Mosfet Array

[roger kerr]

I am having trouble finding a mosfet array containing an array of independent mosfets similar to a transistor array.  I dont want to be restrained to logic levels but current shouldnt be an issue.  I want to keep a minimum parts count.  Any thoughts or suggestions?

What is the purpose of the mosfets? There are about 5k in digikeys "FETs - Arrays" category.

 Hi,  well I did do the lazy google thing,Jeroen3 and I wasnt very successful (including digikey, etc.).  And I have been looking at the parts lists used in other designs containing multiple mosfets and I really havent found something satisfactory.  I would like to make a flexible interface to independently drive/control a number of different devices using different voltage levels and different current levels.   If I require more power for a particular output I can always add a discrete mosfet  to one of the outputs of the array.  I have found one device FDC6401N of the type Im looking for but it only contains 2 independent mosfets.  I was hoping for at least 4. Thanks for responding.

I have thought of using a relay bank to  do this and it would  work but thats quite crude and I was hoping for a more elegant solution.

I think realistically that when we are talking about SOT-23 or smaller surface mount MOSFETs, there isn't a great need to develop single packaged arrays of multiple fets.

With that said, you could look at the TPIC6259 and variants

Maybe you find what you need of you search for smart high or low side switches.
Those are available in arrays, but have a relatively low power rating.

Er, as Jeroen says, there's 5000 on digikey. What are all of those options lacking?

Yeh, you'd make a great politician...

What's satisfactory?

What min/max volts, amps?  Switching rate?  Protection (short/overcurrent, inductive/over voltage, ESD, surge, ??)?

Thank you everyone.  Im looking at the suggestions put forward.  Not exactly what I had originally thought was a straight forward question.  I had thought that if I found the right device I would build a ckt around it.  I think I need to go back to the drawing board and better define my requirements as is being gently suggested by Tim.  I think one of the difficulties Im challenged with is that its difficult to put very much power into a small pkg and hence they arent really available.    ALD114804  is one that I just found but I dont think it is sufficient for what Id like.  So thank you all and Ill close this post.
