SOP-8 packaged P-channel power MOSFETs with low on-res

Renesas Electronics has made available five P-channel power MOSFETs for use in charge control switches for lithium-ion (Li-ion) secondary batteries of notebook PCs and power management switches for power supply switching with AC adapters.

The five new products, including the µPA2812T1L, deliver low on-resistance in compact packages.
Key features of the new P-channel power MOSFETs:
The new MOSFETs achieve low on-resistance approximately half that of previous Renesas products. The µPA2812T1L has a compact 3.3 mm square package and achieves an on-resistance of 4.2 milli ohms(typ.).

The new µPA2812T1L in a SOP-8 package makes it possible to reduce the mounting area by around two thirds.
The compact 3.3 mm square package is designed to allow heat from inside the package to be dispersed to the mounting board via the exposed lead frame. Since the amount of heat around the device is less than with packages such as the SOP-8 with less efficient heat dispersion, it is possible to design Li-ion battery packs, etc., that are thinner and more compact.

Pricing and Availability: Samples of Renesas Electronics' new MOSFETs are available now, priced at US$0.6 per unit. Mass production is scheduled to begin in April 2012 and is expected to reach a combined volume of 5,000,000 units per month by April 2013. (Pricing and availability are subject to change without notice.
