Toshiba Adds Fast, Low Resistance MOSBD(TM) Single Die MOSFET and Schottky Barrier Diode Devices for DC-DC Converters
Latest MOSBDs Based on Toshiba U-MOS V High Speed Process Increase Efficiency and Reduce Wiring Impedance and Circuit Board Space Compared to Discrete Devices
IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 23 / / -- Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. (TAEC)*, a committed leader that collaborates with technology companies to create breakthrough designs, today announced that the company has expanded its line-up of MOSBD(TM) devices, which integrate a power MOSFET and a Schottky Barrier Diode onto a single die to save board space, increase power efficiency and reduce wiring resistance and inductance by eliminating external wiring between the MOSFET and the diode. Developed by Toshiba Corp., the two new MOSBDs are well suited for high efficiency DC-DC converter applications in notebook PCs, portable devices, and other electronics where efficient power management is required.
The new devices are based on U-MOS V, the fifth-generation process technology in the Toshiba fast switching series, which enables lower on-state resistance for low-side MOSFETs, and faster switching for high-side MOSFETs. Each of the MOSBDs utilizes Aluminum Strap (Al-Strap) connections instead of conventional wire bond technology to further reduce on-state resistance (RDS(ON)).
The addition of these two new MOSBDs to the current lineup provides a selection of drain current, RDS(ON) and package to meet a range of system design requirements. The TPCA8A02-H features drain-source voltage of 30V, drain current of 34A (max.), RDS(ON) of 4.8milliohm(1) (typ.), and low profile SOP Advance packaging from Toshiba, which measures 5mm x 6mm x 0.95mm. The TPC8A03-H features drain-source voltage of 30V, drain current of 15A (max.), RDS(ON) of 5.1milliohm(1) (typ.), and SOP-8 packaging, which measures 5mm x 6mm x 1.6mm.
Pricing and Availability
The 4.8milliohm (typ.) TPCA8A02-H in SOP-Advance packaging and the 5.1milliohm (typ.) TPC8A03-H MOSBD are available now, with samples priced at $0.55 and $0.50, respectively.
Toshiba's Discrete Products
Since 1986, Toshiba Corp. has ranked as the top discrete supplier on a worldwide basis, based on annual revenue from international shipments of total discrete products. According to the most recent annual report from market research firm Gartner Dataquest (San Jose, CA), Toshiba remained the top discrete semiconductor supplier. (Source: "2006 Worldwide Semiconductor Market Share Report," Gartner, released April 2007). More specifically, Toshiba is a leading supplier in a number of discrete product categories, including power transistors, rectifiers and thyristors, LMOS logic, CMOS logic, optoelectronics, small signal diodes and transistors. The company's discrete devices are designed to meet the growing demand for high-performance and lower voltages in today's wireless telecommunications and consumer electronics applications, while emphasizing its strength in the automotive and industrial markets.
