The case for AEC-Q semiconductors in non-automotive uses
Specifying parts built in AEC-Q-certified fabs is an inexpensive way of creating exceptionally reliable, long-lasting designs. Kevin Parmenter, Taiwan Semiconductor USA Electronic components used in vehicles must have a AEC-Q100 qualification; this qualification means the device has passed specific stress tests and guarantees a certain level of quality/reliability. Of course, reliability is increasingly important in […]
Low-dropout regulators are AEC-Q101 qualified
Taiwan Semiconductor announces the availability of the TQL8xx Family of automotive-grade, low-dropout (LDO) regulators. This high-reliability, AEC-Q101 qualified LDOs offer manufacturers a reliable alternative source for the critically important linear regulators utilized in numerous battery-driven automotive functions, including dashboard, cluster, climate control, fuel pump, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). They are also well suited for […]
Power 40-V MOSFETs deliver low on resistance
Taiwan Semiconductor introduces the PerFET Series of single- and dual-channel 40V power MOSFETS. Built on proprietary device structures and processes that enable exceptionally low on-state resistance and switching FOM (figure-of-merit), the PerFET device’s achievement of 50% RDS(ON) and 40% FOM reduction puts this new portfolio at the industry’s leading edge of performance. The 40V N-channel […]
Fast-recovery epitaxial diodes support higher current applications
A line of fast recovery epitaxial diodes called the PUUPxxH family extends the benefits of FRED technology to applications requiring up to 6 A of operating current. These high-reliability (AEC-Q101 qualified) devices deliver optimized switching speed vs. reverse recovery time. Their soft reverse recovery results in lower noise switching while achieving low losses and increased […]
