Magnachip Introduces 40V MOSFET
New chip is designed to control BLDC motors for automotive applications
Magnachip Semiconductor has released a new 40V MOSFET to control Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motors for automotive applications.
The MOSFET is fully AEC-Q101 (Automotive Electronics Council-Q101) certified. The first application is for the Electric Water Pump of a new EV model from a global auto manufacturer. The device is also suitable for a variety of BLDC applications, such as electric oil pumps, engine cooling fans, electric power steering and battery cooling fans.
“The market for both electric and internal combustion engines in the automotive sector is more competitive than ever and the demand for high-performance MV MOSFETs is increasing rapidly,” said YJ Kim, CEO of Magnachip. “Accordingly, we are strengthening our presence in global markets and believe the release of this new 40V MOSFET will help us to secure greater market share.”
