Central Semiconductor Corp. announces the introduction of a new family of discrete semiconductor devices called Multi Discrete ModulesT (MDMT). The first two devices to be introduced in this family are the CMLM0405 and CMLM0605. The CMLM0405 combines an isolated 60 Volt, Low V_CE(SAT) NPN Transistor and a 0.5 Amp, Low V_F Schottky diode. The complementary CMLM0605 is an isolated 60 Volt, Low V_CE(SAT) PNP Transistor and a 0.5 Amp Low V_F Schottky diode. The combination of these devices is ideal for motor control and DC-DC circuit applications.

The MDMT family represents Central's first effort to utilize the benefit of different semiconductor devices in the same package. Packaged in a PICOminiT SOT-563 surface mount case, the CMLM0405 and CMLM0605 offer a low profile of under 0.6mm and require 65% less circuit board space when compared to a combination of an SOT-523 transistor and an SOD-523 Schottky diode.

The CMLM0405 and CMLM0605 are available Bulk Packed or 3,000 pcs on 7" Tape & Reel. Prices for the CMLM0405 and CMLM0605 start at $0.14 each for 3,000 pcs on a 7" reel. Sample devices are available upon request. Requests for new device combinations are always welcome.

Other MDMT devices in the SOT-563 package currently in development include:

• CMLM2205: 75 Volt, Low V_CE(SAT) NPN Transistor and 0.5 Amp, Low V_F Schottky Diode

• CMLM0705: 60 Volt, Low V_CE(SAT) PNP Transistor and 0.5 Amp, Low V_F Schottky Diode

• CMLM0205: N-channel DMOS FET and 0.5 Amp Low V_F Schottky Diode

Central Semiconductor manufactures leading edge discrete semiconductors and is always eager to explore design engineers' requests for special, selected or custom devices. Specifications for these new devices can be found in the New Products / Latest Updates section of Central's website at www.centralsemi.com/new.

Central Semiconductor Corp. announces the release of the new CMDSH05-4 energy efficient high current/low V_F Schottky diode packaged in a SUPERminiT SOD-323 package. This device offers a high continuous forward current of 500mA and a low maximum V_F specification of 0.35V at 100mA and 0.47V at 500mA. The CMDSH05-4 is ideal for motor control and DC-DC applications in portable battery powered electronics. Central Semiconductor's EEDT Schottky diodes typically have a forward voltage drop of at least 50% less than non-EEDT diodes. The SOD-323 surface mount package offers a nominal profile under 1.0 mm and compared to an SOD-123 utilizes 49% less circuit board space.

This device is available Bulk Packed or 3,000 pcs on 7" Tape & Reel. Prices for the CMDSH05-4 start at $0.14 each for 3,000 pcs on a 7" reel. Sample devices are available upon request.

Central Semiconductor Corp. announces the release of the new series of TRIACs in the
TO-220FP FullPak package. This series includes 8.0 Amp (CQ220-8MFP, CQ220-8NFP), 12 Amp (CQ220-12MFP, CQ220-12NFP), 16 Amp (CQ220-16MFP, CQ220-16NFP) and 25 Amp (CQ220-25MFP, CQ220-25NFP) devices. The MFP suffix signifies 600 Volts (V_DRM , V_RRM)
in a FullPak case and the NFP suffix signifies 800 Volts (V_DRM , V_RRM ) in a FullPak case. The TO-220FP package provides a fully encapsulated plastic case requiring no additional mounting insulation. These TRIACs are ideal for AC control applications and feature gate triggering in all four (4) quadrants.

The devices are available Bulk Packed or in a 50 piece sleeve. Prices for the CQ220-8MFP start at $0.56 each for a sleeve of 50 pcs. Prices for the CQ220-12MFP start at $0.62 each for a sleeve of 50 pcs. Prices for the CQ220-16MFP start at $0.72 each for a sleeve of 50 pcs. Prices for the CQ220-25MFP start at $0.82 each for a sleeve of 50 pcs. Consult the factory for 800 Volt devices. Sample devices are available upon request.
