Bidirectional Battery Switch comes in space-saving WCSP.
Press Release Summary:
Use for low-voltage battery isolation in portable electronics, healthcare devices, and instrumentation, Vishay Siliconix SiP32101 comes in 1.3 x 1.7 x 0.55 mm, 12-bump WCSP and incorporates slew rate control. Active-low enable pin can interface with low-voltage GPIOs directly, and integrated pull-down resistor on EN pin prevents spurious turn-on in low-power states where GPIO may be left floating. On-resistance is 6.5 mΩ at 3.3 V, input range is 2.3–5.5 V, and soft turn-on time is 2 msec.
Original Press Release:
Vishay Intertechnology Bi-Directional Battery Switch in WCSP Package Saves 91% PCB Space Over Discrete MOSFETs
Occupying Only 2.3 mm², Device Features Industry-Low On-resistance of 6.5 mΩ at 3.3 V and Quiescent Current of 0.015 nA
MALVERN, Pa. — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced a new 6.5 mΩ bidirectional battery switch with slew rate control for low-voltage battery isolation in portable electronics, healthcare devices, and instrumentation. Designed to save 91 % PCB space compared to using discrete MOSFETs in these space-constrained applications, the Vishay Siliconix SiP32101 combines industry-low on-resistance and ultra-low quiescent current in a compact 12-bump WCSP package.
In smartphones, tablets, digital cameras, portable healthcare meters, data storage systems, and more, PCB space is at a premium. In these products, discrete MOSFET solutions for battery isolation utilize three components and typically occupy 26 mm². The SiP32101 has a footprint of only 2.3 mm², saving valuable space and lowering the overall component count to simplify designs. In addition, the device has an active-low enable pin that can interface with low-voltage GPIOs directly, eliminating the need for extra level shifting circuitry or higher-voltage gate drivers. An integrated pull-down resistor on the EN pin prevents spurious turn-on in low-power states where the GPIO may be left floating.
The SiP32101's low 6.5 mΩ on-resistance at 3.3 V reduces power losses and increases efficiency. Combined with a wide 2.3 V to 5.5 V input voltage range and a soft turn-on time of 2 ms to minimize inrush current, it is the ideal device for high-capacity battery applications and high-current load switching. The load switch consumes very low currents in both on and off states. It uses a mere 0.015 nA quiescent current and 0.01 nA shutdown current, ensuring that the battery won't drain quickly if the device is left idle for a long period of time.
Operating over a temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C, the battery load switch released today is RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and available in a 1.3 mm by 1.7 mm by 0.55 mm WCSP package.
Samples and production quantities of the SiP32101 are available now, with lead times of 10 weeks for large orders. Pricing for U.S. delivery only starts at $0.93 per piece in 1,000-piece quantities.
