OEMs Demand Power Management MOSFETS for Consumer Applications
3/4/2004 - According to Venture Development Corporation (VDC), OEMs in the consumer market are demanding smaller, less power-hungry MOSFETS for power management in cell phones, PDAs, portable music players, GPS receivers etc.
Mobile devices make up a large portion of the consumer market. These products continue to represent unique design challenges to OEMs including the need for:
- Smaller footprints
- Increased voltage-supply requirements
- Minimized power consumption for high-frequency processors and related components
OEMS feel that power management MOSFETS help to meet these requirements by:
- Having the ability to be driven from a 2.5V supply in very small footprints
- Offering high switching speeds
- Supplying typically low-resistance speeds
According to Project Manager Marianne D'Aquila, "A general rule of thumb in the world of portable electronics is 'more functionality = more power' and consumers are constantly demanding more functionality, as a result of this and other factors covered in The Global Market for Power Supply and Power Management Integrated Circuits, Fourth Edition. We expect the market for power MOSFET drivers to grow at an 8.8% CAGR, reaching $411.3 million in 2006."
