Alpha and Omega Semiconductor's UltraSO-8(TM) MOSFETs Power Latest Generation CPUs.SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Alpha and Omega alpha and omega n. 1. The first and the last: "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord" Revelation 1:8. 2. The most important part. Semiconductor, Inc. (AOS (Alternative Operator Services) Operator services provided by a third-party organization. See operator services. 1. AOS - /aws/ (East Coast), /ay-os/ (West Coast) A PDP-10 instruction that took any memory location and added 1 to it. ), a leading developer of advanced power semiconductor solutions, announced today that it has released a family of high performance UltraSO-8(TM) power MOSFETs. The UltraSO-8(TM) power MOSFET series is aimed at applications such as notebook and desktop PCs, servers, graphics cards, gaming consoles, Li Ion battery packs, and point of load dc/dc power supplies. The footprint of the UltraSO-8(TM) is compatible with the industry standard SO-8 package, making it convenient for designers to use. It offers the added benefit of a 20% improvement in thermal performance, thus offering the system designer an alternative to the bulkier DPAK DPAK Discrete Packaging package for applications that exceed the power dissipation of the traditional SO-8 package. An additional benefit of UltraSO-8(TM) is that its package inductance inductance, quantity that measures the electromagnetic induction of an electric circuit component; it is a property of the component itself rather than of the circuit as a whole. is three times lower than that of the DPAK, allowing the device to switch more efficiently at higher frequencies in dc/dc applications; this helps to reduce the size of other external components and the total size and cost of the power supply. With the UltraSO-8(TM), AOS combined the thermal and cost benefits of the DPAK with the small size and high switching performance of the SO-8 package. This improved thermal and switching performance allows the UltraSO-8(TM) family to power the latest generation of high power CPUs in the smallest printed circuit board area.
