12V Power MOSFET from Vishay claims Industry-Best Maximum On-Resistance
Vishay has expanded its family of Gen III TrenchFET power MOSFETs down to 12 V with the release of a new n-channel device offering the industry’s lowest on-resistance and on-resistance times gate charge for a device with this voltage rating. The 12-V SiR494DP features a maximum on-resistance of 1.2 mΩ at a 10-V gate drive and 1.7 mΩ at a 4.5-V gate drive. On-resistance times gate charge, a key figure of merit (FOM) for MOSFETs in dc-t...
Vishay - Low-Profile Rectifiers Feature ESD Protection to 25 kV in MicroSMP Package with 0.65-mm Height
Vishay has released a series of low-profile surface-mount rectifiers with ESD protection to 25 kV. The new MSE1Px devices are offered in an eSMP series MicroSMP package with footprint dimensions of just 2.5 mm by 1.3 mm with a height profile of 0.65 mm. In addition to their ESD capabilities, the new devices feature a rugged maximum junction temperature of 175 °C and an MSL moisture sensitivity level of 1.
