Mouser Electronics Now Stocking Vishay Siliconix’s TrenchFET® Gen III Power MOSFETs

PR Log (Press Release) – Jun 10, 2009 – Mansfield, Texas, USA – Mouser Electronics, Inc., known for its rapid introduction of the newest products, today announced it is stocking Vishay Siliconix’s TrenchFET Gen III Power MOSFETs. Vishay Siliconix transistors and ICs improve the efficiency of power management circuitry in end products while reducing space requirements.
       
The Vishay Siliconix TrenchFet® Gen III Power MOSFET family offers the industry’s lowest on-resistance in the PowerPak® SO-8 package type, the SO-8 package, and the PowerPak® 1212-8 package. The Vishay Siliconix TrenchFet Gen III Power MOSFET improves greatly on the performance of competing devices optimized for low conduction losses and low switching losses, due to their reduced on-resistance. These Vishay Siliconix devices can be used as the low-side MOSFET in synchronous buck converters and in secondary synchronous rectification and OR-ing applications.
