ROHM Develops an Ultra-Compact MOSFET Featuring Industry-Leading* Low ON-Resistance Ideal for Fast Charging Applications
  ROHM has developed a 30V N-channel MOSFET — AW2K21 — in a common-source configuration that achieves an industry-leading ON-resistance of 2.0mΩ (typ.) in a compact 2.0mm × 2.0mm package.  With the rise of compact devices featuring large-capacity batteries, such as smartphones, the need for fast charging functionality to shorten charging times continues to grow. These applications require bidirectional protection to prevent reverse current flow to peripheral ICs and other components when not actively supplying or receiving power. What’s more, fast charging involves high current power transfer, leading smartphone manufacturers to demand stringent specifications for MOSFETs, including a maximum current rating of 20A, breakdown voltage between 28V and 30V, and an ON-resistance of 5mΩ or less. However, meeting these requirements with standard solutions typically necessitates the use of two large low ON-resistance MOSFETs, increasing board space along with mounting complexity.  In response, ROHM developed an ultra-compact low ON-resistance MOSFET optimized for fast high-power charging. The AW2K21 adopts a proprietary structure that enhances cell density while minimizing the ON-resistance per unit chip area. Two MOSFETs are integrated into a single package, allowing a single part to support bidirectional protection applications (commonly required in power supply and charging circuits).  The proprietary structure also places the drain terminal on the top surface, unlike on the backside in standard vertical trench MOS structures. This enables the use of a WLCSP, which achieves a larger chip-to-package area ratio that further reduces ON-resistance per unit area. As a result, the new product not only minimizes power loss but also supports high current operation, making it ideal for high-power fast charging applications despite its ultra-compact size.  For example, in power supply and charging circuits for compact devices, standard solutions typically require two 3.3mm × 3.3mm MOSFETs. In contrast, the AW2K21 can achieve the same functionality with a single 2.0mm × 2.0mm unit, reducing the footprint and ON-resistance by approximately 81% and 33%, respectively. Even compared to similarly sized GaN HEMTs, ON-resistance is decreased by up to 50%, contributing to lower power consumption and increased space savings across a variety of applications.  The AW2K21 is also suitable for use as a unidirectional protection MOSFET in load switch applications, where it maintains the industry’s lowest ON-resistance. At the same time, ROHM is further pushing the limits of miniaturization with the development of an even smaller 1.2mm × 1.2mm model.  Going forward, ROHM remains dedicated to supporting the miniaturization and energy efficiency of electronic systems through compact, high-performance solutions that contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.  Key Product Characteristics  Application Examples  • Smartphones  • VR (Virtual Reality) headsets  • Compact printers  • Tablets     • Wearables           • LCD monitors  • Laptops     • Portable gaming consoles    • Drones  And other applications equipped with fast charging capability.  Terminology  MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor)  A field-effect transistor (FET) featuring a metal oxide semiconductor structure (the most commonly used type). It consists of three terminals: gate, drain, and source. Applying a voltage to the gate (control terminal) regulates current flow from the drain to the source.  N-channel MOSFETs turn ON when a positive voltage is applied to the gate relative to the source. A common-source configuration MOSFET integrates two transistor elements that share a single source terminal.  ON-Resistance  The resistance between the Drain and Source of a MOSFET when it is in the ON state. A smaller RDS(on) reduces power loss during operation.  Breakdown Voltage  The maximum voltage that can be applied between the drain and source terminals of a MOSFET without causing damage. Exceeding this limit results in dielectric breakdown, potentially leading to device failure or malfunction.  WLCSP (Wafer Level Chip Scale Package)  An ultra-compact package in which terminals and wiring are formed directly on the wafer before separated into individual chips. Unlike general packages where the chips are cut from the wafer and then molded with resin to form terminals, WLCSP allows the package size to match the chip itself, making it possible to further reduce size.  GaN HEMT  GaN (Gallium Nitride) is a compound semiconductor material used in next-generation power devices. It offers superior physical properties over conventional silicon, enabling higher frequency operation with faster switching speeds. HEMT stands for High Electron Mobility Transistor.

