Photo Release -- Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Shrinks Board Space With Chip Scale Packaging Technology

May 29, 2012

SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 29, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited (AOS) (Nasdaq:AOSL), a designer, developer and global supplier of a broad range of power semiconductors, today introduced the AOC2411, a high performance 30V p-channel Power MOSFET offered in a compact 1.6mm x 1.6mm chip scale package. The AOC2411 features a low on-resistance of 45mOhms and is ideally suited for battery powered applications that push the limits of size and performance such as the latest smart phones, tablet PCs, eBook readers, UltraBooks, and other mobile Internet devices.

The AOC2411 reduces the amount of utilized board space by 70% while reducing the package height by 50% when compared to an industry standard TSOP6 package of similar electrical performance. This form factor reduction provides designers of power management circuitry with an ideal and cost-effective solution for minimizing board space in ultra-portable applications.

"AOS is committed to deliver high performance and value added solutions to its customers. By offering products like AOC2411 that minimize board space while improving performance — which is crucial for new innovative designs in ultra-portable applications, we are confirming that commitment," said Peter Wilson, Director of Low Voltage MOSFETs at AOS.
