Infineon CoolMOS CFD7A: automotive MOSFET platform for 800 V powertrains - AD HOC NEWS

Infineon has launched its new CoolMOS CFD7A superjunction MOSFET family, specifically designed for 400V and 800V electric vehicle powertrain applications. The family combines low switching losses with... Read original →

Infineon’s CoolMOS CFD7A reaffirms silicon’s strategic role in 800V EV auxiliary systems. Its low Qrr body diode and controlled dv/dt directly mitigate EMI in hard-switching topologies, enabling OBCs and DC-DC converters to avoid full SiC adoption—cutting BOM costs by 10–15%. Regulatory shifts like the EU Battery Regulation amplify compliance burdens, favoring IDMs with integrated AEC-Q101 validation. Competitors like onsemi and STMicroelectronics may accelerate 650V/750V SJ-MOS roadmaps, but lack Infineon’s system-level IP in automotive power platforms. Over the next 18 months, as 800V models surge in China and Europe, CFD7A will act as the critical enabler of hybrid (Si+SiC) architectures, securing Infineon’s non-traction revenue stream and extending the economic life of advanced silicon beyond 2030.
