Taiwan Semiconductor introduces its new SUPER CLAMP Snapback TVS device series. These TVS diodes feature snapback characteristics with a 1.0 to 1.05 clamping ratio between the designated breakdown voltage and clamping voltage. The lower clamping voltage of the optimized snapback TVS protects the circuit at a higher peak pulse current than conventional TVS diodes, allowing designers to use…
Taiwan Semiconductor unveils low bias current Zener diode series
Taiwan Semiconductor announces its new series of Zener diodes with a selection of devices providing regulated voltages from 1.8VDC to 39VDC, all with ultra-low bias current (IZT) of 50µA and maximum power dissipation (PD) of 500mW. These devices are ideal for applications where exceptionally low bias current is needed (to extend battery life), essential (for…
Taiwan Semiconductor launches automotive-grade rectifiers with enhanced ESD capability
Taiwan Semiconductor announces its new line of automotive-qualified rectifiers featuring ESD withstand capability. The new TSD Series rectifiers simultaneously provide repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of up to 600V as well as ESD protection of >10,000V (per IEC-61000-4-2). Devices in the series have optional current ratings of 1A, 2A, and 3A, and operating temperature ranges from…
Taiwan Semiconductor launches new 40V power MOSFETs
Taiwan Semiconductor introduces the new 40V PerFET (NH Series) power MOSFETs with a PDFN33 package. The new MOSFETs are built on proprietary device structures and processes that enable exceptionally low on-state resistance and switching figure-of-merit (FOM – R*Q). The achievement of 35% FOM reduction, compared to previous technology (NB Series), puts this portfolio at the…
