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.
