➀ Farnell stocks the new microBRICK regulator module from Vishay, adding to its power portfolio with the smallest DC/DC regulator module on the market; ➁ The microBRICK is a synchronous buck regulator with integrated power MOSFETs and inductor, capable of delivering 20 A of continuous current; ➂ It offers adjustable output voltage down to 0.6 V from an input range of 4.5 V to 18 V, suitable for various computing, consumer electronics, telecom, and industrial applications.

➀ Vishay Intertechnology expands its frequency control portfolio with new surface-mount crystals and oscillators; ➁ The new products offer smaller packages, wider value ranges, and improved performance; ➂ These enhancements reduce board space requirements and costs.

➀ Vishay is investing £51 million in Newport Wafer Fab, now renamed Newport Vishay. The investment follows a £142 million purchase in November 2023 from Nexperia, a subsidiary of Shanghai's Wingtech, in a government-enforced sale. The Welsh government has supported the investment with an additional £5 million. The deal included a condition that the UK government be informed if Vishay plans to dispose of the plant. ➁ Welsh Government Economy Secretary Rebecca Evans highlighted Wales' increasing role as a world leader in semiconductor production, emphasizing the importance of compound semiconductors in everyday life and their strong global growth projections. ➂ Evans mentioned the positive impact of the investment on Wales, including attracting significant inward investment, providing state-of-the-art facilities, fostering R&D, and creating well-paid job opportunities.

➀ Vishay introduces the PTCEL67R series of automotive-rated PTC thermistors designed for handling in-rush currents in electric vehicles; ➁ The thermistors can absorb up to 340J and have high switching temperatures; ➂ They are suitable for DC link charging and energy discharge circuits, offering overload protection and current limiting.

➀ Vishay has expanded the SO-6 package to support 1kV operation for opto-based MOSFET and IGBT gate drivers. The package dimensions are 7mm from end to end with a creepage distance of 8mm.➁ The peak working voltage is 1.14kV for the widely-splayed part and 891Vpeak for the less-splayed versions.➂ The isolated drivers feature an AlGaAs LED on the input, a photo-diode, and an amplifier output, with secondary side power required at 15 to 30V (3mA max).

➀ Vishay has introduced the industry's first 100V SOP-4 solid-state relay with AEC-Q102 qualification; ➁ The relay operates up to +125°C and features fast turn-on and turn-off times; ➂ It is suitable for safety-critical applications and battery management systems in industrial and automotive environments.

➀ Vishay Intertechnology has launched new wireless charging coils designed for high humidity conditions; ➁ The coils are made from powdered iron and are suitable for industrial, medical, and consumer electronics applications up to 30 W; ➂ The coils offer a smaller footprint, higher inductance, and better heat resistance than previous generations.
