New 600 V, 47 A Vishay Siliconix N-Channel Power MOSFET Features Industry’s Best FOM of 15.12Ω-nC, and On-Resistance of 0.07Ωin TO-247 Package

MALVERN, PENNSYLVANIA— Nov. 4, 2010— Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today released a new 600 V, 47 A n-channel power MOSFET with ultra-low maximum on-resistance of 0.07Ω at a 10 V gate drive and an improved gate charge of 216 nC in the TO-247 package. TheSiHG47N60S’s 15.12Ω-nC gate charge times on-resistance, a key figure of merit (FOM) for MOSFETs used in power conversion applications, is the industry’s lowest for this device type.

The low on-resistance of theSiHG47N60Stranslates into lower conduction losses that save energy in inverter circuits and pulsewidth modulation (PWM) full-bridge topologies in solar and wind inverters, and telecom, server, and motor control power applications.

The newSiHG47N60Sis produced using Vishay Super Junction technology, which has been tailored to minimize on-state resistance and withstand high energy pulse in the avalanche and commutation mode. The MOSFET is compliant to RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC and 100% avalanche tested for reliable operation.

Samples and production quantities of the new power MOSFET are available now, with lead times of 10 to 12 weeks for larger orders.

Vishay Intertechnology Offers Complete Family of IR Receivers Optimized for Extremely Noisy Environments and Short Burst Codes: the AGC5

MALVERN, Pa.— Nov. 29, 2010— Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today announced that the company’s optoelectronics portfolio now includes a complete family of miniaturized automatic gain control category 5 (AGC5) IR receivers for remote control systems. Vishay’s AGC5 devices are suitable for codes with short bursts and offer excellent noise suppression, resulting in the best receiving distance under noise.

Vishay’s AGC5 devices are immune to dimmed LCD backlighting, noise from plasma screens, and any fluorescent lamps, leading sources of environmental optical noise severely impacting the performance of IR systems. With an improved immunity against ambient light and insensitivity to supply voltage ripple and noise, the IR receivers are optimized for remote control applications in industrial and consumer applications, including set-top boxes, LCD TVs, and DVD players, where a robust transmission range and a clean signal in the presence of optical noise are extremely important.

Each receiver includes a photo detector and preamplifier circuit, mounted within an epoxy-encapsulated module that acts as an IR filter. The AGC5 receivers are specified for operation from 2.5 V to 5.5 V with a minimum irradiance of 0.1 to 0.15 mW/m², depending on the package. This translates to a transmission range of 45 meters in dark ambients for most standard remote controls. The modules feature a carrier frequency range from 30 kHz to 56 kHz, offer a low 0.35 mA supply current, and comply with RoHS 2002/95/EC and WEEE 2002/96/EC.

A simple interactive graph athttp://www.vishay.com/ir-receiver-modules/i-graph.htmlvisually demonstrates how remote control codes, AGC values, and optical noise sources are related. On the IR remote control receiver page of Vishay’s website, engineers are able to select the best device based on the remote control code being used. The“Best AGC” column shows which of the five different AGCs is best suited for the application. For more information, please visithttp://www.vishay.com/ir-receiver-modules/.

Samples and production quantities of the AGC5 IR receivers are available now, with lead times of four to six weeks for large orders.
