Royal Philips Electronics has announced a significant advancement for its innovative Low VCEsat (BISS) transistor family. Pushing performance boundaries, Philips claims it is the first semiconductor company to offer the market BISS transistors in the 1612-sized SOT666/SS-Mini package.
Capable of collector currents up to 2 A, the PBSS4240V and PBSS5240V offer best-in-class performance, delivering increased capabilities that require 41% less PCB space compared to other well-known 1 A devices in SOT23, says Philips. The new transistors in SOT666 occupy only 1,6 x 1,6 mm of PCB area. These devices can also offer extremely low collector-emitter resistance (RCEsat = 190 mΩ) and due to less heat generation, can improve the efficiency of entire circuits.
SOT666 BISS transistors target power management applications including DC-DC conversion, supply line switching and LCD back-lighting in portable electronic goods including mobile phones and laptops. The new BISS transistors can also drive LEDs, relays and buzzers and are a cost-effective alternative to MOSFETs in specific applications, according to the company.
