Nexperia, a global semiconductor company, develops and produces essential semiconductors with a focus on efficiency and high-volume production and is headquartered in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. Originally part of NXP Semiconductors, Nexperia became an independent company in 2017. Nexperia supports the automotive, mobile, industrial, and consumer markets by effectively delivering key semiconductors with improved energy efficiency and performance in compact designs.
Nexperia is a subsidiary of Wingtech, a Chinese electronics manufacturer, which strengthens its supply chain and market access in Asia. Nexperia has global distribution partnerships with companies like Digi-Key and Mouser. It has partnered with Kyocera AVX Components for GaN-based power electronics solutions and has collaborated with academic and research institutions in Europe to drive R&D in semiconductor technologies.
Nexperia specializes in discrete components, logic devices, and MOSFETs, with a focus on high-volume manufacturing. Their product lines include:
Diodes and Rectifiers: Nexperia is a global leader in the high-volume production of diodes and rectifiers, known for high efficiency, reliability, and compact form factors. These components are widely used in automotive, industrial, computing, and consumer electronics. The product portfolio includes ESD Protection Diodes, Schottky Diodes, Zener Diodes, Rectifier Diodes, Small Signal Switching Diodes, and TVS (Transient Voltage Suppression) Diodes.
Transistors: Nexperia offers a broad range of discrete transistors designed for signal amplification, switching, and power control. These include Bipolar Junction Transistors, Digital Transistors, Darlington Transistors, MOSFET Driver Transistors, and RF Transistors. They feature efficient high-speed switching while being available in an ultra-small packaging and adhering to automotive standards.
MOSFETs: Nexperia offers a wide range of discrete MOSFETs designed for efficiency, reliability, and scalability in high-volume applications such as automotive, industrial, computing, mobile, and consumer electronics. MOSFET types include low-voltage and high-voltage MOSFETs and application-specific MOSFETs (ASFETs). Nexperia has also introduced its flagship MOSFET technology, TrenchMOS, with superior switching performance and reduced on-state resistance. Nexperia's MOSFETs are available in ultra-compact surface mount technologies such as SOT23, LFPAK33, LFPAK56, DFN2020, and DFN3333 packages.
IGBTs: Nexperia's IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors) are suited for power switching and energy conversion applications as they combine the high-voltage capabilities of bipolar transistors with the efficiency of MOSFETs. The IGBT portfolio includes standard IGBTs, fast-switching IGBTs, and IGBTs with anti-parallel diodes. Nexperia manufactures its IGBTs in industry-standard packages such as TO-247, TO-220, and surface-mount D2PAK (for compact high-power designs).
GaN FETs: Nexperia's GaN FETs provide faster switching, lower losses, and smaller system sizes than traditional silicon MOSFETs. Built on proven, scalable GaN-on-Si technology, they offer robust gate control with industry-standard 0–6 V drive. They are available in CCPAK, WLCSP, and DFN 8x8 / DFN 5x6 packages.
Analog and Logic ICs: Nexperia is a major supplier of high-volume, high-performance analog and logic integrated circuits designed for signal processing, power control, interface bridging, and general logic functions across automotive, industrial, consumer, and computing markets. The product portfolio includes analog switches, multiplexers, control logic solutions, voltage translators/ level-shifters, digital isolators, transformer drivers, GPIO expanders, and translators. They are available in XSON, DHVQFN, SOT, and WLCSP packages.
Nexperia's strategic roadmap focuses on expanding its semiconductor portfolio and enhancing manufacturing processes to meet the evolving demands of the electronics industry. Key initiatives include:
Wide-Bandgap Technologies: To create high-voltage power solutions, Nexperia is investing in wide-bandgap semiconductors like silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN). The goal of these initiatives is to improve the performance of power electronics applications.
Energy Harvesting Solutions: Nexperia's dedication to energy-efficient designs is demonstrated by the launch of the NEH71x0 power management IC (PMIC) series. These PMICs promote low-power, sustainable applications by doing away with the requirement for external inductors, which lowers bill-of-materials costs and circuit board area.
Advanced Packaging Technologies: Packaging solutions like CCPAK, LFPAK, and CFP continue to be developed by Nexperia. In DC-DC converters and other power management systems, these clip-bond packages improve thermal performance and efficiency.
Smart Manufacturing: For its back-end operations in Asia, Nexperia is putting its smart manufacturing roadmap into action. The goal of this project is to increase semiconductor production's automation and efficiency.
Carbon Neutrality Goal: With an emphasis on cutting direct operating emissions and switching to 100% renewable electricity across all activities and factories globally, Nexperia has set a goal to become carbon neutral by 2035.
