Vishay Intertechnology has released the VODA1275, an automotive‑grade photovoltaic MOSFET driver built in a compact SMD‑4 package with an 8 mm creepage distance and a CTI‑600 mold compound. The driver offers 20 V open‑circuit voltage, 20 µA short‑circuit current, and an 80 µs turn‑on time, delivering 1260 V peak isolation and passing a 5300 VRMS test. Qualified to AEC‑Q102, it targets high‑voltage EV and hybrid applications such as pre‑charge circuits, wall chargers, and battery‑management systems. By consolidating two series drivers into one, it reduces board space and simplifies designs while supporting solid‑state relay alternatives.
Over the past few years GaN HEMTs have moved beyond consumer chargers into high‑performance markets such as AI data‑center servers and humanoid robotics. EPC’s CEO Alex Lidow explained that the material’s low on‑resistance, ultra‑fast switching and high power density make it...
