Fairchild Debuts FDJ129P P-Channel MOSFET

Fairchild Semiconductor International (South Portland, ME) announced the new FDJ129P, a p-channel MOSFET that is suitable in power management applications such as cell phones, PDAs, portable music players, GPS receivers, low-voltage/low-power dc/dc converters, and digital cameras. The FDJ129P features Fairchild’s high-performance PowerTrench® technology in a compact SC75 flip leaded molded package (FLMP), resulting in a 60% board space reduction compared to similar MOSFET solutions offered in SSOT-6 or TSOP-6 packages.

The FDJ129P’s power dissipation is 1.8W and has a maximum steady-state current of 4.2A – a maximum steady-state current rating 12 times greater than competitive SC75-packaged technology. The FDJ129P offers similar performance to a typical TSOP-6 based product, such as the FDC640P, but consumes 60% less board area and has a 34% lower profile than the TSOP-6 package. In addition, the FDJ129P reduces system power drain by providing low-loss switching, with a maximum steady-state current of 4.2A and a maximum pulsed current of 16A.

Available now, the FDJ129P is priced at $0.33 for 1,000-piece quantities. Delivery is eight weeks ARO.
