What is the status of the CIS industry today?
Driven by renewed mobile and automotive applications, the CIS industry is expected to expand at a CAGR of 10.4% from 2015 to 2021, reaching $18.8bn market value by 2021.Yole Développement (Yole), the ‘More than Moore’ market research and strategy consulting company, expects sustained growth of the CIS industry for the next five years.
2-in-1 MOSFETs contribute to reduced power losses
Featuring excellent heat dissipation and low drain-source ON-resistance (typical RDS(ON) of 25mΩ at N-ch VGS=4.5V), two 2-in-1 MOSFETs have been unveiled by Toshiba Electronics Europe. The SSM6L61NU and SSM6N61NU, housed in compact SOT-1118 (UDFN6) packages, are suitable for use as power management switches and DC/DC converters in a variety of mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets.
Opto-isolated IGBT gate pre-driver IC suits EVs & HEVs
Toshiba Electronics Europe has announced an opto-isolated IGBT gate pre-driver IC with enhanced protection functions for the in-vehicle inverters of EVs and HEVs. Inverter control is used to drive the motors of electric and hybrid vehicles efficiently. As the control and drive functions have different operating voltages, they must be isolated from each other with a device such as a photocoupler.
Cut output resistance by 50% for simultaneous motor drive
Helping save space, reduce power consumption, lower heat dissipation and minimise vibration and acoustic noise in high-speed motion control designs, a bipolar, 2-channel stepping motor driver has been announced by Toshiba Electronics Europe. The TC78S122FNG is rated for a high voltage of 40V and currents of up to 2.0A. Target applications include surveillance cameras, ATMs, office automation equipment, factory automation and home appliances.
Photocouplers enable 5Mb/s communication from 6.78mW
Featuring a power consumption of just 6.78mW (54% lower than a conventional product, such as the TLP2355), Toshiba Electronics Europe has launched two photocouplers for 5Mb/s communication applications.
ARM Cortex-M3-based MCUs suit consumer & industrial applications
Toshiba Electronics Europe has announced a range of MCUs based on the ARM Cortex-M3 core. The M3H MCUs are the first Toshiba MCUs to be fabricated with an embedded flash memory process based on the 65nm logic process. Products in this group are well suited for use in a variety of consumer and industrial applications, such as motor control, consumer AV devices and office automation equipment.
Dual picture video processor targets automotive panels
Toshiba Electronics Europe has announced a dual picture video processor designed for high resolution automotive displays. The TC90195XBG supports 1920x720 panels at 60fps and 1920x1080 panels at 30fps for navigation, entertainment and driver support systems that are increasingly found in cars.
SiC and GaN technologies lead the way at PCIM 2016
This year’s PCIM exhibition introduced a whole host of new power products, technologies and applications. Sally Ward-Foxton reports from Nuremberg.This year’s PCIM (power conversion, intelligent motion) exhibition in Nuremberg brought together 436 exhibitors and more than 10,000 visitors from around the world to share the latest in power products, technologies and applications.
MOSFETs for the automotive market
The line-up of automotive power MOSFETs from Toshiba Electronics has been expanded with the release of the new 40V N-ch housed in the low on-resistance TO-220SM(W) package. The TKR74F04PB is well suited for a variety of high power automotive applications, including DC-DC converters, EPS (Electric Power Steering) and load switches.
Reducing power consumption and turnaround times
The Cadence Innovus Implementation System from Cadence Design Systems has been adopted by Toshiba Corporation for its memory controller’s production design project. The tool enabled Toshiba to achieve an optimal target performance while creating a 16% smaller place and route (P&R) area for random logic with 25% lower power consumption when compared with its previous solution.
