Fed Governor Adriana Kugler to resign
SUNNYVALE, Calif. - Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited (NASDAQ:AOSL), a prominent supplier of wide array of power semiconductor products valued at $553.88 million in market capitalization, has announced the launch of its third-generation (Gen3) 1200V alpha silicon carbide (αSiC) MOSFETs. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a strong balance sheet with more cash than debt, positioning it well for continued product innovation. These new components are engineered to enhance efficiency in high-power applications such as electric vehicles (EVs), artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, and renewable energy systems.
The company’s latest MOSFETs boast up to a 30 percent improvement in switching figure-of-merit (FOM) over the previous generation, while maintaining low conduction losses, even under high load conditions. AOS emphasizes that these advancements do not sacrifice durability and reliability, as the Gen3 MOSFETs meet AEC-Q101 standards, ensuring extended lifetime and high-voltage, high-temperature reverse bias (HV-H3TRB) capabilities.
AOS’s new Gen3 MOSFETs are available in various on-resistance (Rds(on)) ranges, from 15mOhm to 40mOhm, and are packaged in a TO-247-4L format. The company also plans to release these MOSFETs in additional surface mount and topside cooled packages, as well as in case modules. Furthermore, AOS has qualified a larger Gen3 1200V/11mOhm MOSFET die, which is designed for high-power EV traction inverter modules and is available for wafer sales.
These advancements are particularly relevant for EVs, where they can help engineers develop higher power density systems with greater efficiency, potentially reducing battery consumption and extending vehicle range. The new MOSFETs are also expected to play a critical role in supporting the higher system voltages required for future AI data centers adopting high-voltage DC (HVDC) architectures. Trading at an EV/EBITDA multiple of just 1.95x, InvestingPro analysis indicates the stock may be undervalued, suggesting potential upside for investors interested in the semiconductor space.
David Sheridan, Vice President of Wide Bandgap products at AOS, stated, "Electric vehicles and AI are transforming industries, but they require advanced power systems that can maintain efficiency even as energy demands increase. We’re excited that this next generation of AOS αSiC MOSFETs can deliver the performance our customers require while making a positive environmental impact."
For additional information on product specifications, pricing, and availability, AOS advises contacting local sales representatives. With earnings scheduled for May 7th, investors can access comprehensive analysis and additional insights through InvestingPro’s detailed research reports, which offer expert analysis on over 1,400 US stocks, including AOSL’s financial health metrics and growth prospects.
