Power switch protects
Li-ion battery packs
The FDC6000NZ is a dual N-channel MOSFET device that combines Fairchild's PowerTrench MOSFET silicon technology with a SuperSOT-6 FLMP (flipchip in a leaded moulded package)
The FDC6000NZ is a dual N-channel mosfet device that combines Fairchild's PowerTrench mosfet silicon technology with a SuperSOT-6 FLMP (flipchip in a leaded moulded package). The result is an advanced mosfet power switch in a low-profile (0.8mm maximum height), small footprint (9.0mm2) package that provides the electrical and thermal performance critical to lithium-ion battery pack protection.

The FDC6000NZ achieves power dissipation of 1.6W and a maximum steady-state current of 7.3A - a capability that is equivalent to or better than standard TSSOP-8 devices currently on the market, while providing a 55% footprint area reduction and a 27% profile reduction over the TSSOP-8.
The FDC6000NZ limits switching losses and provides a low-voltage-drop solution for new charger/battery pack system design requirements, and providing safe, high current handling capabilities that are vital for the next-generation of portable battery-powered products.
This high-performance solution is ideal for a wide variety of mobile communications products, including mobile handsets, PDAs, portable music players, digital cameras, palm top computers, and GPS receivers.

"Mobile communications applications continue to integrate features and improve functionality while decreasing end product size and weight", said Chris Winkler, Fairchild's Market Development Manager for Portable Products Applications.
"These new features and functions are driving an increase in power requirements, thereby increasing the growth of Li-ion battery packs into these end products".
Winkler added: "The market has been clamouring for a product which meets the decreasing area and profile requirements, while meeting the performance expectations of long battery pack life, low parasitic discharge, and fast recharge capability.
The FDC6000NZ meets these criteria with an area savings of over 50%".
This lead-free (Pb-free) product meets or exceeds the requirements of the joint IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020B and is compliant with the European Union requirements, which will take effect in 2005.
UL and VDE safety approvals are pending.
