Vishay Releases New 20V P-Channel TrenchFET Power MOSFET In MICRO FOOT Chipscale Package

April 10, 2008 by Jeff Shepard

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. released a new 20V p-channel TrenchFET power MOSFET in a MICRO FOOT chipscale package that features what is described as the industry’s smallest footprint and on-resistance ratings down to 1.2V.

With a 1.2 x 1.0mm footprint, the Si8445DB is said to be 20% smaller than the industry’s next-smallest device, while offering the same 0.59mm profile. The Si8445DB offers a low on-resistance range from 0.495Ω at 1.2V VGS to 0.084 at 4.5V VGS. The low on-resistance rating at 1.2V is said to reduce the need for level shift circuitry, thus saving space and power in portable electronics designs.

Typical applications for the new device will include low-threshold load switching, charger switching, and battery management in portable devices such as cell phones, PDAs, digital cameras, MP3 players, and smart phones.

Samples and production quantities of the new MICRO FOOT chipscale power MOSFET are available now, with lead times of 10 to 12 weeks for larger orders. Pricing for U.S. delivery in 100,000-piece quantities is $0.15.
