January 21, 2009 – Central Semiconductor Corp. announces the release of the CMPSH1-4L and CMPSH1-4LE Low V_F Schottky rectifiers with superior low V_F characteristics and packaged in the SOT-23F surface mount case. The CMPSH1-4L features a low forward voltage drop of 270mV @ 100mA, and 390mV @ 1.0A, while the enhanced version CMLPSH1-4LE, features low leakage currents of 200µA @ 5.0 Volts and 900µA @ 40 Volts.

In addition to superior electrical specifications, the CMPSH1-4L and CMPSH-4LE are packaged in the SOT-23F providing a 9% lower profile than the standard SOT-23 with a maximum height of 1.0mm. These energy efficient devices are ideal for portable battery powered applications where extending the battery charge duration is a prime requirement. These devices were developed in response to customers’ inquiries requesting alternative electrical characteristics to meet specific design requirements.

The CMPSH1-4L and CMPSH1-4LE are available Bulk Packed or 3,000 pcs on 7” Tape & Reel. Price for the CMPSH1-4L starts at US$0.090 each for 3,000 pcs on Tape and Reel, and the CMPSH1-4LE starts at US$0.095 each for 3,000 pcs on Tape and Reel. Sample devices are available upon request.
