September 16, 2025 /SemiMedia/ — Nexperia has introduced its first range of 40-100 V automotive-grade MOSFETs in micro-lead packages (MLPAK), targeting applications such as body control, infotainment, reverse battery protection and in-vehicle LED lighting. The initial release includes 19 devices in MLPAK33-WF and the company’s first 40 V device in MLPAK56-WF, both featuring side-wettable flanks to improve solder joint inspection and automated optical inspection (AOI).

The launch comes as vehicle architectures shift from ECU-based systems to domain and zonal control, increasing the demand for efficient power components in DC/DC converters, inverters and battery management systems. Nexperia’s new MOSFETs combine cost efficiency with automotive-grade reliability, meeting AEC-Q101 qualification standards.

The portfolio offers a wide range of RDS(on) options and standardized footprints, enabling design flexibility and straightforward migration across packages. With high avalanche ratings, low spiking and strong switching performance, the devices can reduce the need for additional free-wheeling diodes or bulky snubbers, lowering overall system cost.

Nexperia said the release marks the beginning of a broader MLPAK roadmap, underscoring its strategy to deliver scalable, high-performance MOSFET solutions with proven quality and robust supply chain support.
