MALVERN, PENNSYLVANIA— Feb. 10, 2011— Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced a new dual 20 V p-channel TrenchFET® Gen III power MOSFET with an 8 V gate-to-source voltage featuring the lowest on-resistance ever achieved for a dual p-channel device in the thermally enhanced PowerPAK® SC-70 2 mm by 2 mm footprint area.
The newSiA923EDJwill be used for dc-to-dc converters, as well as for charger and load switches in handheld devices such as smart phones, MP3 players, tablet PCs, and eBooks. The MOSFET’s lower on-resistance translates into lower conduction losses, saving power and prolonging battery life between charges in these devices.
TheSiA923EDJoffers an ultra-low on-resistance of 54 mΩ at 4.5 V, 70 mΩ at 2.5 V, 104 mΩ at 1.8 V, and 165 mΩ at 1.5 V. The closest competing p-channel device with an 8 V gate-to-source rating features on-resistance of 60 mΩ at 4.5 V, 80 mΩ at 2.5 V, 110 mΩ at 1.8 V, and 170 mΩ at 1.5 V. These values are 10 %, 12 %, 5 %, and 3 % higher, respectively, than theSiA923EDJ.
The MOSFET’s on-resistance ratings down to 1.5 V allow the device to work with the lower-voltage gate drives and lower bus voltages common in handheld devices, without the space and cost of level-shifting circuitry. TheSiA923EDJ’s low on-resistance also means a lower voltage drop at peak currents to better prevent unwanted undervoltage lockout events. The compact 2 mm by 2 mm PowerPAK SC-70 package is half the size of the TSOP-6, with comparable or better on-resistance and the ability to dissipate 65 % more power under the same ambient conditions.
100 % Rg tested, theSiA923EDJis halogen-free in accordance with IEC 61249-2-21 and compliant to RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC. The MOSFET offers typical ESD protection of 2500 V.
TheSiA923EDJcomplements the previously released 20 VSiA921EDJp-channel MOSFET with a 12 V gate-to-source maximum voltage rating. With the release of theSiA923EDJ, designers can now choose between the higher gate drive voltage of theSiA921EDJor a device with a lower threshold voltage and lower on-resistance.
Samples and production quantities of the newSiA923EDJTrenchFET power MOSFET are available now, with lead times of 14 to 16 weeks for larger orders.
