Eindhoven, Netherlands and Hamburg, Germany, June 14, 2011 – NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) today announced a new family of small-signal MOSFETs delivering breakthrough low RDS(on) performance. The low RDS(on) P-Channel and N-Channel MOSFETs enable lower power consumption for consumer electronics applications such as notebooks, tablets, handsets, e-readers, set-top-boxes and LCD TVs. These high-efficiency MOSFETs are available in high-volume SOT23 and SOT457 packages with a compact 3-mm x 3-mm footprint, allowing design engineers to replace larger package types with significantly smaller solutions offering similar or better on-resistance.

Facts / Highlights:

• The PMV16UN, one of the new N-Channel MOSFETs from NXP, delivers an ultra-low RDS(on) value of (18 mOhm max @VGS = 4.5 V) in SOT23.
• NXP’s latest portfolio of small-signal MOSFETs offers a 20-percent increase in power efficiency compared to previous Trench MOSFET generation types.
• Parts are available immediately for US $1.20 in units of 1,000.
• A total of 70 types of small-signal MOSFETs will be released in 2011.

Supporting Quote:

• “Our new small-signal MOSFETs have set new benchmarks in low on-state resistance in SOT23, enabling higher efficiency in much smaller form factors in an increasingly competitive consumer electronics market,” said Jens Schnepel, product marketing manager, transistors, NXP Semiconductors.
