Magnachip Expands Power Semiconductor Portfolio with 15 New Gen6 E6…

Event summary

Magnachip launched 15 new sixth-generation (Gen6) E6 super-junction (SJ) MOSFETs for consumer and computing power applications.
The E6 Series is designed for balanced thermal, switching, and EMI performance, targeting TV SMPS, notebook adapters, and PC power supplies.
Magnachip tested a 600 V, 280 mΩ E6 MOSFET in a TV power supply, showing approximately 5.3% lower operating temperature compared to previous generations.
The E6 Series includes 500 V and 600 V MOSFETs in various packages, offering flexibility for different thermal and PCB mounting requirements.
The MOSFETs are now in mass production.
