-EL-E, A More Reliable Choice for Low-Voltage Applications
In various low-voltage, portable application scenarios such as battery-powered devices, load switches, power management circuits, and mobile electronics, RENESAS IDT's HAT1096C-EL-E P-channel MOSFET, with its compact design and balanced performance, has been a frequent choice for engineers worldwide. However, against the backdrop of global supply chain disruptions and trade uncertainties, this imported component faces pain points like extended lead times, cost volatility due to exchange rates, and delayed technical support, severely impacting production efficiency and cost control for downstream companies. Given this, domestic substitution has evolved from an option to a necessity, becoming a critical path for ensuring supply chain security and enhancing core competitiveness.
VBsemi, leveraging years of experience in power semiconductors, introduces the VBK8238 P-channel power MOSFET based on independent R&D. This product precisely对标es the HAT1096C-EL-E, offering core advantages of parameter upgrades, technological parity, and full package compatibility. It serves as a direct drop-in replacement without circuit modifications, delivering a more stable, cost-effective, and locally supported solution for low-voltage electronic systems.
Comprehensive Parameter Surpassing, Ample Performance Redundancy, Adapting to More Demanding Conditions.
Tailored as a domestic alternative to the HAT1096C-EL-E, the VBK8238 achieves leapfrog improvements in key electrical parameters, ensuring robust performance for low-voltage applications:
Firstly, the continuous drain current is increased to 4A, significantly higher than the original model's 1A—a 300% enhancement in current-carrying capability. This allows effortless handling of higher load currents, enabling upgrades to more power-demanding designs or improved stability in existing systems.
Secondly, the on-state resistance is as low as 45mΩ (@2.5V and 4.5V gate drive), far superior to the HAT1096C-EL-E's 225mΩ (@4.5V, 0.5A). This drastically reduces conduction losses, boosting overall efficiency and minimizing heat generation in space-constrained applications.
Additionally, the VBK8238 supports a ±20V gate-source voltage, providing stronger gate ESD and noise immunity, preventing unintended turn-on in noisy environments. The -0.6V gate threshold voltage balances drive ease and switching reliability, seamlessly matching mainstream low-voltage driver ICs without drive circuit adjustments.
Enhanced with Advanced Trench Technology, Reliability and Stability Inherited and Upgraded.
The VBK8238 employs advanced Trench technology, optimizing device performance and reliability. It undergoes rigorous pre-shipment testing, including full electrical characterization, ensuring excellent switching characteristics and durability. With an operating temperature range from -55°C to 150°C, it adapts to harsh conditions like outdoor portable devices or industrial controls. Reliability验证 through extended aging tests confirms a low failure rate, ideal for critical applications such as medical portables, IoT sensors, and consumer electronics.
Fully Compatible Package, Enabling "Plug-and-Play" Replacement.
For seamless substitution, the VBK8238 uses an SC70-6 package, identical to the HAT1096C-EL-E in pinout, dimensions, and footprint. Engineers can replace the original component directly without PCB redesign or thermal adjustments, achieving zero-cost substitution. This compatibility slashes verification time to 1-2 days, avoids production delays from mold changes, and eliminates re-certification needs, accelerating time-to-market.
Local Strength Assurance, Dual Peace of Mind for Supply Chain Security and Technical Support.
Compared to imported components with unstable supply chains, VBsemi utilizes domestic manufacturing bases for stable mass production of the VBK8238. Lead times are compressed to within 2 weeks, with emergency 72-hour delivery options, mitigating risks from logistics, tariffs, or geopolitics. As a local brand, VBsemi offers dedicated technical support: comprehensive documentation (e.g., substitution reports, datasheets, application guides), customized selection advice, and 24-hour rapid response for any issues. This addresses slow support and high communication costs of imported parts, ensuring a smooth, worry-free transition.
From battery management and power switches to portable gadgets and embedded systems, the VBK8238, with its superior parameters, stable performance, package compatibility, controllable supply, and attentive service, is the preferred domestic alternative to the HAT1096C-EL-E. It has gained market recognition in multiple industries. Choosing VBK8238 is not just a component swap—it's a strategic step toward supply chain security, cost optimization, and competitiveness, offering better performance, reliable supply, and local support without R&D risks.
