Alpha and Omega Semiconductor (AOS) has introduced the AOPL66801, an 80 V MOSFET integrating a half-bridge configuration within its new DFN6×5 AmpStack™ package. The vertically stacked dual-die architecture is designed to increase power density, reduce parasitic inductance, and simplify PCB design for high-performance power conversion applications ranging from AI data center power supplies to industrial equipment and cordless power tools.
Unlike conventional implementations using two separate DFN5×6 MOSFETs, the AOPL66801 integrates both the high-side and low-side MOSFETs into a single compact package. The stacked-die configuration improves PCB space utilization while reducing interconnect parasitics between the two switches.
AOS has also optimized the package’s internal clip structure connecting the half-bridge switch node, minimizing parasitic inductance that typically contributes to voltage overshoot and switching losses.
The integrated package helps reduce phase-node voltage ringing and switching stress compared with discrete implementations by shortening current paths and lowering PCB parasitics.
The device also incorporates a dedicated Kelvin source pin, providing a cleaner gate-drive reference during high di/dt switching events. This improves gate-voltage stability, enhances switching performance, and reduces overall switching losses, particularly in high-frequency power conversion designs.
The AOPL66801 supports demanding thermal and electrical requirements through:
- 80 V drain-source voltage rating
- Integrated half-bridge configuration
- Maximum junction temperature of 175°C
- Low 2.2 mΩ maximum RDS(on) (both high-side and low-side MOSFETs)
- Reduced parasitic inductance through optimized package design
The integrated architecture enables designers to increase converter power density while improving reliability and simplifying PCB layout.
The new AmpStack™ MOSFET is intended for a broad range of high-power applications, including:
- AI data center power supplies
- High-density DC-DC converters
- Industrial power supplies
- Battery-powered power tools
- General high-performance power conversion systems

Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited (AOS) introduced the company’s next generation (Gen3) 1200V αSiC MOSFETs designed to maximize efficiency in a growing market of high power applications. These Gen3 MOSFETs provide up to 30 percent improved switching figure-of-merit (FOM) compared to AOS’ previous generation while maintaining low conduction losses at high load conditions. The performance improvements do not compromise ruggedness and reliability, as the Gen3 MOSFETs have full AEC-Q101 qualification, with extended lifetime and HV-H3TRB capabilities.
As power demands surge in electric vehicles (EVs), AI data centers, and renewable energy systems, inefficiencies in power conversion stages can significantly strain electrical supply and cooling systems. For EV designs, AOS’ Gen3 αSiC MOSFETs enable engineers to create higher power density systems with greater efficiency, reducing battery consumption and extending vehicle range. Future AI data centers adopting high-voltage DC (HVDC) architectures, such as 800V or ±400V, will benefit from reduced losses and increased power density to meet growing power requirements. To support these higher system voltages, AOS’ Gen3 1200V devices will be critical for enabling new topologies with the necessary efficiency.
The new AOS Gen3 1200V MOSFETs are available with an on-resistance (Rds(on)) range from 15mOhm (AOM015V120X3Q) to 40mOhm (AOM040V120X3Q) in a TO27-4L package.
