International Rectifier Releases the IRF5810 Dual MOSFET

International Rectifier Corp. (IR, El Segundo, CA) has released the IRF5810 dual MOSFET in a TSOP-6 package. The IRF5810 combines two p-channel HEXFET power MOSFETs into a single 1.3mm x 2.9mm footprint, allowing designers to replace two single TSOP-6 load switches with one IRF5810. Typical applications include load- and battery-management circuits in cellular phones, PDAs, MP3 players, notebook computers and PCMCIA cards.

IR reports that the IRF5810 has 40 percent lower Rds(on) than competing dual MOSFETs in the TSOP-6 package. Each MOSFET within the package performs at 90mW Rds(on) each. The IRF5810 features an extended lead-frame.

Shawn O’Grady, technical marketing manager for portable products at IR commented, "The IRF5810 is ideal in portable electronics applications when printed circuit board space is limited and maximum functionality is required. It is tailored for the smallest applications, while satisfying performance requirements. We believe the IRF5810 is the industry’s best-performing dual MOSFET in the TSOP-6 package for portable applications on the market."

The IRF5810 is currently available priced at $0.35 each in 10,000-unit quantities.
