40 year global relationship leads to success across broad component technology spectrum

TTI, Inc., the global distributor of Passive, Interconnect, Relay & Switch and Discrete components, has received an award from Vishay Intertechnology in recognition of Best Overall Performance. The award was presented at the electronica 2010 exhibition last November in Munich and confirms the strong global relationship between the two worldwide companies.

Commented Glyn Dennehy, Vice President and Managing Director, TTI, Inc. in Europe: “We are delighted about such important and well deserved recognition and are proud to receive such a prestigious award. Vishay are an extremely important partner and TTI Europe are in a privileged position to support Vishay’s broad product portfolio with extensive stocks and our full technical design capabilities.”

Added Doris Hilbert, Key Account Manager, Distribution, Vishay: “Our two companies have a long-lasting partnership that goes back more than 40 years, a fact affirmed during many high-level meetings and discussions with common customers.

Mouser Electronics, Inc., known for its rapid introduction of the newest products, today announced it is stocking new product from Vishay Semiconductors.

The Vishay Semiconductors TSOP75D25 and TSOP35D25 are infrared receivers developed specifically for the LCD shutter glasses used with 3D-ready TV sets. The surface-mount TSOP75D25 and TSOP35D25 IR receivers are designed to be assembled into active 3D glasses, where they receive infrared signals from the TV set and ensure the glasses™ LCD shutters open and close in proper synchronization to create the 3D effect. Vishay Semiconductors TSOP75D25 and TSOP35D25 IR receivers are designed to operate on a carrier frequency of 25 kHz, which is lower than that used by standard remote control systems and eliminates possible interference from TV and set-top box remote controls. Because TV remote control emitters and receivers operate at a wavelength of 940 nm, the TSOP75D25 and TSOP35D25 are designed to receive the 3D synchronization signals from an 830 nm to 850 nm emitter, further eliminating the possibility of interference.

The Vishay Semiconductors TSOP75D25 and TSOP35D25 integrate a photodiode, amplifier, automatic gain control, band pass filter, demodulator, and control IC into a single, tiny component that enables more streamlined designs for 3D glasses. Because the TSOP75D25 and TSOP35D25 operate at a carrier frequency of 25 kHz with a signal pattern featuring a minimum burst length of 6 cycles, a very high signal to noise ratio is achieved. Since these new IR receivers receive modulated synchronization signals versus baseband signals, a single emitter can be used in the TV to achieve transmit distance of over 26 meters.

MOSFET family includes award-winning TurboFET™ technology devices

Mouser Electronics, Inc., today announced it is stocking Vishay Siliconix’s TrenchFET Gen III Power MOSFETs. Vishay Siliconix transistors and ICs improve the efficiency of power management circuitry in end products while reducing space requirements.

The Vishay Siliconix TrenchFet® Gen III Power MOSFET family offers the industry’s lowest on-resistance in the PowerPak® SO-8 package type, the SO-8 package, and the PowerPak® 1212-8 package. The Vishay Siliconix TrenchFet Gen III Power MOSFET improves greatly on the performance of competing devices optimized for low conduction losses and low switching losses, due to their reduced on-resistance. These Vishay Siliconix devices can be used as the low-side MOSFET in synchronous buck converters and in secondary synchronous rectification and OR-ing applications.

A group of the TrenchFET Gen III devices were honored with the EN-Genius award for Best Improvement in Power Devices. These devices are the first to offer TurboFET™ technology which utilizes a new charge-balanced drain structure to help notebook computers, servers, and other systems use energy and/or circuit board space more efficiently.

Mike Scott, Mouser Vice President of Active Products, states, “Mouser is pleased to partner with Vishay Siliconix to introduce these newest products to our customers. Vishay Siliconix was the first supplier to introduce Trench power MOSFETs and each new generation of TrenchFET technology yields products that raise the bar for power MOSFET performance in a wide range of applications.”
