Engineering Selection Guidelines

1. Decide Whether You Need an Integrated MOSFET or a Controller + External MOSFET Architecture

Integrated Smart High-Side Solution

• Simplifies PCB design.
• Built-in protections/diagnostics.
• Thermal design becomes critical due to single-package power density.
• Good for low/medium/high current depending on model (Infineon offers up to 60A).

Controller + External Power MOSFET

• Extremely flexible and scalable.
• Allows selecting ultra-low-RDS(on) MOSFETs for better thermal efficiency.
• More complex PCB + gate drive responsibility.
• Best for very high current or cost-optimized designs.

2. RDS(on) & Thermal Considerations

In 48V systems, currents can be high (e.g., motor loads or heaters).
Power loss = I² × RDS(on) becomes critical.

For relay replacement:
Prefer devices with explicitly rated 25A/35A/60A continuous load capability.

3. Protection & Diagnostics Requirements

Modern automotive smart-switch devices include:

• OCP (Over-Current Protection)
• Short-Circuit Protection
• OVP/UVLO
• Over-temperature shutdown
• Reverse-current blocking
• Fault reporting or SPI/I²C diagnostic channels

If used in domain controllers or intelligent fuse boxes, select devices with SPI/I²C diagnostics.

4. Automotive Certification (AEC-Q, ISO 26262)

Prefer devices labeled:

• AEC-Q100 / Q1
• Automotive-grade product series
• ISO 26262 documentation or ASIL support, if required

5. EMI, Load-Dump, Surge

48V systems demand strict handling of:

• Load-dump,
• Transient surge,
• ESD,
• Recommended external protection (TVS diodes, RC snubbers).

Vendor application notes provide validated reference circuits.

Typical Applications & Recommendations

• Automotive Power Distribution

(Heaters, pumps, fans, relays, small motors)
→ Use smart switches such as Infineon PROFET+ or TI TPS4H series.

• Large 48V Motor Loads / High Current Lines

→ Usually built with controller + low-RDS(on) external MOSFET,
or Infineon’s higher-power PROFET if the rated current fits.

• Zone/Body/ADAS Controller Sub-loads

→ TI smart switches (compact QFN packages, rich diagnostics) are ideal.

ROHM says that its power device portfolio spans both silicon and wide-bandgap technologies, including silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN), offering a strategic path for data-center designers. Its silicon MOSFETs are already widely adopted across automotive and industrial sectors, providing a cost-effective and reliable solution for power conversion needs. These are suitable for applications where price, efficiency and reliability must be balanced, making them a fit for transitional stages of AI infrastructure development.罗姆表示，其功率器件产品组合涵盖硅和宽带隙技术，包括碳化硅（SiC）和氮化镓（GaN），为数据中心设计师提供了一条战略路径。其硅基MOSFET已在汽车和工业领域广泛应用，为功率转换需求提供了经济高效且可靠的解决方案。这些产品适用于需要平衡价格、效率和可靠性的应用场景，因此也适合人工智能基础设施发展的过渡阶段。

An example is the RY7P250BM, a 100V power MOSFET endorsed by major global cloud providers designed specifically for hot-swap circuits in 48V power systems — an essential component in AI servers. Key features include what is claimed to be best-in-class SOA (safe operating area) performance and ultra-low ON-resistance (1.86mΩ) in a compact 8080 package. These characteristics help to reduce power loss and improve system reliability — crucial requirements in high-density, high-availability cloud platforms. As data centers transition from 12V to 48V and beyond, hot-swap capability becomes critical for maintaining uptime and protecting against inrush currents.例如 RY7P250BM，这是一款100V功率MOSFET，得到全球主要云服务提供商的认可，专为48V电源系统中的热插拔电路而设计，是人工智能服务器中的关键组件。其主要特性包括号称同类最佳的SOA（安全工作区）性能，以及采用紧凑的8080封装时具备的超低导通电阻（1.86毫欧）。这些特性有助于降低功率损耗并提高系统可靠性，这是高密度、高可用性云平台的关键要求。随着数据中心从12V向48V及更高电压过渡，热插拔能力对于保持正常运行时间和防止浪涌电流至关重要。

