the MMFD4207, a p-channel MOSFET

November 14, 1999 by Jeff Shepard

On Semiconductor LLC (Phoenix, AZ) recently launched the MMFD4207, a p-channel MOSFET. The device is a dual MOSFET in an SO-8 package and is designed to increase efficiency and reduce battery drain, thereby increasing battery life or telephone talk time in portable products. The MOSFET is designed to bring p-channel Rds(on) performance closer to n-channel performance. According to the company, the device is specifically designed for use in low voltage applications where power efficiency is critical. The MOSFET offers the advantage of high-side switching while avoiding the problem of opening the return path. The device is capable of withstanding high energy in the avalanche and commutation modes. It is also designed to reduce pcb area making for compact design. The introduction of the MMFD4207 power MOSFET expands On Semiconductor's portfolio of superior, market driven, power MOSFETs, said John Trice, marketing manager for the MOS Power Products division at ON Semiconductor. With the availability of this MOSFET, we have strengthened our position as a major provider to telecommunications and portable electronics manufacturers. We continue to work on new and innovative power products to meet tomorrow's demands for efficient power management. In 2,500 tape and reel quantities, pricing for the MMFD4207 MOSFET starts at $1.34 each. Sample and production quantities are currently available.
