Vishay Siliconix Extends P-Channel TrenchFET Gen III Technology to Single 12 V and 30 V MOSFETs
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. extended its TrenchFET® Gen III family of p-channel power MOSFETs with a new single 12 V device in the thermally enhanced 2 mm by 2 mm PowerPAK® SC-70 package and a single 30 V device in the 3 mm by 1.8 mm PowerPAK ChipFET package with a thin 0.8 mm profile. Both MOSFETs combine their compact footprints with the industry's lowest on-resistance at 4.5 V for their respective form factors.
Offered in the ultra-small PowerPAK SC-70 package, the 12 V SiA447DJ features an on-resistance of 13.5 mO at 4.5 V, which is 12 % lower than the closest competing device. In addition, the SiA447DJ offers low on-resistance of 19.4 mO at 2.5 V, 35 mO at 1.8 V, and 71 mO at 1.5 V. The 30 V Si5429DU is the first Gen III p-channel MOSFET in the 3 mm by 1.8 mm form factor, and its on-resistance of 22 mO at 4.5 V is 35 % lower than the closest competing device. In addition, the MOSFET offers an industry-low on-resistance of 15 mO at 10 V.
The SiA447DJ and Si5429DU will be used for battery or load switching in power management applications for portable electronics such as smartphones, tablet PCs, and mobile computing devices. The MOSFETs' compact packages save PCB space in these products while their low on-resistance translates into lower conduction losses for reduced power consumption and longer battery life between charges. The MOSFETs' low on-resistance also means a lower voltage drop across the load switch to prevent unwanted undervoltage lockout.

The 30 V rating of the Si5429DU makes it the device of choice for end products with multi-cell Li-ion batteries, while the SiA447DJ will be used when size and lower on-resistance are critical. In addition, the SiA447DJ'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, saving the space and cost of level-shifting circuitry.
The SiA447DJ and Si5429DU are 100 % Rg-tested, and also RoHS-compliant and halogen-free.
Samples and production quantities of the new SiA447DJ and Si5429DU TrenchFET power MOSFETs are available now, with lead times of 12 to 14 weeks for larger orders.

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules
Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure
Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
