KAWASAKI, Japan, Oct 13 (Bernama) -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (“Toshiba”) has launched a lineup of four electronic fuses (eFuse ICs), the TCKE5 Series, that integrate multiple functions for the protection of power supply lines. Shipments start today. The new products operate over an input voltage range of 1.7V to 5.5V and are housed in the small SOT-353F (UFV) package. The lineup consists of four products, “TCKE501UA,” “TCKE501UL,” “TCKE502UA,” and “TCKE502UL.”
The miniaturization, enhanced functionality, and lower power consumption of electronic equipment have increased the use of applications that require low-voltage power supplies, including 1.8V power lines. To improve system reliability, protection functions against overcurrent and short-circuit conditions are also required for low-voltage power lines.
