Rolling Meadows, IL— Panasonic, a leading global semiconductor research and manufacturing company and one of the world’s leading lithium ion battery manufacturers, has introduced two new metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOS FET) with outstanding performance characteristics.

• The MTMF8233 silicon N-channel MOS FET is ideal for power management applications in notebook computers and lithium ion battery protection circuits. It is comprised of a flat SO8-F1 package featuring low on-resistance between drain and source, and halogen -free packaging.
• The MTM78E2B is applicable for secondary lithium ion battery protection circuits. The compact package (2.1 x 2.0 x 0.7mm) is in an 8-pin flat configuration designated WSMini8-F1. It is ideal for battery packs in mobile devices and also features low on- resistance between drain and source, and halogen-free packaging.

“The integration of leading edge fine trench process manufacturing and Panasonic’s packaging technology has achieved industry-leading low-on resistance,” says Go Nakai, Product Marketing Manager, Panasonic Industrial Company. “This is one of an array of characteristics that distinguish this MOS FET series.”

Panasonic MOS FET performance features include:

• Industry leading low-on resistance between drain and source
• High reliability through high avalanche current tolerance
• Low power consumption
• Smaller package footprints
• Halogen free packaging
