Kawasaki, Japan : Subtle, extremely low idle current [1] load switches produce huge improvements in IC performance

Toshiba Electronic Devices and Storage Corporation has introduced the “TCK12XBG Series” of load switch ICs to the market. It provides a significant reduction in idle current [1] and an output current rating of 1A. Encapsulated in a tiny WCSP4G package, these new ICs help product manufacturers to innovate a new generation of wearables and IoT devices that consume less power and provide longer charging times. Bulk shipments start today.

The TCK12XBG Series N uses a new driver circuit that produces a typical on-state idle current of 0.08nA [1] . This represents an area of ​​99.9% reduction from Toshiba’s current product, “TCK107AG”. This is a tremendous advance in efficiency that will help small battery-powered wearables and IoT devices last longer.

The WCSP4G, a new package developed for these products, is only 0.645×0.645mm, about 34% smaller than the TCK107AG. Due to its small size, it is easy to mount it on small boards. Its back layer can reduce damage to the microchip in the process of mounting it to the board.

Toshiba has designed a series of three ICs: the TCK127BG with automatic discharge that turns on at active high; Automatic non-discharge TCK126BG that turns on active high; and TCK 128BG with automatic discharge that turns on at active low.

Toshiba will continue to improve low passive current technology to reduce device size, reduce power consumption, and drive a sustainable future.

Experiment

  • Wearables, IoT devices, smartphones (on and off switches for power supplies for sensors, etc.)
  • Replacement of load switch circuits formed by discontinuous semiconductors, such as MOSFETs (MOSFETs), transistors, etc.

Properties

  • Extremely low idle current (on state) [1] : I Q =0.08nA (typ)
  • Low standby current (in OFF state): I Q(OFF) +I SD(OFF) =13nA (Typ)
  • Small WCSP4G Package: 0.645×0.645mm (Typ), t:0.465mm (Max)
  • back layer that minimizes damage during board plating
