Low-on-resistance N-channel MOSFETs boost system efficiency and offer new levels of ESD prptection.

Fairchild Semiconductor has a new series of high-efficiency N-channel MOSFETs that boast up to 8kV ESD (HBM) voltage protection - 90% higher than existing devices on the market The FDS881XNZ series support the latest architectures for battery pack protection applications such as notebook and cellphones

Using Fairchild's Power Trench process, these low-on-resistance MOSFETs, including the FDS8812NZ with less than 5mohm on-resistance, reduce conduction losses and extend valuable battery life.

They also provide rugged and robust avalanche and high peak current capability to ensure system safety by surviving unexpected voltage spikes that may afflict battery packs.

The FDS881XNZ series offer design engineers a variety of options that they can select depending on their battery application's power management and load switching requirements.

The FDS8812NZ (4mohm on-resistance) targets high-end laptops by addressing the thermal challenges resulting from incorporating high levels of functionality into notebook computers.

The FDS8813NZ (4.5mohm on-resistance) is best suited for all-in-one laptops featuring displays over 15in, and the FDS8817NZ (7mohm on-resistance) is ideal for general use in low- to mid-tier models, as well as subnotebook PCs.

The FDS881XNZ series of N-channel MOSFETs are available in industry-standard SO8 packages and are a valuable addition to Fairchild's comprehensive battery MOSFET portfolio.

All devices have lead-free (Pb-free) terminals and have been characterised for moisture sensitivity in accordance with the Pb-free reflow requirements of the joint IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020.

All Fairchild products are designed to meet the requirements of the European Union RoHS Directive.
