Power semiconductors

Semiconductor devices are an intrinsic part of the world’s electrical infrastructure, controlling and managing the flow of electrical current energy. Through a mix of conduction, switching, and blocking resistance they incur power losses that impact performance and this will influence design size, and system cost. To ensure the most efficient use of power in any application, losses can minimised by good design and high performance semiconductors that offer low on-resistance, fast switching and latest innovation.

Intelligent power ICs

Toshiba's extensive lineup of intelligent power ICs ranges from low-voltage 40V and 60V to high-voltage 250V and 600V devices. Low-voltage intelligent power ICs feature a variety of protection functions such as overcurrent, thermal shutdown, and diagnostic output and are suitable for a range of automotive and industrial applications. Toshiba high-voltage devices for BLDC motor drive feature protection functions and include a matched gate driver to deliver an integrated solution in a compact package.
