Read MoreHide Full Article

Alpha and Omega Semiconductor (AOSL - Free Report) recently unveiled AONZ66412 XSPairFET MOSFET for Buck-Boost converters in USB PD 3.1 Extended Power Range (EPR) applications.

The USB PD 3.1 standard has set the stage for devices to handle higher power levels, up to 240W. The XSPairFET by AOS is engineered precisely to support a common high-power range of up to 140W at 28V, with two 40V N-Channel MOSFETs in a half-bridge configuration in a symmetric XSPairFET 5mmx6mm package.

The state-of-the-art solution is specifically designed to replace two single DFN5x6 MOSFETs, which scales down and streamlines the PCB area to enhance the efficiency of the design. With these advantages, AONZ66412 is perfect for buck-boost converters in Type-C USB 3.1 EPR applications, such as power bank designs, notebooks and USB hubs.

By pushing the boundaries of power density and efficiency, AOSL is enabling manufacturers to create more powerful and energy-efficient products that cater to the evolving needs of its core consumers. The introduction of the XSPairFET component fosters AOSL’s commitment to innovation and development.

The model AONZ66412 is available in production quantities with a lead time of 16 weeks. The unit price in 1,000-piece quantities is $1.56.

Based in Sunnyvale, CA, AOSL is a semiconductor company that designs, develops and markets a wide range of power semiconductors worldwide. It boasts a robust portfolio of Power MOSFET, SiC, IGBT, IPM, TVS, HV Gate Drivers, Power IC and Digital Power products.

In the last reported quarter, AOSL registered net sales of $165.3 million, meeting the Zacks Consensus Estimate. For the current quarter ending in March, Alpha and Omega foresees revenues in the band of $140 million to $160 million.

AOSL currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Shares of AOSL have lost 17.7% in the past year against the sub-industry’s  growth of 81.2%.
