FemtoFET – 20V 500mA 0.6×0.7mm MOSFET From TI

FemtoFET – 20V 500mA 0.6×0.7mm MOSFET From TI

Texas Instruments “TI” recently announced  FemtoFET series.
There are N-channel MOSFETS like CSD15380F3 and P-channel MOSFETS like CSD25480F3 and CSD23280F3 in this series. These transistors are SMD (Surface Mount Devices) available in a very small package, the land grid array (LGA) package.

To explore this family we will highlight the FemotoFET MOSFET CSD15380F3. It has a 20V Vds, 990 mohm Rds @ Vgs=8, 500mA maximum Id, 0.5W power dissipation and ultra-small LGA Footprint 0.73 mm × 0.64 mm which make it suitable for many handheld and mobile applications.

The new MOSFET has Qg = 0.216 nC Ultra-low capacitance and that improves switching speeds in data line applications.

Hi,
I wrote a lot of code to automate SMT assembly and over the last 15 years I played with a lot of solder paste.

I love the small size of these parts, I would love to use them, but if you look at the datasheet you see the solder paste stencil aperture in under 6 mil. Getting solder paste to release from such an opening is going to be tough. If you try to assemble by hand it is not going to be easy.

If you use this part in production your assembly folks will scream bloody murder.

One machine I wrote code for (Gerber to GenCAD translation) was the MYDATA MY600 paste printer. That machine uses very special (IE expensive and hard to get) Type 6 paste in a very fluid flux. Now that you might get through a stencil but it is not something you want to use on a complete board using a single thin stencil. The MY600 does a great job, the first time I saw a board come off the machine my jaw dropped. (They ain’t cheap at $250K.)

Consider the part carefully but please also consider what you can see and assemble.

Interesting note to take into consideration before adopting this new transistor. But it’s still an outstanding transistor I think.
