Diotec Semiconductor unveils P-Channel Power MOSFET, MD06P115. Solar-Operated Power Bank keeps devices charged on the way. Polarity protection is provided by Diotec's MD06P115.

Solar Power Banks are an absolute must for all outdoor enthusiasts. A solar power bank works by harnessing sunlight to generate electricity through photovoltaic cells. An ideal travel companion on the go. If one chooses a solar power bank with a very high capacity it can charge the smartphone many times. Such a power bank is also suitable for tablets, digital cameras, drones, GPS devices, and any battery that can be charged via USB.

The P channel MOSFET MD06P115 by Diotec Semiconductor is used for reverse battery polarity protection. Assembled in the small SOT-26 case outline, it offers a continuous Drain current rating of -3.1 A and a very low on-state resistance of a maximum 115 mΩ. Due to its logic level Gate threshold, it can be operated at the USB voltage level of typically 5 V. Just an additional resistor and a Zener diode are required to provide a simple yet power-saving polarity protection on the smallest PCB space demand.
