June 5, 2026 /SemiMedia/ — Vishay Intertechnology has introduced the VS-HOT200C080, a 200 A power module designed for 48 V traction inverters in light electric vehicles and belt-start generator and recuperation systems in mild-hybrid electric vehicles.

The module is designed to reduce board space and improve efficiency in high-current 48 V power systems. Vishay said the device can reduce PCB area requirements by up to 15% compared with standard discrete solutions.

The integrated MOSFETs feature on-resistance of 0.45 mΩ, which the company said reduces conduction losses by 32% compared with competing solutions. Lower conduction losses are important in 48 V traction and energy recuperation systems where thermal performance and power efficiency directly affect system design.

The VS-HOT200C080 integrates 80 V MOSFETs in a half-bridge configuration, a shunt resistor for current sensing, bypass capacitors to improve switching performance and an NTC thermistor for temperature sensing.

All functions are housed in an insulated 30 mm × 22.8 mm transfer-mold FlatPAK HC0 package with an electrically isolated exposed DBC substrate.

The module’s transfer-mold technology supports reliable operation across a wide temperature range from -55°C to +175°C, particularly under power cycling conditions. Vishay said the device is designed to meet severe AQG-324 reliability requirements.

The HC0 package places signal pins and power tabs at different heights, allowing designers to separate signal and power PCBs. This can simplify routing and support more compact system layouts. For additional board space savings, the signal and power PCBs can also be stacked.
