Toshiba Introduces MOSFETs for Smartphone, Tablet Load Switching

Toshiba launched N-channel MOSFETs for load switches in smartphones and tablets, said a Monday news release. The devices use Toshiba’s U-MOS IX-H series trench process that’s said to reduce heat dissipation resulting from turn-on loss by 40 percent vs. the company’s previous products. The MOSFETs (metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors) are targeted for use in electric power switching applications of more than 10 watts, including small-size mobile devices that meet the USB Type-C and USB Power Delivery standards, it said.
