Facing a design problem? Central's Research and Development Team can meet the strictest custom design requirements and get the job done quickly. For example, when a major PC manufacturer needed a Schottky Rectifier with a package profile less than 1.0mm, Central assembled one of its chips into a SUBone™ SOD-323 package. A new standard device was born in record time.

Selecting the right discrete from Central's vast portfolio of devices can be a daunting task. However, the process becomes easy with the involvement of the Applications Engineering Group. These engineers are ready to assist product designers in making the right choice. Central's applications engineers also share their expertise by publishing articles and white papers on discrete devices and device applications.

A critical part of Central's constant effort to achieve perfect product quality is its ability to thoroughly analyze devices. Central's Product Analysis Lab is equipped with a state-of-the-art JEOL Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) with EDX. Devices can be inspected for metallurgical impurities and wire bonding connections can be verified.
