    Reporting a 30% smaller footprint than six-pin VS-6 devices, the VS-8 eight-pin, surface-mount package for power MOSFETs measures just 0.85-mm thick. Currently available packages are said to measure 1.1-mm thick. The new package occupies an area of 5.15 mm2 and measures 1.9 mm x 2.9 mm. In addition to tight dimensions, the VS-8 promises improved power dissipation in the order of 2.5W at t