These characteristics align with the requirements of the NVIDIA 800V HVDC architecture, which aims to reduce copper usage, minimize energy losses, and simplify power conversion across the data center.罗姆的碳化硅（SiC）金属氧化物半导体场效应晶体管（MOSFET）据称在高电压、高功率环境中具有卓越性能，通过降低开关损耗和导通损耗提高效率，为紧凑、高密度系统提供更高的热稳定性，并在关键任务应用中具备可靠的性能。这些特性与英伟达800V高压直流（HVDC）架构的要求相符，该架构旨在减少铜的使用量、将能量损耗降至最低，并简化数据中心的功率转换。

Complementing SiC, ROHM is advancing gallium nitride technologies under its EcoGaN brand. While SiC is best-suited for high-voltage, high-current applications, GaN offers exceptional performance in the 100V to 650V range, with superior breakdown field strength, low ON-resistance, and ultra-fast switching. ROHM’s broad EcoGaNTM lineup includes 150V and 650V GaN HEMTs, gate drivers, and integrated power stage ICs. At the same time, proprietary Nano Pulse Control technology further improves switching performance, reducing pulse widths to as low as 2ns. These innovations support the growing demand for smaller, more efficient power systems in AI data centers.作为碳化硅（SiC）的补充，罗姆（ROHM）正在以其EcoGaN品牌推进氮化镓（GaN）技术。虽然碳化硅最适合用于高电压、大电流应用，但氮化镓在100V至650V范围内具有卓越的性能，具备出色的击穿场强、低导通电阻和超快开关速度。罗姆广泛的EcoGaNTM产品阵容包括150V和650V氮化镓高电子迁移率晶体管（GaN HEMT）、栅极驱动器和集成功率级IC。与此同时，专有的纳米脉冲控制技术进一步提升了开关性能，将脉冲宽度降低至低至2ns。这些创新满足了人工智能数据中心对更小、更高效电源系统不断增长的需求。

Beyond discrete devices, ROHM offers a lineup of high-power SiC modules, including top-side-cooling molded packages such as the HSDIP20, equipped with advanced 4th Gen SiC chips. These 1200V SiC modules are optimized for LLC topologies in AC-DC converters and primary-side applications in DC-DC converters. Engineered for high-efficiency, high-density power conversion, they are particularly well suited for the centralized power systems envisioned in NVIDIA’s architecture. Their robust thermal performance and scalability make them suitable for 800V busways and MW-scale rack configurations.除分立器件外，ROHM还提供一系列高功率碳化硅（SiC）模块，包括采用顶部散热模压封装的HSDIP20等，配备先进的第四代碳化硅芯片。这些1200V碳化硅模块针对AC – DC转换器中的LLC拓扑结构以及DC – DC转换器中的初级侧应用进行了优化。它们专为高效、高密度功率转换而设计，尤其适用于英伟达架构中设想的集中式电源系统。其强大的热性能和可扩展性使其适用于800V母线和兆瓦级机架配置。

About XPI

Since 2021, X.Pi has been committed to the subdivision of the electronics industry. With a solid technical foundation and original plant resources, we provide comprehensive electronic component supply services and product solutions to customers worldwide.

Our business covers two core areas. As a professional solution provider, we focus on professional solution design in the areas of IoT system solutions, automotive electronics, charging racks and power conversion. By translating cutting-edge technologies into practical applications, we help our customers’ products become more competitive in the marketplace. At the same time, we provide IC product services to customers worldwide, and with a global product line and a stable supply system, we are able to meet the diverse needs of our customers.

The rapid pace of semiconductor innovation has made the world smarter, healthier, greener, and better connected. And chips are powering the transformative technologies of tomorrow, including artificial intelligence, autonomous driving and electric vehicles, and advanced wireless networks.

In 2023, despite a cyclical market downturn that lingered early in the year, global sales rebounded the second half of the year to reach $527 billion. Nearly 1 trillion semiconductors were sold globally, more than 100 chips for every person on earth. With the downturn now over and demand for semiconductors high, industry analysts project double-digit annual growth in 2024.

Rising demand has also prompted new industry investments to increase chip production. Thanks in part to the landmark CHIPS and Science Act, the United States is forecast to secure a larger share of new private investment in semiconductor manufacturing. In fact, as of August 2024, companies in the semiconductor ecosystem had announced more than 90 new manufacturing projects in the U.S. since CHIPS was first introduced in Congress, totaling nearly $450 billion in announced investments across 28 states. These investments are projected to create tens of thousands of direct jobs and support hundreds of thousands of additional jobs throughout the U.S. economy. The industry is also making investments in countries around the world, creating a resilient supply chain.

