Toshiba Launched New High-Power SiC MOSFET Module
The company introduced the IX800FXF2YMS4 module to improve efficiency and reliability in industrial power systems.
Updated on Sept. 24, 2026 in Semiconductors
Toshiba has released the IX800FXF2YMS4, a new silicon carbide MOSFET module designed for industrial equipment. The component incorporates third-generation chips to meet demands for smaller, more efficient power systems.
Why it matters
Industrial systems require components that can maintain high efficiency while handling surge currents during abnormal conditions. This module improves reliability and size constraints in heavy-duty power electronics.
The module features a 3300V drain-source voltage rating and an 800A drain current. It utilizes silver sintering bonding technology to achieve a 175°C channel temperature rating and low switching losses.
The players
Toshiba
Headquartered in Kawasaki, Japan, the company is a global manufacturer of electronic and power semiconductor devices.
The details
The IX800FXF2YMS4 utilizes the iXPLV package design and silver sintering bonding technology to enhance heat resistance. By integrating third-generation silicon carbide MOSFET chips, the unit provides a surge current capability of 300kAs and a typical on-voltage of 1.4V.
Timeline
