Overview

Battery-powered tools—also known as cordless tools—are increasingly adopted across industries such as construction, woodworking, automotive, and DIY due to their portability, efficiency, and ease of use. These tools typically operate on rechargeable Li-ion battery packs ranging from 12V to 72V, offering high energy density and long cycle life.

The core system includes a battery management unit, power tree, and motor drive stage, often utilizing Brushless DC (BLDC) motors for improved efficiency and reduced noise. onsemi provides a comprehensive portfolio of solutions tailored for these applications, including low- and mid-voltage MOSFETs, gate drivers, LDO regulators, and super-junction MOSFETs, reducing system cost, and accelerating time to market by integrating intelligent power and sensing technologies into compact, robust, and thermally efficient designs.

Products

Low/Medium Voltage MOSFETs
Si MOSFETs control current flow between source and drain terminals via gate voltage. They're widely used in power amplifiers, voltage regulators, and switching circuits for their efficiency, speed, and power-handling capabilities.

Gate Drivers
GaN, IGBT, FET, MOSFET, H-Bridge MOSFET, and SiC MOSFET inverting and non-inverting drivers ideal for switching applications.

Silicon Carbide (SiC) Cascode JFETs
Our high-performance SiC cascode JFETs deliver best-in-class switching speed, lower switching losses, and higher efficiency. They provide high switching frequency and deliver ultra-low on-resistance (RDS (on)) starting at just 5mohm, utilizing less than half the die size of any other technology. Available in both standard thru-hole (including Kelvin) and surface mount packages, they offer excellent cost-effectiveness. These devices utilize a unique cascode configuration, integrating a high-performance SiC fast JFET with a cascode-optimized Si-MOSFET. This innovative approach enables standard gate drive (0-12V) for SiC devices. Given their smaller die size and compatibility with existing driver solutions, the SiC cascode JFETs offer optimized system performance and cost structure.
