Vishay Siliconix
LITTLE FOOTR TSSOP-8 The Next Step in Surface-Mount Power MOSFETs
Wharton McDaniel and David Oldham
When Vishay Siliconix introduced its LITTLE FOOT MOSFETs, it was the first time that power MOSFETs had been offered in a true surface-mount package, the SOIC. LITTLE FOOT immediately found a home in new small form factor disk drives, computers, and cellular phones.
This is the low profile demanded by applications such as PCMCIA cards. It reduces the power package to the same height as many resistors and capacitors in 0805 and 0605 sizes. It also allows placement on the “passive” side of the PC board. The standard pinouts of the LITTLE FOOT TSSOP-8 packages have been changed from the standard established by LITTLE FOOT.
