Expanded MOSFET line-up for battery protection circuits of mobile devices

Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation has released four new MXT LV MOSFETs, using Super-Short Channel technology, to expand further its seventh-generation MXT LV MOSFET line-up for battery protection circuits of mobile devices.

Super-Short Channel is the company's latest design technology to reduce Ron (the resistance of MOSFETs during on-state operation) by shortening the channel length between the source and the drain. The Ron of these new MOSFETs has been decreased by 24-40% compared to earlier generations, and as a result, the battery performance is enhanced with low power losses when a battery is charging or discharging.

Also, the company provides customised design services for these products based on the application specifications and battery capacities, so the sizes of the MOSFETs can be lowered by 5% to 20%, respectively.

With these technical capabilities, flexible design and compact size options, the extended line-up fulfils the technical needs of a wide range of mobile devices, from premium foldable phones to wireless earphones.

"Magnachip has released five new MXT LV MOSFETs for battery protection circuits so far this year," said YJ Kim, CEO of Magnachip. "We will continue to create premium MOSFETs that offer great power efficiency and outstanding performance for mobile devices to solidify our presence in the market."