In the decade following CHIPS enactment (2022 to 2032), the United States is projected to more than triple its semiconductor manufacturing capacity — the highest rate of growth in the world during that period — according to a May 2024 SIA-Boston Consulting Group report. The report also forecasts the U.S. will grow its share of advanced (less than 10nm) chip manufacturing to 28% of global capacity by 2032 and capture 28% of total global capital expenditures (capex) from 2024 to 2032. By comparison, in the absence of the CHIPS Act, the report estimates the U.S. would have captured only 9% of global capex by 2032.

Reinforcing chip supply chains on U.S. shores offers tremendous opportunities, but it also presents significant challenges. For example, as U.S. chip operations expand in the years ahead, so too will demand for skilled talent. A 2023 SIA-Oxford Economics study projected a shortfall of 67,000 technicians, computer scientists, and engineers in the semiconductor industry by 2030 and a gap of 1.4 million such workers throughout the broader U.S. economy. For the semiconductor industry to grow and innovate at its full potential, and for domestic investment projections to be fully realized, government leaders must advance policies that build on our industry’s longstanding workforce development efforts, expand the pipeline of STEM graduates in America, and retain and attract more of the top engineers and scientists from around the world.

Policy action is needed in other areas as well if we are to build on our current momentum. The U.S. should adopt measures to further strengthen the semiconductor supply chain by extending the duration of the incentives under the CHIPS and Science Act, including the advanced manufacturing investment credit, which is scheduled to expire in 2026.

Further, the existing CHIPS tax credit should be expanded to include chip design to ensure more of this critical process is conducted in the U.S. In addition, the U.S. should continue to fund the federal research programs authorized in the CHIPS and Science Act to maintain and grow U.S. technology leadership. And to ensure the U.S. semiconductor industry remains globally competitive and able to continuously invest in research and innovation, the U.S. should pursue agreements and initiatives that open access to overseas markets where companies can sell the chips manufactured here at home.

Semiconductors have never played a more important role in society than they do today, and the future of our industry has never been brighter. SIA looks forward to continuing to work with government leaders to strengthen this foundational industry for many years to come.

But two years ago, leaders in Washington took bipartisan action to address this vulnerability by enacting the CHIPS Act to spark greater U.S.-based semiconductor production and innovation through $52 billion in manufacturing incentives and research investments. CHIPS was a bold, bipartisan bet that by making the U.S. a more cost-competitive location for chip fabrication and research, America could turn the tide of recent history and attract more semiconductor projects to strengthen our economy, national security, and supply chains.

So far, that bet is paying off and beginning to deliver a huge return on investment. Companies in the semiconductor ecosystem have announced more than 80 new projects across 25 U.S. states—totaling nearly $450 billion in private investments—since CHIPS was first introduced in 2020. These projects are expected to create more than 56,000 direct jobs and support hundreds of thousands of additional jobs throughout the U.S. economy. The CHIPS Program Office reached preliminary agreements with 15 companies for 23 projects in 15 states, representing critical investments throughout the semiconductor supply chain.

And the new company investments, incentivized by CHIPS, are on track to significantly expand American semiconductor production from companies based in the U.S. and those based abroad. In fact, the U.S. is projected to more than triple its semiconductor manufacturing capacity from 2022 to 2032—the highest rate of growth in the world during that period—according to a recent report by SIA and the Boston Consulting Group.

The report also forecasts the U.S. will grow its share of advanced chip manufacturing to 28% of global capacity by 2032 and capture the same percentage of total global capital expenditures (capex) from 2024-2032—both massive improvements over the current landscape. In the absence of the CHIPS Act, the report estimates the U.S. would have captured only 9% of global capex by 2032.

Achieving these projections would make the U.S. less vulnerable to supply chain disruptions for the countless industries that rely on semiconductors, including the automotive, medical device, and defense sectors. It would also help give America a leg up in developing the technologies of the future. To achieve these goals, it is essential for the Department of Commerce to finalize the current project agreements and begin disbursing funds, commit the remaining incentives, and ramp up important research programs.

