and battery packs
More power to play for
multi-cell battery packs
Increasing battery endurance is a critical factor for mobile and portable devices – how long a
battery can hold charge, how many charge cycles it can withstand and the recharge time are all
key product differentiators. Give your designs more power to play with by using our P-channel
TrenchMOS devices to deliver efficient power management and provide battery protection
that guarantees safety throughout your product’s lifetime.

Our new 30 V P-channel TrenchMOS PMK3xEP family of
enhanced gate technology MOSFETs provide lower RDSon, lower
gate charge and faster switching characteristics than comparable
MOSFETs for battery switch / adapter switch functions.
These MOSFETS handle peak currents within the battery
pack of 6 A to 10 A or even greater. Typically two P-channel
MOSFETs (Q1, Q2) are found in multi-cell battery packs.
Similar to cell phone battery pack operation, one MOSFET
enables charging while the other allows discharging. When
both MOSFETs are off, the cells are isolated from the external
environment providing safety or protecting the battery from
harsh conditions.
With a maximum gate-source rating of 25 V, the PMK35EP
is ideal for notebook battery charging circuits and disconnect
applications, where input voltages can reach as high as 22 V.
The higher VGS rating also helps reduce component count
by eliminating the need for a separate gate protection diode.
Housed in the standard SO8 small outline package,
samples and full production quantities (2.5 k per reel)
of both the PMK30EP and PMK35EP are available.
