Toshiba introduces new series of 300mA LDO voltage regulators
Toshiba has announced the introduction of the TCR3DMxxA and TCR3EMxxA series of general-purpose, single-output voltage regulators with an on/off control input, featuring a low dropout voltage and fast transient response. Both series are housed in the ultra-small DFN4D package (1.0mm x 1.0mm x 0.37mm), which enables the use of small ceramic input and output capacitors (≥1.0µF). This makes them suitable for industrial applications or battery-powered systems requiring high-density board assembly. Moreover, the devices provide a control pin threshold voltage (VCTH) of 0.8V (min) and support 1.2V I/Os, helping to extend the device’s battery life.
Alps Alpine develops the world’s smallest class TACT switch
Alps Alpine has announced the launch of what they believe to be the world’s smallest class surface-mount type TACT Switch, the “SKUB Series.” At just 2.4mm×1.4mm×0.55mm (W×D H), this switch achieves a smaller size than previous models, while maintaining the same tactile feel and durability. The SKUB series has an actuating force of 1.6N and a switching travel of 0.11mm. The initial contact resistance is 500mΩ. The IP68-protected component has a long service life of 500,000 switching cycles. It is designed for switching currents of 50mA at a maximum of 12VDC. Mass production began in September 2024.
ROHM develops the industry’s smallest CMOS Op Amp for smartphones and IoT devices
ROHM has developed an ultra-compact 1.8V – 5V, rail-to-rail CMOS operational amplifier (op amp) – the TLR377GYZ. It is optimised for amplifying signals from sensors such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, used in smartphones, small IoT devices, and similar applications.