To be sure, the road to revitalizing domestic chip production and innovation is long and winding, and there will be bumps along the way. That is why government and industry must continue to work together to drive strategic action in four areas that will help ensure a strong and enduring semiconductor ecosystem in the U.S.: incentivizing further investment in the U.S., strengthening the workforce, advancing research and innovation, and promoting open markets.

First, CHIPS incentives, which have proved successful in sparking company investments in the U.S., should be extended and expanded. An example is the CHIPS “advanced manufacturing investment credit,” which allows companies to receive a tax credit for expenses related to their semiconductor manufacturing footprint in the U.S. Congress should extend the duration of the existing credit and expand it to cover semiconductor design—the complex mapping of a chip’s intricate circuitry—and other critical areas of the semiconductor ecosystem. As part of the broader tax debate in 2025, Congress should pass legislation to extend the duration of the credit beyond the 2026 expiration date and enact bipartisan legislation introduced last week that would expand the credit to cover design expenses. 

Second, we must work to broaden the STEM talent pipeline feeding the semiconductor industry and the entire U.S. economy. As America’s semiconductor footprint expands in the years ahead, so too will demand for skilled workers in the industry. In fact, the U.S. faces a projected shortage of 67,000 technicians, computer scientists, and engineers, in the semiconductor industry by 2030—and a gap of 1.4 million skilled workers throughout the broader U.S. economy. To address this challenge, the U.S. must adopt policies to build on the industry’s longstanding workforce development efforts, grow the pipeline of STEM graduates in America, and retain and attract more of the top engineers and scientists from around the world.

Third, we must invest ambitiously in research and innovation to maintain America’s lead in the key technologies of today and tomorrow. The U.S. semiconductor industry invests an average of one-fifth of its revenue into R&D annually, one of the highest shares of any industry. To supplement the industry’s R&D investments, CHIPS appropriated funding for semiconductor research initiatives, including the National Semiconductor Technology Center (NSTC) and the National Advanced Packaging Manufacturing Program (NAPMP). These critically important programs must continue to come to life in a timely and effective manner. Additionally, CHIPS authorized—but did not appropriate—a larger sum of planned funding for basic scientific research. Congress should ramp up research funding to match the broader goals set forth in the CHIPS and Science Act.

Fourth, we must advance smart, strategic international partnerships and trade policies that boost global demand and open new markets for U.S.-made chips. With more chip production occurring on U.S. shores, it’s even more important for the industry to be able to reach its customers, about three-quarters of whom are overseas. Unfortunately, our exports of chips to the world actually decreased last year. Ensuring greater access to markets around the world—and working collaboratively with partners and allies to strengthen global semiconductor supply chains—is essential to ensure the U.S. chip industry maintains its competitive edge, and to enable companies to continue investing in research and innovation here at home.

To lead the future, America must lead the world in semiconductors. Successful collaboration by government and industry has put America on the path to achieving an historic semiconductor resurgence and greater economic strength, national security, and supply chain resilience.

WASHINGTON—May 8, 2024—The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), in partnership with the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), today released a report on the global chip supply chain that projects the United States will triple its domestic semiconductor manufacturing capacity from 2022—when the CHIPS and Science Act (CHIPS) was enacted—to 2032. The projected 203% growth is the largest projected percent increase in the world over that time.

The study, titled “Emerging Resilience in the Semiconductor Supply Chain,” also projects the U.S. will grow its share of advanced logic (below 10nm) manufacturing to 28% of global capacity by 2032, up from 0% in 2022. Additionally, America is projected to capture over one-quarter (28%) of total global capital expenditures (capex) from 2024-2032, ranking second only to Taiwan (31%). In the absence of the CHIPS Act, the U.S. would have captured only 9% of global capex by 2032, according to the report.

While the report finds investments from the industry—facilitated by CHIPS incentives—are on track to reinvigorate semiconductor manufacturing in America and reinforce U.S. chip supply chains, it also identifies policy actions that will further strengthen supply chains, support R&D and chip design, grow the semiconductor workforce, and ensure CHIPS delivers maximum benefits to America’s economic and national security.

The report also analyzes the efforts underway in other countries to incentivize chip production and innovation and the criticality of ensuring chip companies have open access to global customers and suppliers, among other topics.

