ON Semiconductor Receives 'Product of the Year' Award for Best Simplified Approach to Portable Charging from EN-Genius Network

ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ONNN), a global leader in efficient power management solutions, today announced that it has been honored by EN-Genius Network with a "Product of the Year” award for Best Simplified Approach to Portable Charging for its NUS3116 charging and power switching solution. The NUS3116 is a main switch power MOSFET and dual charging BJT that combines a main battery switch, wall charging switch, and USB charging switch elements into a single component, to optimize charging performance and save valuable space on circuit boards in handheld electronic devices. "We selected the NUS3116 from among the hundreds of products reviewed in 2007 by EN-Genius,” said Paul McGoldrick, EN-Genius Network publisher and editor in chief. "ON Semiconductor’s NUS3116 provides a simple and cost-effective solution for portable charging applications.” About the device The NUS3116 is an integration of main power switch, -12 volt (V), -6.2 amps (A), µCool™ single P-channel MOSFET to handle the main battery switch function and two internal low saturation PNP transistors to handle dual channel charging elements. With 40 mili ohm maximum RDS(ON), the main switch MOSFET minimizes power loss during battery operation of portable electronics. The dual low-Vce(sat) transistors provide good thermal performance for charge currents up to 2 A, and have a Vce voltage drop of less than 240 mili volts (mV) at the end of the charging. Offered in a DFN-8 package that requires only 9 mm2 of board space, the NUS3116 provides a board savings of more then 20 mm2 compared to industry solutions that typically utilize three TSOP-6 packages with interconnect space. The DFN-8 package has a low profile of 0.8 mm that allows the device to be used in small form factor designs. Implementation of the NUS3116 integrated device also reduces the complexity of circuit board layout. The NUS3116 is priced at $0.80 per unit in 3000-unit quantities.
