Novel package advances MOSFET power
density
A new power MOSFET package from Toshiba has the same board mounting footprint and terminal configuration as a conventional SOP-8 device yet can handle almost three times as much current.

Microcontroller meets needs of modern appliances
Toshiba Electronics Europe has launched a flash microcontroller specifically designed to meet the needs of modern home appliance applications including washing machines, dryers, and dishwashers.
Designed for high-efficiency applications such as DC/DC convertors, power supplies, and power management systems, SOP Advance mosfets incorporate an additional aluminium strap that helps to reduce on-resistance ratings at 4.5V down to 4.8mohm.
The strap also contributes to a typical thermal resistance of just 30.7C/W, compared with 38.9C/W for conventional SOP-8 solutions.
These factors allow the new package styles to handle currents up to 40A rather than the maximum 15A offered by previous SOP-8 devices.
The first Toshiba power mosfet products to be supplied in the new SOP Advance packaging will be a 30V/35A high-speed N-channel device, a 30V/40A N-channel device, and two -30V/40A P-channel parts.
With board mounting dimensions of 6.0 x 5.0mm, the SOP Advance package has the same footprint as its SOP-8 predecessor, while a board mounting profile of just 1.0mm is 0.6mm lower than the typical height of an SOP-8.
