Driven by the dual forces of automotive electrification and supply chain autonomy, the domestic substitution of core power devices has evolved from a backup option to a strategic imperative. Facing the stringent requirements for high efficiency, compact size, and reliability in low-voltage dual-channel applications, finding a domestic alternative solution that is powerful, reliable in quality, and stable in supply has become a critical task for numerous electronics manufacturers. When focusing on the classic 45V dual N+P channel MOSFET from ROHM—the SH8M24GZETB—the VBA5415, launched by VBsemi, emerges as a formidable contender. It not only achieves precise performance alignment but also realizes a leap forward in key parameters based on advanced Trench technology, representing a value transformation from "usable" to "excellent," from "substitution" to "surpassing."
I. Parameter Comparison and Performance Leap: Fundamental Advantages Brought by Trench Technology
The SH8M24GZETB has earned recognition in applications like power management, motor drives, and battery protection due to its 45V voltage rating, 6A continuous drain current, and 63mΩ on-state resistance at 10V. However, as system efficiency and power density demands increase, the inherent losses and limited current capability of the device become bottlenecks.
1.Building on hardware compatibility with the SOP8 package and dual N+P channel configuration, the VBA5415 achieves significant breakthroughs in key electrical characteristics through advanced Trench technology:
Significantly Reduced On-Resistance: With VGS = 10V, the RDS(on) is as low as 15mΩ (typical), a dramatic reduction compared to the reference model's 63mΩ. According to the conduction loss formula Pcond = I_D^2⋅RDS(on), losses are substantially lower at operating currents, directly improving system efficiency, reducing temperature rise, and simplifying thermal design.
2.Enhanced Current Handling: The VBA5415 supports 9A continuous drain current for the N-channel and -8A for the P-channel, exceeding the 6A rating of the SH8M24GZETB, enabling higher power applications and improved robustness.
3.Optimized Voltage Ratings: With VDS of ±40V and VGS of ±20V, along with a threshold voltage Vth of 1.8V (N) and -1.7V (P), the device offers stable operation in low-voltage systems, suitable for automotive and industrial environments.
II. Deepening Application Scenarios: From Functional Replacement to System Upgrade
The VBA5415 not only enables pin-to-pin direct replacement in existing applications of the SH8M24GZETB but can also drive overall system performance improvements with its advantages:
1.Power Management and DC-DC Conversion
Lower conduction losses improve efficiency across load ranges, supporting higher frequency designs for smaller inductors and capacitors, aligning with miniaturization trends in devices like onboard chargers and point-of-load converters.
2.Motor Drive and Control
In small motor drives for automotive auxiliaries, fans, or pumps, the enhanced current capability and low RDS(on) ensure reliable performance, reducing heat generation and extending lifespan.
3.Battery Protection and Switching Circuits
The dual N+P configuration is ideal for battery protection modules, power path management, and reverse polarity protection, where low on-resistance minimizes voltage drop and power loss.
4.Consumer and Industrial Electronics
Applications such as UPS, power tools, and LED lighting benefit from the compact SOP8 package and high efficiency, enabling cost-effective and reliable designs.
III. Beyond Parameters: Reliability, Supply Chain Security, and Full-Lifecycle Value
Choosing the VBA5415 is not only a technical decision but also a consideration of supply chain and commercial strategy:
1.Domestic Supply Chain Security
VBsemi possesses controllable capabilities across the entire chain from chip design to packaging and testing, ensuring stable supply, predictable lead times, effectively responding to external fluctuations, and safeguarding production continuity for customers.
2.Comprehensive Cost Advantage
With superior performance in on-resistance and current rating, domestic components offer a competitive pricing structure and customization support, reducing BOM costs and enhancing end-product market competitiveness.
3.Localized Technical Support
Provides rapid, full-process support from selection, simulation, testing, to failure analysis, assisting customers with system optimization and troubleshooting, accelerating R&D iteration and problem resolution.
IV. Adaptation Recommendations and Replacement Path
For design projects currently using or planning to use the SH8M24GZETB, the following steps are recommended for evaluation and switching:
1.Electrical Performance Verification
Compare key waveforms (switching characteristics, loss distribution, temperature rise) under identical circuit conditions. Utilize the low RDS(on) and enhanced current handling of the VBA5415 to adjust drive parameters for further efficiency gains.
2.Thermal Design and Mechanical Validation
Due to reduced losses, thermal requirements may be relaxed accordingly. Evaluate potential optimization of heat dissipation for cost or size savings in compact designs.
3.Reliability Testing and System Validation
After completing electrical/thermal stress, environmental, and lifespan tests in the lab, progressively advance to application-specific validation to ensure long-term operational stability.
