Low power discrete semiconductors for the IoT

To keep up with fast-to-market products, it is important for components in the user's IoT platform to be easy to design and readily available. Toshiba offers a wide variety of discrete components ideal for the user's next small form-factor project, emphasizing industry-leading performance and low power consumption. These products are available now from Digi-Key. Image sensors and Wi-Fi chips can be power hungry. They need a regulated, low-noise rail for analog power. The company’s ultra-low dropout LDOs are great for this, providing efficiency similar to DC-DC regulators, but without the noise or the need for additional inductors. Power routing within a system is greatly simplified through use of an integrated load switch. The integration saves board space and design time and can also add additional features that are cumbersome to design, such as over-temperature shutdown, slew rate control, and reverse current blocking. ESD damage is a common cause of returns and undiagnosable system issues. Their ESD diodes provide industry-leading protection and are suitable for any exposed contact point, whether it be a power rail, push button, USB port, or an RF antenna. The company’s MOSFETs provide exceptionally low RDS(ON) in a small package. The low RDS(ON) enables the system to stay cool, charge quickly, and last longer between charges.
