ROHM Launches A MOSFET With Industry-Leading* Wide-SOA For Automotive Safety Functions And Protection Circuits

ROHM has developed the RS4P063BPHZG, a 100V MOSFET optimized for automotive safety functions and protection circuits. The new product achieves industry-leading* Wide-SOA (Safe Operating Area) across a broad voltage range in the standard HPLF5060 (5060-size) package widely used in automotive applications. By incorporating a design that effectively suppresses secondary breakdown, it delivers approximately 5 times the SOA tolerance of standard equivalent-sized products under VDS=100V and PW=100μs. This contributes to greater reliability in automotive applications subject to momentary high-power loads, including airbag inflator ignition circuits and seatbelt pretensioner drive circuits.

Adopting the standard 5060-size package also simplifies replacement evaluation with existing layouts, helping reduce the workload and costs associated with design changes.

Recent advances in vehicle electrification are increasing the demand for automotive systems that support higher voltages and currents. In particular, safety functions and protection circuits may experience momentary high-power loads during abnormal or emergency conditions, requiring the MOSFETs that drive them to provide high SOA capability.

ROHM has established a strong track record of providing Wide-SOA products for AI servers and industrial power supplies, including products that have been selected as recommended components by a global cloud platform provider. The RS4P063BPHZG brings the same technologies and expertise to the automotive field.

Mass production began in June 2026 (a sample price $4.0/unit, excluding tax). The product is available for purchase through online distributors such as DigiKey and Farnell. Design models and development tools are also offered on ROHM’s website to support rapid circuit evaluation.

ROHM is developing automotive Wide-SOA MOSFETs in the HPLF8080 (8.0 × 8.0mm) and TOLG (TO-Leaded with Gullwing, 9.9 × 11.7mm) packages as well. Going forward, ROHM will continue expanding its portfolio for automotive safety functions and protection circuits.

Terminology

SOA (Safe Operating Area)

The defined range of voltage and current in which a device can operate reliably without risk of failure. Operating outside this boundary may result in thermal runaway or permanent damage. SOA is especially critical in applications exposed to inrush currents or overcurrent conditions. Wide-SOA devices suppress secondary breakdown in high-voltage regions to maintain safe operation over a broader voltage and current range.

Secondary Breakdown

A failure mode in which current flowing under high applied voltage becomes concentrated in localized areas within the device, leading to destruction. Suppressing secondary breakdown improves tolerance to short-duration high-power pulses.

Engineers Have Critical Role In Building Intelligent Systems: Sanket Deodhar, India Head, Anaplan

By Sanket Deodhar, India Head, Anaplan

* National Engineering Day 2026

* That brings together data, human judgement, and AI to support faster, better-informed decisions.

“Engineering excellence today is increasingly about designing systems that can adapt to change rather than simply perform under predictable conditions. As organisations navigate interconnected economic, operational and technological challenges, engineers have a critical role in building intelligent systems that bring together data, human judgement, and AI to support faster, better-informed decisions. AI will expand what these systems can do, but its true value will depend on trusted data, strong design and the ability to apply innovation responsibly. For India, strengthening its technological capabilities will increasingly depend on developing the talent and expertise to design and govern intelligent systems that are transparent, adaptable and resilient. The engineers of the future will therefore need to think beyond individual technologies and understand how data, AI and business decisions connect across the enterprise, helping organisations model change, evaluate different scenarios and respond with greater confidence.”

Trellix SecondSight Threat Hunting Report highlights Espionage And Supply Chain Risks

* Very much relevant to Indian organizations

* New report finds repeat diplomatic espionage campaign in Asia, a Southeast Asia-targeted credential stealer, and a global open-source supply chain compromise

Trellix, a global leader in cyber resilience for the AI era, highlighted findings from its latest Trellix SecondSight Threat Hunting Report with implications for Indian organizations. Examining five critical campaigns observed between January and June 2026, the report details diplomatic espionage in Asia, credential theft targeting Southeast Asia, and a global open-source supply chain compromise. These investigations illustrate how attackers exploit trusted accounts and software, offering lessons for Indian security teams assessing exposure in their own environments.

Trellix SecondSight Threat Hunting Report highlights:

A repeat diplomatic target in Asia: A June 2026 spear-phishing campaign against a European embassy located in Asia, attributed to Bitter APT, used a compromised diplomatic mailbox from an African country and a FIFA World Cup themed lure to deploy the BDarkRAT remote access trojan. Trellix SecondSight hunters traced the campaign's command-and-control domain back to an October 2025 attack on the same embassy, confirming a sustained, calculated espionage effort rather than an isolated intrusion.

A stealthy credential stealer targeting Southeast Asia: Active through the first half of 2026, the JSCeal campaign used an encoded PowerShell script to deploy a legitimate Node.js runtime alongside an encrypted, in-memory payload built to harvest browser-stored passwords, session cookies, and cryptocurrency wallet data from Southeast Asia-based organizations. Trellix SecondSight hunters traced the intrusion by following the PowerShell-to-Node.js execution chain back to its source and reverse engineering the payload's decryption logic.

A widely used open-source package compromised at the source: The March 2026 compromise of Axios, a JavaScript library downloaded roughly 100 million times weekly, followed the takeover of a maintainer's npm account and the publication of two malicious package versions installing a cross-platform remote access trojan. Working from public threat intelligence, Trellix SecondSight hunters identified the indicators in Trellix telemetry, reconstructed affected environments, and notified impacted customers, including organizations whose development environments may have been exposed through the compromised dependency.

“For organizations in India, these findings are a reminder that exposure can come through the software, accounts and suppliers they rely on every day,” said Ganesh Iyer, Managing Director, Trellix, India & SAARC. “A familiar application or a trusted sender does not guarantee that the activity is safe. Security teams need to connect what they know about emerging threats with what is happening in their own environments. Proactive threat hunting helps them investigate those connections early, so they can act before an intrusion becomes a wider business disruption.”

The report also examines an APT28 espionage campaign targeting European organizations and a nation-state iOS exploit chain. Across the five investigations, it shows how threat intelligence, AI-powered automation and human expertise can help security teams connect seemingly isolated activity and turn findings into defensive action.
