TOKYO - Friday, December 6th 2013 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO:6502) today announced the launch of "TPD1055FA", a 1-channel high-side switch IPD (intelligent power device) that adopts a small-sized package for use in automotive applications. Mass production is scheduled to start at the end of this month.

The product is fabricated with BiCD process, allowing introduction of a new WSON10 package line-up. This reduces the mounting area to approximately 30% that of equivalent products1 in a SOP-8 package, contributing to the downsizing of equipment.

Key Features

    BiCD process (P-channel DMOS output@VDSS=40V)
    Supply voltage: VDD(opr)=5 to 18V
    Built-in protection and diagnostic functions:

Protection functions: overcurrent, overtemperature

Diagnostic functions: overcurrent, overtemperature, open load, short to VDD-output

    Low Drain-Source ON-resistance

RDS(ON)=0.12Ω(max)@VDD=8 to 18V, Io=-2A, Tch=25°C

    Small package

WSON10(3mm x 3mm)

Applications

Automotive applications that use a 12V battery with a 3A or lower current, such as solenoid valve drives, mechanical relay drives, driving lamps, and load switches.

Note: [1] Comparison with “TPD1038F” and “TPD1053F”.
