SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 8, 2026--
Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited (AOS) (Nasdaq: AOSL), a designer, developer, and global supplier of a broad range of discrete power devices, wide-bandgap power devices, power management ICs and modules, today announced the release of αMOS E2™ 600V Super Junction MOSFETs: AOGT037V60DE2 and AOGT060V60DE2. AOS engineered its newly developed αMOS E2 High-Voltage MOSFET platform to meet the growing demands for enhanced efficiency and increased power density management capabilities. These 600V Super Junction MOSFETs provide excellent performance across a wide range of today’s higher voltage applications, including servers, workstations, telecom rectifiers, solar inverters, motor drives and industrial power systems.

Users of the latest high-performance SMPS and solar inverters expect higher efficiency, greater power density, lower system cost and uncompromising robustness. The advanced technology features in AOS’ top-side-cooled high-voltage Super Junction MOSFETs address these needs. These devices also meet the critical requirements in multiple topologies such as boost PFC, totem-pole PFC (slow leg), LLC resonant, PSFB and cyclo-converters.
AOS’ αMOS E2 High-Voltage Super Junction MOSFET platform features exceptional body-diode ruggedness (di/dt = 1500 A/µs), superior avalanche (UIS) capability, and short-circuit withstand time (SCWT). This enhanced ruggedness translates into higher system-level reliability, helping to ensure robust operation even under abnormal scenarios. Furthermore, AOS combines this αMOS E2 silicon with its top-side-cooled GTPAK™ package to maximize thermal performance via the top-side cooling pad. As a result, system designers can fully optimize thermal dissipation and reclaim PCB space to maximize overall power density. By co-optimizing both the electrical and thermal paths, system performance and long-term reliability are greatly enhanced.
“Our top-side cooled GTPAK products, such as the AOGT037V60DE2 and AOGT060V60DE2, are engineered to meet the demands of high-performance AC/DC power supplies, DC/DC converters and DC/AC solar inverters. Electromagnetic emission (EMI) and density bottlenecks of traditional bottom-side cooling have been a major engineering hurdle. Our αMOS E2 top-side cooled solutions give designers a premier solution for mid-to-high-power systems, empowering the performance-driven power infrastructure, power supply units, and renewable energy systems,” said Simon Yu, Senior Manager of HV Product Line at AOS.