“Effective policies, such as the CHIPS and Science Act, are spurring more investments in the U.S. semiconductor industry. These investments will help America grow its share of global semiconductor production and innovation, furthering economic growth and technological competitiveness,” said Rich Templeton, Chairman of the Board at Texas Instruments and SIA board chair. “Continued and expanded government-industry collaboration will help ensure we build on this momentum and continue our next steps forward.”

Other key report findings:

• America’s world-leading 203% projected increase in fab capacity from 2022 to 2032 stands in stark contrast to its modest 11% increase from the previous decade (2012-2022), which ranked last among all major chip-producing regions, according to the SIA/BCG report.
• The U.S. share of the world’s chip manufacturing capacity will increase from 10% in 2022—when the CHIPS and Science Act was enacted—to 14% by 2032, marking the first time in decades the U.S. has grown its domestic chip manufacturing footprint relative to the rest of the world. In the absence of CHIPS enactment, the U.S. share would have slipped further to 8% by 2032, according to the report.
• The U.S. continues to lead the world in its overall contribution to the global value chain, with strong leadership positions in high value-added areas of semiconductor technology, including chip design, electronic design automation (EDA), and semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

The report also finds industrial policies have the potential to create additional bottlenecks that increase supply chain risk. Certain segments of the semiconductor supply chain are at risk if incentive programs and large-scale industrial policies lead to non-market-based investment, which can result in overconcentration or oversupply. Government incentives should focus on enabling targeted, distributed, market-based investments.

Further, the study highlights the ways in which governments and companies are taking concerted action to increase resilience. The U.S. CHIPS Act committed $39 billion in incentives for semiconductor manufacturing, plus a separate advanced manufacturing investment tax credit. The European Union unveiled the European CHIPS Act, China initiated the third phase of its Integrated Circuit (IC) Industry Investment Fund, and various other incentive programs have emerged in Taiwan, Korea, Japan, India, and around the world. In parallel, companies have made significant investments, in both established and new regions. The report projects around $2.3 trillion in capex in 2024-2032, compared to $720 billion in the decade prior to enactment of the CHIPS Act (2013-2022).

Despite the progress made to strengthen U.S.-based semiconductor manufacturing, additional government policy actions are needed to help ensure America stays on track to address lingering supply chain vulnerabilities and grow its share of fabrication capacity, while also increasing its strength in areas such as advanced logic, design, EDA, and equipment in the face of growing global competition.

“The CHIPS and Science Act has put America on course to significantly strengthen domestic semiconductor production and R&D, but more work is needed to finish the job,” said John Neuffer, SIA president and CEO. “We look forward to working with government leaders to advance policies that broaden the STEM talent pipeline, invest in scientific research, promote free trade and access to global markets, and expand and extend critical CHIPS incentives.” 

The CHIPS Act’s manufacturing incentives have sparked substantial announced investments in the U.S. In fact, companies in the semiconductor ecosystem have announced more than 80 new projects across 25 U.S. states—totaling nearly $450 billion in private investments—since the CHIPS Act was introduced. These announced projects will create more than 56,000 jobs in the semiconductor ecosystem and support hundreds of thousands of additional U.S. jobs throughout the U.S. economy.

“The global semiconductor industry posted double-digit sales increases on a year-to-year basis during each month of 2024, and worldwide sales in April increased on a month-to-month basis for the first time this year, indicating positive market momentum as we approach the middle of the year,” said John Neuffer, SIA president and CEO. “Additionally, the latest industry forecast projects strong annual growth in 2024, led by sales to the Americas market, which is expected to grow by more than 25% this year.”

Regionally, year-to-year sales in April increased in the Americas (32.4%), China (23.4%), and Asia Pacific/All Other (11.1%), but decreased in Europe (-7.0%) and Japan (-7.8%). Month-to-month sales in April increased in the Americas (4.2%), Japan (2.4%), and China (0.2%), but decreased in Asia Pacific/All Other (-0.5%) and Europe (-0.8%).

Additionally, SIA today endorsed the WSTS Spring 2024 global semiconductor sales forecast, which projects annual global sales will grow to $611.2 billion in 2024, which would be the industry’s highest-ever annual sales total. In 2025, global sales are projected to reach $687.4 billion.
