SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 11, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited (AOS) (Nasdaq:AOSL), a designer, developer and global
supplier of a broad range of power semiconductors and power ICs, today announced the release of AOTF190A60L, the first product in the new αMOS5TM HV MOSFET platform. This
device provides high-efficiency performance in an easy-to-use solution optimized for server power supplies, high-end computers,
charging stations and other high-performance applications. αMOS5TM reduces the on-resistance ‟RDS x A”
per unit area by 30% versus the previous generation, enabling lower conduction losses in the application. It also enables
future HV product offerings to fulfill the market trend of higher power density in new, smaller and more efficient packages.

Additionally, αMOS5TM significantly improves switching performance compared to major competitors; AOTF190A60L offers
lower total gate charge with much shorter switching plateau time, which helps reduce switching losses. The new product is
packaged in a full-molded TO-220F and has a maximum RDS(ON) of 190mohm.
αMOS5TM was engineered to provide superior EMI performance by optimizing parasitic parameter behavior.
The following waveform comparison shows how the EMI is controlled, with a suppressed reverse recovery current (Irr) and a much
smoother voltage ramp up during the device turn off.
‟The switched-mode power supply is the energy heart in modern IT equipment. The demand for higher power conversion efficiency is
driven by the huge amount of electricity consumed by power supplies around the world. High performance converting topologies such
as LLC have become the standard solution for most AC/DC converters used by servers inside data center and telecom infrastructure.
MOSFET performance is critical to achieving the highest efficiency provided by the power converters. We are glad to announce the
release of the AOTF190A60L, based on our latest high voltage MOSFET platform – αMOS5TM. The new technology platform
targets high efficiency solutions in both PFC and LLC applications,” said Simon Lu, Marketing Director of HV MOSFET product line at
AOS.
Pricing and Availability
The AOTF190A60L is immediately available in production quantities with a lead-time of 12-14 weeks. The unit price for 1,000
pieces is $2.24.
