New Vishay Siliconix 8-V to 30-V P-Channel PowerPAK(R) SC-75 Power MOSFETs Feature On-Resistance as Low as 0.052 Ohms in 1.6 mm by 1.6 mm Footprint Area
MALVERN, PA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/20/08 -- Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today
released a family of p-channel power MOSFETs in the PowerPAK® SC-75,
including several devices rated from 8 V to 30 V that are industry firsts
for their voltage ratings in this package type.
Among the devices being released today are the industry's first -12-V
(SiB419DK) and -30-V (SiB415DK) single p-channel power MOSFETs in the
PowerPAK SC-75 package. The previously announced SiB417DK is the first such
-8-V device and is joined today by an ESD-protected version with the same
-8-V rating, the SiB417EDK. Both of these 8-V devices include on-resistance
specifications down to VGS = 1.2 V, potentially allowing designers to
reduce space requirements, power consumption, and solution cost by
eliminating the need for level-shift circuitry. The new products also
include two -20-V devices, the single SiB411DK and dual SiB911DK.
On-resistance for the single devices at a 4.5-V gate drive ranges from
0.052 ohms to 0.066 ohms.
The Vishay Siliconix PowerPAK SC-75 power MOSFETs measure 1.6 mm by 1.6 mm
by 0.75 mm -- the same area dimensions as the standard SC-75 -- but offer
much lower on-resistance thanks to a construction that accommodates a
larger die within the same footprint. In addition to helping the
environment by saving energy, the PowerPAK SC-75 is 100 % lead (Pb)-free,
halogen-free, and RoHS-compliant, meeting the demands of international
legislation for elimination of hazardous substances.
The new PowerPAK SC-75 devices offer a new miniaturized package option to
designers who are looking for ways to save space and reduce power
consumption in portable electronic systems that are continually increasing
in functionality. To meet consumer expectations for battery run times
between charges, designers require smaller MOSFET packages with low power
consumption, and this is just what the new PowerPAK SC-75 devices provide.
Typical applications for the p-channel PowerPAK SC-75 power MOSFETs will
include load switching in cell phones, PDAs, digital cameras, MP3 players,
and smart phones. The -30-V SiB415DK will also be used for load switching
and driving white LEDs in notebook computers and other portable devices.
Samples and production quantities of the new PowerPAK SC-75 power MOSFETs
are available now, with lead times of 10 to 12 weeks for larger orders.
