Toshiba to Develop New Transistor Series Using Latest Process Technology
Toshiba is developing the BiCD transistor array TB62xxxA series as the successor to its bipolar transistor array TD62xxx series, which has found use in a wide range of applications, including motor, relay and LED drives. BiCD is a process technology that allows integration of Bipolar, CMOS, and DMOS devices. The new generation series has a DMOS FET (Double-Diffused MOSFET ) type output driver developed with the latest 130nm BiCD process technology.
The new products will offer faster switching and reduction of input current than current bipolar transistor arrays and contribute to improved power efficiency.
Toshiba started product development from this month, and will start sample shipments and mass production of TB62003A, successor to the current TD62003A, as the first product in the new line-up in June 2015. The company subsequently plans to release two products in the TB62xxxA series every six months.
