MALVERN, Pa., Aug. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- New thin film resistor networks, new Schottky diodes, and a new four-digit clock display have been released by Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH).
The new MPD thin film resistor networks in the SOT-143 industry-standard, surface-mount package will allow designers to replace pairs of discrete resistors with a single-package device where two precision-matched resistors are integrated onto a common silicon substrate. Built on Vishay's Thin Film technology, devices in the MPD series integrate pairs of resistive elements with standard values of 1 kilohm, 2 kilohms, 5 kilohms, or 10 kilohms available from stock. An extended -55 degrees C to +125 degrees C operating temperature range ensures exceptional stability even in extreme environments. The new MPD series will improve end product performance while reducing component count and saving space in a variety of applications.
The new Vishay Telefunken ``103'' series Schottky diodes provide superior capacitance, a low forward voltage drop, and a very high single surge current rating. Providing a power-efficient solution for designers of consumer and communications products, each of the new diodes features a low maximum forward voltage drop of 0.37 V at a 20-mA forward current, and a maximum leakage current of just 5 microamps at a reverse voltage of 30 V. Each diode is rated for a high single surge current of 15 A and a typical junction capacitance of 50 picofarads at a 1-MHz frequency. The diodes are ideal for MOS protection; for steering, biasing, and coupling functions in logic-level applications where fast switching is required; in dc-to-dc converters; and in low-current power supplies.
The new Vishay Telefunken TDCG1050 four-digit clock display maintains superior luminous intensity even under direct lighting. With a typical luminous intensity of 4 mcd per segment at 10 mA, and a 10-mm digit height, it maintains full visibility from a distance of up to 7 m. To further increase visibility, the device features a green emission color, a dark surface, untinted segments, and an active colon between the second and third digits. The first device in a new high-end display series from Vishay built on leading-edge AllnGaP and GaN technologies, the TDCG1050 is suitable for video, audio, and TV products; elevators; temperature displays; medical instrumentation; balance displays; and many other applications |
