Toshiba America Electronic Components today announced the addition of a 200W C-Band gallium nitride semiconductor High Electron Mobility Transistor to its power amplifier product family. The new device will be shown during the conference exhibition portion of the 2013 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium from June 4-6 in Seattle, Washington.

Toshiba has launched an RF-IC for the fast-growing China ETC market. Samples are available now with mass production scheduled to start from November 2013. ETC sets in China usually operate on battery power and requiring ICs that offer low power consumption and low voltage operation. The TC32168FTG also achieves low voltage operation, a fast boot sequence and dual channel reception.

Toshiba Electronics Europe has expanded its family of ultra-miniature, low-power CMOS load switch ICs. The TCK106G, TCK107G and TCK108G belong to the family of 1A switches that help to reduce the board space needed for power management circuitry in mobile phones, tablet PCs and other high component density portable applications.

Toshiba Electronics Europe has extended its line-up of low-capacitance ESD protection devices with the DF4D6.8UG. The DF4D6.8UG comes in a compact 4pin Wafer-Level-Chip-Scale Package and offers ESD protection for dual high-speed data lines while minimising board space. The device targets applications that are increasingly sensitive to ESD events due to reduced feature sizes and working voltages in the system.

Toshiba Corporation expands the Toshiba TX03 series microcontroller family with the launch of its newest TMPM375FSDMG device. Based on the ARM Cortex- M3 core, the TMPM375FSDMG MCU implements a next-generation vector engine that improves motor control, reduces component count, energy, and power consumption.

Toshiba Corporation today announced that the International Electrotechnical Commission has endorsed a committee draft for vote of an International Standard, proposed by Toshiba, that will secure a much higher level of interoperability among subsystems in electricity transmission and distribution systems.

Toshiba America Electronic Components has announced the addition of three new high current P-ch MOSFETs: the SSM6J505NU, SSM6J501NU and SSM6J503NU.
