Industry’s first space-grade 200V GaN FET gate driver

Texas Instruments (TI) has announced a new family of radiation-hardened and radiation-tolerant half-bridge gallium nitride (GaN) field-effect transistor (FET) gate drivers.

This family of gate drivers includes the industry’s first space-grade GaN FET driver that supports up to 200V operation. The devices are available in pin-to-pin compatible ceramic and plastic packaging options and support three voltage levels. (Read more.)

Toshiba photorelays improve semiconductor tester efficiency

Toshiba has introduced two new photorelays that deliver significant improvements for semiconductor testing. The TLP3414S and TLP3431S photorelays offer high-speed turn-on times up to 62% shorter than their predecessors with no loss of performance. They also come in a compact package that is 20% smaller than before, saving PCB space.

These characteristics make the TLP3414S and TLP3431S ideal for pin electronics applications in semiconductor testers, which measure devices under test (DUT) with high accuracy and at high speed while switching signals. (Read more.)
