Vishay Releases 8 to 30V P-Channel SC-75 Package Power MOSFETs
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has released a family of p-channel power MOSFETs in the PowerPAK® SC-75, including several devices rated from 8 to 30V that are said to be industry firsts for their voltage ratings in this package type. Among the devices being released are what are described as the industry’s first -12V (SiB419DK) and -30V (SiB415DK) single p-channel power MOSFETs in the PowerPAK SC-75 package.
The previously announced SiB417DK is the first such -8V device and is joined by an ESD-protected version with the same -8V rating, the SiB417EDK. Both of these 8V devices include on-resistance specifications down to VGS = 1.2 V, which the company claims potentially allow designers to reduce space requirements, power consumption, and solution cost by eliminating the need for level-shift circuitry. The new products also include two -20V devices, the single SiB411DK and dual SiB911DK. On-resistance for the single devices at a 4.5V gate drive ranges from 0.052 to 0.066Ω.
The Vishay Siliconix PowerPAK SC-75 power MOSFETs measure 1.6 by 1.6 by 0.75mm – 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.
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 -30V 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. Pricing for U.S. delivery in 100,000-piece quantities ranges from $0.10 to $0.15 per piece.
