Vishay Siliconix power MOSFETs combine optimized
performance specifications with miniaturized packaging to
meet the demands of dc-to-dc conversion circuitry in desktop
and notebook computers, PDAs, servers, routers, networks,
and automobiles. For example, as CPU speeds and power
demands rise, our combination of advanced TrenchFET

The result is high efficiency solutions, one such example is
illustrated in the Synchronous Buck DC-to-DC Converter
Efficiency Diagram shown to the right. These and other
power conversion applications benefit from the improvements
realized from combining our breakthrough technologies with
our DC-to-DC focus and experience.
Breakthroughs in thermal management for increasing power
density are achieved with packaging such as the PowerPAK
(Si7000 Series), the thermally enhanced D
(Si5000 Series). The PowerPAK SO-8 offers
the thermal resistance of a DPAK in an SO-8 footprint. The
PowerPAK 1212-8 is about half the size of a TSSOP-8 while
decreasing the thermal resistance by an order of magnitude.
The SUM Series reduces thermal resistance by 33% over
PAK packaging. ChipFET is 40% smaller than a
TSOP-6 package while offering lower on-resistance and lower
thermal resistance. Lower thermal resistance results in higher
possible maximum current and power dissipation.
Packaging ranges from the D
PAK (SUM or SUB Series), DPAK
(SUD Series) and PowerPAK (Si7000 Series) to the LITTLE
FOOT packages, which range from SO-8 (Si4000 Series)
down to the tiniest MOSFET available—in SC-89 (Si1000

To save on valuable board space, LITTLE FOOT
integrates a Schottky diode, additional MOSFET and/or logic
into the same package as the Vishay Siliconix power MOSFET.
See pages 12, 14, 15 and 23 for more information
Besides saving on board space, Application-specific MOSFETs
(ASMs) also save on critical board space while providing
higher frequency performance by integrating functions such
as drivers in the same package as the power MOSFET.
