The new products are designed as main switching devices in smartphone battery protection circuits (PCMs), performing critical functions such as overcharge and over-discharge protection, as well as charge and discharge current control. They offer two key advantages:

First, by significantly reducing on-resistance within the same package size, the products minimize heat generation. For example, the MDWC12D013PERH achieves more than a 50% improvement in on-resistance (Rss(on)) compared to Magnachip’s 7th-generation device of the same size, resulting in a temperature reduction of up to 10°C under identical test conditions. This reduced heat contributes to extended battery life and improved charging stability in smartphones.

Second, enhanced current density and pin-to-pin compatibility enable replacement and integration within existing circuit designs, reducing PCB footprint and the number of FETs required, which helps reduce production costs. This allows manufacturers to utilize the saved space for larger battery capacity or slimmer device designs.

 

The new products incorporate Magnachip’s 8th-generation technology, utilizing a high-density trench cell structure. They reduce specific on-resistance (Rsp) by approximately 48% and improve current density by approximately 185% compared to the previous generation, achieving RSS(on) Typ. below 1mΩ.

 

According to Omdia, generative AI has emerged as a key trend in the technology market and is rapidly expanding, driven by the consumer (digital) segment. The market is projected to grow from approximately $7.7 billion in 2022 to $30.4 billion by 2028, with smartphones expected to account for a major share of applications.

In response to these market trends, Magnachip plans to introduce 22V Ultra Low-Ron products within the year, further expanding its LV MOSFET portfolio for high-performance mobile devices.

 

“Achieving low on-resistance and superior thermal performance within limited space is a key challenge in smartphone battery protection circuit design. Our 8th-generation Ultra Low-Ron 12V LV MOSFET is designed to address these requirements, delivering enhanced efficiency and reliability, and is expected to provide highly competitive technical value in this application. Leveraging our expertise in power semiconductor design and manufacturing, Magnachip will continue to enhance its product competitiveness across a wide range of applications, including mobile,” said Hyuk Woo, CTO of Magnachip Semiconductor.

 

At PCIM Europe 2026 in Nuremberg, Germany (Hall 6, Booth 337), Magnachip will showcase its power semiconductor solutions, including these new products.
