PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 9, 2015-- Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIOD), a leading global manufacturer and supplier of high-quality application specific standard products within the broad discrete, logic and analog semiconductor markets, today introduced the DMP1022UFDF and DMP2021UFDF. These small form-factor 2mm x 2mm DFN2020 packaged P-channel MOSFETs are rated at 12V and 20V, respectively. These devices are specifically designed for load switching in high-efficiency battery management of portable consumer electronics such as Tablets, Smartphones, Ultrabooks, and for applications in the Internet of Things.

Circuit designers looking for a simple and inexpensive method of disabling low-voltage power rails will appreciate the guaranteed low on-state resistance (R_DS(ON)) of these MOSFETs under low gate drive conditions. This enables power rails down to 1.5V to be switched with minimal conduction losses. The DMP1022UFDF has an R_DS(ON) of <20mΩ with a -2.5V gate drive, while the DMP2021UFDF achieves <26mΩ at -1.8V gate drive. Switching off power to idle processor cores and other inactive circuitry using MOSFETs as high-side load switches is a very effective way of extending battery life.

Equally important for space-critical applications is the small 4mm² footprint DFN2020 package, which has an off-board height of just 0.6mm. This package also features an exposed drain pad with a thermal resistance of <10°C/W from junction to pad to assist in extracting heat from the package, reducing die temperature and increasing device reliability.
