Hauppauge, NY USA – March 15, 2005 – Central Semiconductor Corp. announces the introduction of a new family of discrete semiconductor devices called Multi Discrete Modules™ (MDM™). The first two devices to be introduced in this family are the CMLM0405 and CMLM0605. The CMLM0405 combines an isolated 60 Volt, Low VCE(SAT) NPN Transistor and a 0.5 Amp, Low VF Schottky diode. The complimentary CMLM0605 is an isolated 60 Volt, Low VCE(SAT) PNP Transistor and a 0.5 Amp, Low VF Schottky diode. The combination of these devices is ideal for motor control and DC-DC circuit applications.
The MDM™ family represents Central’s first effort to utilize the benefit of different semiconductor devices in the same package. Packaged in a PICOmini™ 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 MDM™ devices in the SOT-563 package currently in development include:
• CMLM2205: 75 Volt, Low VCE(SAT) NPN Transistor and 0.5 Amp, Low VF Schottky Diode
• CMLM0705: 60 Volt, Low V CE(SAT) PNP Transistor and 0.5 Amp, Low VF Schottky Diode
• CMLM0205: N-channel DMOS FET
and 0.5 Amp, Low VF 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.
