ON Semiconductor Expands Standard Component Portfolio with 11 New Low Vce(sat) BJTs in SOT-23, SOT-563, WDFN and ChipFET Packaging.


New BJTs Deliver Improved Power Efficiency and Lower System Costs for Portable and Battery-Powered Applications

PHOENIX -- ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ONNN), a leading global supplier of efficient power management solutions, today announced the expansion of its industry-leading low Vce(sat) bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) portfolio to include WDFN6, WDFN3, SOT-23, SOT-563 and ChipFET packages. These new devices offered in multiple package options incorporate advanced silicon technology and provide better power efficiency and longer battery life than traditional BJTs or planar A technique developed by Fairchild Instruments that creates transistor sublayers by forcing chemicals under pressure into exposed areas. Planar superseded the mesa process and was a major step toward creating the chip.  MOSFETS. The devices are ideal for a variety of portable applications.

"ON Semiconductor continues to expand its portable products portfolio to provide design flexibility and enable optimal power conservation," said Mamoon Rashid, general manager of ON Semiconductor's Discrete Products Division. "Our best-in-class BJT See bipolar.  portfolio delivers the industry's lowest power loss and best thermal performance. We have now expanded this portfolio to more than 20 products to offer designers the widest selection of high-performance BJTs on the market today."

The new low Vce(sat) surface-mount devices are specifically designed for use in low voltage Low voltage is an electrical engineering term that broadly identifies safety considerations of an electricity supply system based on the voltage used. While different definitions exist for the exact voltage range covered by "low voltage", the most commonly used ones include "mains , high-speed switching applications where energy efficiency control is vital. They feature ultra-low saturation voltage -- 45 millivolts (mV) at 1 amp -- and high current gain. Offering a high electrostatic discharge (hardware, testing) Electrostatic Discharge - (ESD) One kind of test that hardware usually has to pass to prove it is suitable for sale and use. The hardware must still work after is has been subjected to some level of electrostatic discharge.  (ESD (1) (Electronic Software Distribution) Distributing new software and upgrades via the network rather than individual installations on each machine. See ESL. ) tolerance of >8,000 volts (V), they are self-protecting against unexpected surges and damage. By providing superior electrical performance and low temperature coefficient The temperature coefficient is the relative change of a physical property when the temperature is changed by 1 K.

In the following formula, let R be the physical property to be measured, let T be the temperature of at which the property is measured.
, they improve power efficiency and ultimately, battery power conservation.

The SOT-23 is one of the industry's most popular packages and offers the lowest cost. The SOT-563 is the smallest of the new package offerings at 1.6 mm x 1.6 mm x 1.0 mm. The two WDFN packages are 2.0 mm x 2.0 mm with a low 0.7 mm package height. This package is the most thermally efficient on the market today for portable applications. The ChipFET at 3.0 mm x 2.0 mm x 1.0 mm provides the best overall performance.

Ideal applications for these devices include power management, battery charging, low drop-out regulation, vibrator vibrator /vi·bra·tor/ (vi´bra-tor) an instrument for producing vibrations.
