SEOUL, South Korea and
SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- MagnaChip
Semiconductor Corporation ("MagnaChip" or the "Company") (NYSE:
MX), a designer and manufacturer of analog and mixed-signal
semiconductor products, announced today the release of a 100V
Mid-Voltage MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field-Effect
Transistor) with a new thermal package ("M2PAK-7P") designed for
the fast-growing e-Bike market. This MOSFET with M2PAK-7P is
suitable to meet the particular requirements of electric bike
(e-Bike) systems.
E-Bikes, an emerging trend especially with electric scooters,
have become an integral part of a new eco-friendly wave of
transportation, and represent a "green personal mobility" movement
in urban markets. According to market forecasters, the global
e-Bike market is projected to grow at about CAGR of 9% to reach an
estimated $39 billion by 2025 from an
estimated $21 billion in 2018.
E-Bikes and electric scooters are powered by electric motors
running on lithium-ion batteries. MagnaChip's 100V MOSFET,
featuring a best-in-class thermal package, is an essential
electronic device that controls the speed of the motor and supplies
a stable current of electric power to the lithium-ion Battery
Management System (BMS). The 100V MOSFET is a product of
MagnaChip's Power Products Division which offers a wide range of
products including a family of MOSFETS, IGBT devices, Battery FETS
and Power ICs.
MagnaChip's 100V Mid-Voltage MOSFET is especially suitable for
e-Bikes requiring high power systems. With M2PAK-7P, this new
MOSFET achieves a best-in-class thermal performance and a lower
Rds(on)*, as compared to other MOSFET products currently on the
market. It also increases the maximum operating current to
240A. These features enable a high level of operational
efficiency and a secure supply of power, both of which are
necessary for high-powered e-Bikes.
MagnaChip also plans to introduce 80V and 135V Mid-Voltage
MOSFET products in M2PAK-7P. With this strategy, MagnaChip
plans to aggressively expand its presence within the e-Bike market
and become an industry leader for all power products within it.
"The emergence of e-Bike is a highly attractive opportunity for
MagnaChip," said YJ Kim, CEO of
MagnaChip. "Our 100V MOSFET product in a specially-designed thermal
package is designed for the particular needs of motors and
lithium-ion batteries that power e-bikes like electric scooters.
MagnaChip plans to launch new Mid-Voltage MOSFET products with
M2PAK-7P to meet the evolving needs of this rapidly-growing
consumer sector."

Editor's Note:* Rds(on): On resistance,
the resistance value between the drain and source of a MOSFET
during operation (ON).