Renesas Strengthens Power Leadership with New GaN FETs for High-Density Power Conversion in AI Data Centers, Industrial and Charging Systems
  Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE:6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, introduced three new high-voltage 650V GaN FETs for AI data centers and server power supply systems including the new 800V HVDC architecture, E-mobility charging, UPS battery backup devices, battery energy storage and solar inverters. Designed for multi-kilowatt-class applications, these 4th-generation plus (Gen IV Plus) devices combine high-efficiency GaN technology with a silicon-compatible gate drive input, significantly reducing switching power loss while retaining the operating simplicity of silicon FETs. Offered in TOLT, TO-247 and TOLL package options, the devices give engineers the flexibility to customize their thermal management and board design for specific power architectures.  The new TP65H030G4PRS, TP65H030G4PWS and TP65H030G4PQS devices leverage the robust SuperGaN® platform, a field-proven depletion mode (d-mode) normally-off architecture pioneered by Transphorm, which was acquired by Renesas in June 2024. Based on low-loss d-mode technology, the devices offer superior efficiency over silicon, silicon carbide (SiC), and other GaN offerings. Moreover, they minimize power loss with lower gate charge, output capacitance, crossover loss, and dynamic resistance impact, with a higher 4V threshold voltage, which is not achievable with today’s enhancement mode (e-mode) GaN devices.  Built on a die that is 14 percent smaller than the previous Gen IV platform, the new Gen IV Plus products achieve a lower RDS(on) of 30 milliohms (mΩ), reducing on-resistance by 14 percent and delivering a 20 percent improvement in on-resistance output-capacitance-product figure of merit (FOM). The smaller die size reduces system costs and lowers output capacitance, which results in higher efficiency and power density. These advantages make the Gen IV Plus devices ideal for cost-conscious, thermally demanding applications where high performance, efficiency and small footprint are critical. They are fully compatible with existing designs for easy upgrades, while preserving existing engineering investments.  Available in compact TOLT, TO-247 and TOLL packages, they provide one of the broadest packaging options to accommodate thermal performance and layout optimization for power systems ranging from 1kW to 10kW, and even higher with paralleling. The new surface-mount packages include bottom side (TOLL) and top-side (TOLT) thermal conduction paths for cooler case temperatures, allowing easier device paralleling when higher conduction currents are needed. Further, the commonly used TO-247 package provides customers with higher thermal capability to achieve higher power.  “The rollout of Gen IV Plus GaN devices marks the first major new product milestone since Renesas’ acquisition of Transphorm last year,” said Primit Parikh, Vice President of the GaN Business Division at Renesas. “Future versions will combine the field-proven SuperGaN technology with our drivers and controllers to deliver complete power solutions. Whether used as standalone FETs or integrated into complete system solution designs with Renesas controllers or drivers, these devices will provide a clear path to designing products with higher power density, reduced footprint and better efficiency at a lower total system cost.”  Unique d-mode Normally-off Design for Reliability and Easy Integration  Like previous d-mode GaN products, the new Renesas devices use an integrated low-voltage silicon MOSFET – a unique configuration that achieves seamless normally-off operation while fully capturing the low loss, high efficiency switching benefits of the high- voltage GaN. As they use silicon FETs for the input stage, the SuperGaN FETs are easy to drive with standard off-the-shelf gate drivers rather than specialized drivers that are normally required for e-mode GaN. This compatibility simplifies design and lowers the barrier to GaN adaptation for system developers.  GaN-based switching devices are quickly growing as key technologies for next-generation power semiconductors, fueled by demand from electric vehicles (EVs), inverters, AI data center servers, renewable energy, and industrial power conversion. Compared to SiC and silicon-based semiconductor switching devices, they provide superior efficiency, higher switching frequency and smaller footprints.  Renesas is uniquely positioned in the GaN market with its comprehensive solutions, offering both high- and low-power GaN FETs, unlike many providers whose success in the field has been primarily limited to lower power devices. This diverse portfolio enables Renesas to serve a broader range of applications and customer needs. To date, Renesas has shipped over 20 million GaN devices for high- and low-power applications, representing more than 300 billion hours of field usage.

The new Renesas Security IP (RSIP-E50D) includes numerous cryptographic accelerators, including CHACHA20, Ed25519, NIST ECC curves up to 521 bits, enhanced RSA up to 4K, SHA2 and SHA3. In concert with Arm TrustZone®, this provides a comprehensive and fully integrated secure element-like functionality. The new MCUs also provides strong hardware Root-of-Trust and Secure Boot with First Stage Bootloader (FSBL) in immutable storage. XSPI interfaces with decryption-on-the-fly (DOTF) allow encrypted code images to be stored in external flash and decrypted on the fly as it is securely transferred to the MCU for execution.  Ready to Use Solutions  Renesas provides a wide range of easy-to-use tools and solutions for the RA8P1 MCUs, including the Flexible Software Package (FSP), evaluation kits and development tools. FreeRTOS and Azure RTOS are supported, as is Zephyr. Several Renesas software example projects and application notes are available to enable faster time to market. In addition, numerous partner solutions are available to support development with the RA8P1 MCUs, including a driver monitoring solution from Nota.AI and a traffic/pedestrian monitoring solution from Irida Labs.
