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 […]

Rectifiers offer robust ESD protection for automotive applications
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 […]
Tiny ESD devices target wearables market
Taiwan Semiconductor announces its new TESD Series of single-channel ESD clamping diodes offering size and performance specifications optimized for wearable applications. The new TESD devices’ unique design features proprietary bidirectional clamping cells (for ESD protection up to ±30kV) in an ultra-small DFN0603 package. The devices in the new TESD Series are offered in versions with 5.0V […]
Schottkys in DPACK footprint offer drop-in improvements in power density, thermal performance.
Taiwan Semiconductor announces its new ThinDPAK family of ultra-fast-recovery Schottky rectifiers. ThinDPAK devices have the same footprint as standard DPAKs – but come in a thinner (1.33mm) package and offer superior power density and thermal performance. Fully AEC-Q qualified with a maximum operating temperature (Tj, max) of 175°C and typical reverse-recovery time of 25ns, ThinDPAKs assure […]
APEC 2023 round-up
The Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC) has grown over the course of a few decades to be the leading conference in North America for power electronics professionals. This past month, March 19th to the 23rd, in Orlando, APEC returned to share the latest trends, technologies, and opportunities in power electronics with industry and academia alike. […]
