Ibtissame Krumm, Senior Supplier Account Manager at Farnell, states: “The global power semiconductor market is expanding rapidly. While demand for power semiconductors for automotive applications has been making headlines for some time, there are actually many other applications where demand is growing just as fast, if not faster.”

“Underlying most of these applications are power MOSFETs, whose use (in addition to the well-known automotive applications) includes green energy applications for solar inverters and heat pumps; industrial controls; power supplies; and rechargeable appliances, such as cordless gardening tools. The performance of power MOSFETs is crucial to the overall system performance of these devices and is often the starting point for any new project by development engineers.”

Farnell’s new product development customers need quick and easy access to these critical components to design, test, evaluate, prototype, and launch new concepts. As such, Farnell's partnership with Toshiba and the capabilities of Toshiba's new 300-millimeter wafer fabrication facility for power semiconductors will ensure that both companies can support the exponential growth in current demand for high-quality MOSFETs, as well as many other semiconductor products.

Some of the new MOSFETs now available from Farnell include:
TPH3R10AQM Power MOSFET: Based on the U-MOS-X process, this device offers improved on-resistance and a safe operating area. The device is ideal for demanding applications such as switched-mode power supplies in data centers, communications base stations, and many industrial uses.
