SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited (AOS) (Nasdaq: AOSL), a designer, developer, and global supplier of a broad range of discrete power devices, wide band gap power devices, power management ICs, and modules, today announced the release of two state-of-the-art surface mounting package options for its industry-leading high power MOSFET portfolio. Designed to meet the robust packaging requirements for the most demanding applications that require increased performance and reliability, the new GTPAK™ and GLPAK™ packages will first be available on AOS’ AOGT66909 and AOGL66901 MOSFETs respectively. Combining AOS-proven robust MOSFET technology with advanced packaging know-how, these devices provide low ohmic and high current capabilities, critical to reducing the number of parallel MOSFETs needed in high current designs such as in next-generation e-mobility and industrial applications.
The GTPAK offered with the AOGT66909 is a topside cooling package designed with a large exposed pad for more efficient heat transfer. The topside cooling technology transfers most heat to the heat sink mounted on the top exposed pad. This feature allows the GTPAK to offer a more effective thermal dissipation route than going through the PCB board, allowing a lower-cost PCB, such as FR4, to be used.
The GLPAK offered with the AOGL66901 is a gull-wing version of AOS’ successful TOLL package. It is designed using AOS’ advanced clip technology to achieve a high inrush current rating. The GLPAK with clip technology offers very low package resistance and parasitic inductance, improving EMI performance compared to other package types that employ standard wire bonding.
The GTPAK and GLPAK packages feature gull-wing leads, enabling excellent solder joint reliability even for insulated metal substrates (IMS) applications. This gull-wing construction also provides enhanced thermal cycling for IMS boards and other critical applications that must meet higher reliability objectives. AOS MOSFETs in the new GTPAK and GLPAK packages are manufactured in IATF16949-certified facilities and are compatible with automated optical inspection (AOI) manufacturing requirements.
“We are committed to delivering new solutions to help our customers meet or exceed their power performance requirements. By offering our industry-leading MOSFETs in the new robust GTPAK and GLPAK packages, AOS allows designers to select from two state-of-the-art packaging technologies that offer significant performance improvements. Furthermore, the advanced technologies in our AOGT66909 and AOGL66901 MOSFETs will help simplify new designs by reducing the number of devices needed while also providing the necessary higher current capability that makes overall system cost savings possible,” said Peter H. Wilson, Marketing Sr. Director of MOSFET product line at AOS.
