Renesas’ GreenFET family of high-performance load switches are designed and optimized for all high-side power rail control applications from
0.25 V to 5.5 V where the load currents range from 1 A to 9 A. Using Renesas’ proprietary MOSFET design, all GreenFET load switches achieve ultra-stable RDS
ON
across wide input and supply voltage ranges. Combining Renesas’ proprietary MOSFET IP and advanced assembly techniques, these advanced state-of-the-art
products are available in ultra-small pcb footprints from 0.56 mm
2
to 4 mm
2
and exhibit low thermal resistances for high-current operation.
Compared to discrete GreenFET circuit implementations, Renesas’ GreenFET products combine high-performance nFET or pFET structures, high-current handling
capability, charge pumps, as well as multiple protection and control circuits into space-efficient single-and dual-channel products. The combination of all these
advanced features directly results in BOM (bill-of-material) component and cost reductions as well as increasing system reliability and reduced board size.
All of Renesas’ GreenFET low-voltage load switches are designed and fully characterized over the commercial (0 °C to 70 °C), extended commercial (-20 °C to
70 °C), industrial (-40 °C to 85 °C), or extended industrial (-40 °C to 125 °C) temperature range. Consistent with generating very low thermal gradients, Renesas
load switches are available in low thermal resistance, STDFN/STQFN RoHS-compliant packaging or wafer-level chip scale packaging (WLCSP).
