N Channel MOSFETs meet needs of mobile devices.August 3, 2011 -
Models SSM3K37MFV, SSM3K37FS, SSM3K37CT, SSM6N37FU, SSM6N37FE, and SSM6N37CTD address power consumption issues and physical size restrictions of mobile devices. Able to be driven at voltages as low as 1.5 V, these transistors can act as switch to control which loads are connected or disconnected from circuit. Products have 250 mA drain current and are suitable for high-speed switching applications. They come in various package sizes, with smallest being CST3 at 0.6 x 1.0 mm.

Toshiba Introduces Series of Nch Standard MOSFETs for Mobile Devices
Ultra Small Diversified Packages, Low On-Resistance MOSFETs Operate at Low Voltage and Maintain 250mA Drain Current
IRVINE, Calif. -- Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc., (TAEC)* has announced the addition of the SSM3K37 series of Nch Standard MOSFETs for mobile devices. Consisting of the SSM3K37MFV, SSM3K37FS, SSM3K37CT, SSM6N37FU, SSM6N37FE, and SSM6N37CTD, this new generation of SSM3K16 series for standard switches is designed for mobile devices addressing power consumption issues and physical size restrictions that are important in the design of mobile devices.
The SSM3K37 series of MOSFETs is available in very small packages and offers a very low RDSon. Small package size allows for more compact circuit designs and therefore mobile devices that are smaller in size. Combined with a 250mA drain current, low on-resistance enables the MOSFET to run more efficiently, allowing batteries to last for longer periods of time.
Additionally, Toshiba's SSM3K37 series of MOSFETs are able to be driven at voltages as low as 1.5V - a voltage that batteries in most mobile devices can provide. The devices are also able to be operated at high frequencies, and are suitable for high speed switching applications.
According to Talayeh Saderi, business development engineer for TAEC, "These transistors are capable of acting as a switch to control which loads are connected or disconnected from the circuit. Like flipping a light switch, one can apply a voltage to the transistor to electrically connect (or disconnect) parts of a circuit."
A large range of package sizes including SSM, VESM, CST3, US6, ES6, CST6D (with the smallest being the CST3 at 0.6 x 1.0mm), enable these devices to be adapted to a variety of different size requirements.
Features of the SSM3K37 series include:
-- VDSS = 20V
-- VGSS = +/-10V
-- ID = 250mA
-- RDS(max)@(VGS=1.5V) = 5.60 omega
-- RDS(max)@(VGS=1.8V) = 4.05 omega
-- RDS(max)@(VGS=2.5V) = 3.02 omega
-- tON(typ) = 18 ns
-- tOFF(typ) = 36 ns
-- CISS(typ) = 12 pF
Availability
The Toshiba SSM3K37 series of Nch Standard MOSFETs is available now.
