Press Release Summary:
MPPS(TM) Bipolar Transistors come in micro leaded packages. Size 3 x 2 mm package accommodates dual die and occupies same PCB area as single die SOT23 package, while 2 x 2 mm size supports single die and takes same space as SOT23 package. Off-board height of both packages is 0.9 mm, making them suitable for add-in card design and flat screen applications.
Original Press Release:
Miniature Packaged Bipolar Transistors Deliver More Power from a Smaller Space
Hauppauge, NY... Added to the Zetex range of Miniature Package Power Solutions(TM) (MPPS(TM)) is a complete series of Bipolar transistors which give designers the opportunity to significantly increase current handling capability for a given footprint area.
Provided in Zetex micro leaded packages (MLP), the Bipolar MPPS(TM) products offer a real power dissipation three times greater than that of alternative surface mount packaged devices.
The 3mm x 2mm MLP accommodates a dual die and occupies the same PCB area as a single die SOT23 package, while the 2mm x 2mm MLP supports a single die and takes the same space as the SOT323 package.
Providing improvements in both the on-state voltage, VCE(SAT) and current gain, hFE - 18 high efficiency MPPS(TM) Bipolar transistors have been released in the two initial MLP formats. For single transistor options there are four NPN and four PNP devices. For dual transistor options there are three NPN and three PNP transistor pairs along with four mixed polarity combinations.
Of significance to add-in card design and flat screen applications, the 0.9mm off-board height of both MLP packages is considerably less than that of the SCS9 package (1.3mm) and the SOT23 (1.1mm). Replacing much larger SOT89 and SOT223 packages also results in a savings of weight.
The 25,000 price is $0.25 each. Delivery is quoted at 4-6 weeks in production volumes.
