New Dual Pch MOSFETs from Toshiba Combine Two Transistors in One Package

IRVINE, Calif., July 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc., (TAEC)* has announced the addition of the SSM6P47NU and SSM6P49NU to its lineup of small signal MOSFETs. Ideal for charging circuits for mobile devices, these dual Pch MOSFETs feature the lowest on-resistance in the industry when compared to equivalent packages.

From mobile phones and game consoles to digital cameras, power consumption and physical size are key considerations in the design of mobile devices. Toshiba's SSM6P47NU and SSM6P49NU address these issues by combining two independent transistors into one package.

A 1.8V drive, combined with a 4A drain current and extremely low on-resistance allow the SSM6P47NU and SSM6P49NU to run at a high rate of efficiency, which enables batteries to be fully charged in less time. Available in a UDFN6 package (2.0 x 2.0mm), these dual MOSFETs are a suitable size for charging circuits and are capable of acting as a switch to control which loads are connected or disconnected from the circuit.

Features of the SSM6P47NU and SSM6P49NU include:
