Low-Voltage Analog Switches

These low-voltage analog switches are single-pole single-throw (SPST) types available in 8-lead SOIC and 5-lead SOT-23 packages. The ISL84514 has normally open (NO) contacts and the ISL84515 has normally closed (NC). Extremely low power consumption (<5µW) extends battery life, low leakage currents (1nA max) extend hold times in sample-and-hold-circuits, and fast switching speeds (t_ON = 150 ns max, t_OFF = 100 ns max) reduce propagation delay in timing-sensitive applications. Parts offer minimal charge injection (10 pC max) to maximize signal integrity.

Toroidal Cores

The “O”-Core uses silicon steel strip, gradually pointed towards the end, replacing the constant width strip used in traditional toroidal transformer cores. Available in standard sizes for power ratings from 20VA to 1200VA, 50-60Hz operation, O-cores can also be customized. There is a full 15% savings over a rectangular cross section with a 1:2 side-to-height ratio, the most common core shape of toroidal power transformers. Because O-cores are more difficult to manufacture with higher scrap losses, the price will typically be 20% higher than the traditional toroidal core.

IGBT Package

Mega Power Dual optimized IGBTs offer three technologies in a package 60% the size of two single 1000A devices. The CSTBT chip improves tradeoff in V_{CE (sat)} vs. E_off and a decrease of V_CE(sat), for optimizing total power loss. The light punch through process decreases current leakage and mitigation of thermal run-away, while the plug cell merged design improves short-circuit safe operating area by controlling saturation current level and reducing gate capacitance.
