Nexperia has unveiled analogue switches that can work with control logic from 1.8 to 5V, regardless of supplies between 1.5 and 5.5V. There are two versions: NMUX1308, an 8:1 analogue multiplexer/demultiplexer which is compatible with, but more capable than, existing 4851 and 4051 analogue switches, and the NMUX1309 dual 4:1 analogue mux/demux which can replace 4852 and 4052 devices. All ...

Government consent for the acquisition of Newport Wafer Fab by Vishay has finally been given by Deputy Prime Minister and Secretary of State in the Cabinet Office Oliver Dowden. The site has now been renamed Newport Vishay. Vishay’s $177 million offer for the fab was accepted last November but the government has been dragging its feet for four months over ...

For example, our technology editor highlights that UCLA researchers have created a real solution-without-a-problem (yet) by inventing a 2D structure with an electrically tuneable thermal resistance.

Nexperia is aiming at protecting high-speed automotive data lines with ESD protection diodes whose capacitance is as low as 0.28pF. With stand-off voltages in the 18 – 32V range and a snap-back characteristic, the AEC-Q101 (automotive) qualified parts are intended to be used close to connectors on boards. The base part number is PESDxxVF1Byy-Q, with xx representing the nominal stand ...

Nexperia has teamed up with Kyocera AVX to develop an industrial 650V 20A silicon carbide rectifier module. It is aimed at “high frequency power applications ranging from 3kW to 11 kW power stack designs [in] industrial power supplies, electric vehicle charging stations and on-board chargers,” according to Nexperia. It “has a low inductance package and it has been qualified to ...

Nexperia has created a dc-dc converter chip designed to extend the life of 3V primary coin cells in bursty IoT applications, such as those with pulsed radio transmitters. “The IC’s designed to extend the life of a typical non-rechargeable lithium coin cell battery while also increasing peak output current by up to 25x compared to what a typical coin cell ...

Nexperia has entered the IGBT market, with a 600V 30A device, to be followed by 40, 50 and 75A types. “IGBT is a relatively mature technology,” said the company. “Nonetheless, the market for these devices is expected to grow in line with the increased adoption of solar panels and electric vehicle chargers. Nexperia’s 600V IGBTs feature a carrier-stored trench-gate field-stop ...

Nexperia has announced a broadening of package options for its NextPower 80/100 V MOSFETs portfolio, previously only available in LFPAK56E, to now also include LFPAK56 and LFPAK88 packaging. These devices have been designed to combine high efficiency with reduced spiking behavior in telecommunications, server computing, industrial, power supply, fast charging, USB-PD, and motor control applications. The Qg*RDSon figure of merit has ...

Nexperia has added an 8x8mm package option, and a second 5x6mm option, to its ‘NextPower’ mosfet range which is designed to decrease spiking when switching to reduce EMI. “The Qgate.Rds(on) figure-of-merit has long been a focus for semiconductor manufacturers aiming to improve the efficiency of MOSFET switches,” according to the company. “However, relentlessly pushing this figure ever lower has had ...

Nexperia has created an energy harvesting IC for photovoltaic cells up to around 1mW, that automatically matches the cell to the battery – aiming to extract at least 80% of energy that the cell can produce for any given illumination. Harvesting range is 35µW to 2mW. Inside the IC, called NEH2000BY, power conversion is thorough a voltage-doubling capacitive dc-dc converter, ...
