Philips Presents New uTrenchMOS TSOP6 Devices

October 27, 2002 by Jeff Shepard

Royal Philips Electronics (Eindhoven, the Netherlands) announced a new line of n-channel, MOSFETs in the thin small outline package 6 (TSOP6), based on Philips' µTrenchMOS™ technology. With a footprint of 9.3mm², the µTrenchMOS TSOP6 devices enable the creation of smaller, lighter and more powerful portable products such as PDAs, notebook PCs, and domestic appliances such as electric shavers and toothbrushes.

The new µTrenchMOS’ TSOP6 devices feature low on-resistance and are rated at 30V, 20V and 12V Vds. The TSOP6 offers good thermal and electrical qualities providing decreased levels of power dissipation down to 1.4W in addition to cooler running temperatures. The µTrenchMOS products can be dropped into a range of applications as replacements for larger existing packages or in completely new designs.

Samples of the TSOP6 are available now. Pricing is $0.15 per unit in quantities of 10,000 pieces. Further µTrenchMOS product releases in TSSOP8, SC70 and SC88 packages will follow in fourth-quarter 2002.
