KUALA LUMPUR: Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (Toshiba) has expanded its line-up of “TCTH0xxxE series” Thermoflagger over-temperature detection ICs that can be used in a simple circuit with positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistors to detect temperature rises in electronic equipment.
Toshiba in a statement said the shipment of six new products namely TCTH011AE, TCTH012AE, TCTH021AE, TCTH022AE, TCTH011BE and TCTH012BE, have started.
The new products expand the range of PTC thermistors that can be selected by supporting two types of PTCO output current and are packaged in a small, industry-standard SOT-553.
This is to ensure that the TCTH0xxxE series supports easy configuration of over-temperature detection for complete sets of electronic equipment, and helps to reduce size and power consumption.
Toshiba uses technical information from Murata Manufacturing Co Ltd regarding PTC thermistors for the over-temperature detect solution in which Murata recommends Thermoflagger for use with PTC thermistors.
Thermoflagger over-temperature detection ICs detect temperature rises when configured in a simple circuit with PTC thermistors, whose resistance value changes with the temperature.
Toshiba will continue to expand its product line-up with various packages and improved device characteristics that contribute to design flexibility and carbon neutrality. – BERNAMA
