    Plastic-packaged load switch presented as smallest available

    04/01/2013

    Silego Technology's extensive line of load switches now includes what is considered to be the world's smallest standard packaged load switch. Coming in at only 1x1 mm and 40 mohms, the SLG59M1440V competes favorably in size with the WL-CSP load switches on the market, without the manufacturing and reliability problems associated with WL-CSP packages. The 1x1 mm load switch has programmable ramp rate control, integrated discharge, and over-temperature protection. "Silego designs our products with reliability, ease of use, and high volume in mind", said John McDonald, VP of Marketing. McDonald continued "We again demonstrate adherence to those principals with this introduction of the world's smallest high-performance load switch using standard packaging. Most electronics manufacturers prefer standard plastic packages over WL-CSP, as they are easier to manufacture, and have better reliability in harsh environments." In addition, Silego's power process allows integrated advanced power protection circuits. The SLG59M1440V has an integrated temperature sensor that shuts the switch OFF during over-temperature conditions. Silego
