Vishay Releases New Power MOSFETs In 2 x 2mm PowerPAK SC-70 Package

May 28, 2008 by Jeff Shepard

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. announced the release of 15 new power MOSFETS in a PowerPAK SC-70 package measuring 2 x 2mm with a low 0.8mm profile.

The new offering includes a variety of configurations and voltage ratings for different applications, including single, single plus Schottky, and dual devices, in both n-channel and p-channel, in addition to n- and p-channel complementary pairs. The devices feature voltage ranges between 8 and 30V with extremely low on-resistance values down to 0.011Ω at 4.5V.

The PowerPAK SC-70 combines the tiny footprint of the SC-70 package with on-resistance comparable to the larger TSOP-6. The result is said to be a solution with very low power consumption in a package that is 50% smaller than the TSOP-6 and 27% thinner. In addition to helping the environment by saving energy, the PowerPAK SC-70 is 100% lead (Pb)-free, halogen-free, and RoHS-compliant, meeting the demands of international legislation for elimination of hazardous substances.

Typical applications for Vishay Siliconix PowerPAK SC-70 MOSFETs will include load switching and battery charging in portable devices such as cell phones, PDAs, digital cameras, and MP3 players, as well as notebook computers, portable HDDs, and miniature motor drives.

The devices include the SiA413DJ, which is said to be the industry’s first 12V single p-channel device in this package size. The SiA913DJ and SiA912DJ are said to be the first 12V dual p- and n-channel MOSFETs, respectively, while the SiA511DJ is said to be the first 12V n-channel and p-channel complementary pair.

Several of the devices are claimed to set new records for on-resistance in the SC-70 footprint. With a rating of 0.056Ω at 4.5V, the new SiA421DJ is said to have the lowest on-resistance in the 30V single p-channel category. At 0.053Ω, the SiA914DJ is said to offer the industry’s lowest on-resistance for a 20V dual p-channel MOSFET.

The SiA413DJ and SIA411DJ MOSFETs feature on-resistance ratings down to 1.5V VGS, enabling low power consumption and saving board space by reducing the need for level shift circuitry. Previously released devices in the PowerPAK SC-70 include the SiA414DJ, SiA417DJ, and SiA419DJ with on-resistance ratings down to VGS = 1.2V. The 0.011Ω SiA414DJ and 0.023Ω SiA417DJ are additionally the first devices in this package type with an 8-V breakdown voltage rating.

Samples and production quantities of the 15 new power MOSFETS are available now, with lead times of 10 to 12 weeks for larger orders. Pricing for U.S. delivery is $0.15 each in 100,000-piece quantities.
