en.Wedoany.com Reported - Malvern, Pennsylvania, April 1, 2026Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has released a new automotive-grade photovoltaic MOSFET driver, the VODA1275. This device utilizes CTI 600 molding compound and comes in an SMD-4 package with an 8 mm creepage distance. It offers 20 V open-circuit voltage, 20 μA short-circuit current, and 80 μs turn-on time. It is designed to enhance safety and reliability in high-voltage automotive applications while simplifying the design process and reducing production costs.
The VODA1275 is classified as providing reinforced isolation, with a typical open-circuit voltage of 20 V, a short-circuit current of 20 μA, and a turn-on time of 80 μs, which is three times faster than competing devices. These characteristics enable faster and more reliable driving of MOSFETs and IGBTs in high-voltage systems. The device has a working isolation voltage of 1260 V peak and an isolation test voltage of 5300 VRMS, making it suitable for 800 V+ battery systems.
This MOSFET driver is AEC-Q102 compliant and suitable for pre-charge circuits, wall chargers, and battery management systems (BMS) in electric (EV) and hybrid electric (HEV) vehicles. Designers previously needed to connect two MOSFET drivers in series to generate high voltage. Now, the high open-circuit output voltage of the VODA1275 allows the use of just one, thereby saving space and reducing costs. Additionally, this driver supports the creation of custom solid-state relays to replace traditional electromechanical relays in next-generation vehicles.
The optically isolated VODA1275 draws all the current required to drive its internal circuitry from the infrared emitter on the low-voltage side of the isolation barrier. This architecture simplifies design and reduces costs by eliminating the need for an external power supply. This MOSFET driver is RoHS compliant, halogen-free, and a Vishay Green product. Samples and production quantities of the VODA1275 are now available with a lead time of eight weeks.
Vishay Intertechnology, a Fortune 1000 company listed on the New York Stock Exchange, manufactures one of the world's largest portfolios of discrete semiconductors and passive electronic components, serving the automotive, industrial, computing, consumer, telecommunications, military, aerospace, and medical markets. The launch of this automotive-grade photovoltaic MOSFET driver, the VODA1275, is expected to provide a more efficient solution for high-voltage automotive systems, improving overall performance and cost-effectiveness.
