April 3, 2026 /SemiMedia/ — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has introduced the VODA1275, an automotive-grade MOSFET driver in a compact SMD-4 package. It provides an 8 mm creepage distance and uses a mold compound with a CTI of 600, targeting high-voltage EV and HEV applications.

The VODA1275 features the industry’s fastest turn-on times, a typical open circuit voltage of 20 V, short circuit current of 20 μA, and an 80 μs turn-on time — three times faster than competing devices. Its working isolation voltage of 1260 Vpeak and isolation test voltage of 5300 VRMS make it suitable for 800 V+ battery systems.

AEC-Q102 qualified, the driver is designed for pre-charge circuits, wall chargers, and battery management systems. Its high open circuit output voltage allows designers to use a single driver instead of two in series, reducing space and cost. The device also supports custom solid-state relays to replace mechanical relays in next-generation vehicles.

The optically isolated VODA1275 draws its internal current from a low-voltage infrared emitter, eliminating the need for an external power supply. The device is RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and Vishay Green certified. Samples and production quantities are available now, with eight-week lead times.
