powered applications, the memory extends battery life by providing low standby current and a deep-power- down mode. The FS-S NOR Flash family offers AEC-Q100 automotive qualification and supports an extended temperature range of -40˚C to +125˚C. “Our new 1.8V, 64Mb FS-S NOR Flash device has a low pin count that is ideal for space- constrained wireless applications, and it is optimized for other high-performance applications, expanding the reach of the family,” said Hiro Ino, Senior Director of the NOR Flash Product Family at Cypress. “This product marks a continuation of Cypress’s strategy to expand our high-performance memory portfolio and our NOR Flash market leadership.” Availability Cypress’s 64Mb FS-S Quad SPI NOR Flash memory is now sampling in 8-lead SOIC and 24-ball BGA packages. Production will start in the second quarter of 2016. Diodes Inc. AP9234L, Now at Mouser, Puts High- Accuracy Li+ Protection on Single Chip Mouser Electronics, Inc. is now stocking the new AP9234L battery protection IC from Diodes Incorporated. This single-chip protection solution provides a rich set of protection features for single- cell lithium-ion or lithium-polymer rechargeable battery packs in smartphones, cameras, and other electronic equipment. The Diodes Inc. AP9234L battery protection IC, now available at Mouser Electronics, integrates a high-accuracy battery protection

circuit with a dual N-channel, common-drain MOSFET that features an ultra-low RSS(ON) specification, typically just 13 mOhms (at VDD = 4.0V, ID = 1.0A). The AP9234L device safely charges and disgorges the battery by turning the MOSFET off when overcharge voltage/current, over- discharge voltage/current, or load short-circuit conditions are detected. The circuit also includes a built-in fixed, delay time to protect external components. The device delivers power savings through a low quiescent current, typically 3.0μA in normal mode and 0.1μA in power-down mode. Additionally, an over-current detection voltage compensation circuit assures current limit accuracy. The AP9234L features power-down capability, as well as a selectable auto-wake- up function, and offers protection voltage customization for different cell-type specifications. The AP9234L is available in a UDFN2535-6 surface-mount package and capitalizes on a high- voltage CMOS process to withstand extreme transient and surge voltages from adapters. With an integrated compensation circuit, it can ensure highly accurate charge/ discharge current limit range in the full operating temperature range of -40 to +85 degrees Celsius.

Toshiba Launches DMOS FET Transistor Arrays with Industry’s First 1.5A Sink- Output Driver Toshiba Corporation’s (TOKYO: 6502) Semiconductor & Storage Products Company today announced the launch of a new generation of highly efficient transistor arrays, the TBD62064A series and TBD62308A series, with a DMOS FET[1] type sink- output[2] driver. The new series succeed the TD62064A series and TD62308A series of bipolar transistor arrays that found wide use in applications including motors, relays and LED drives, and are the industry’s first[3] DMOS FET transistor arrays with a 1.5A sink-output driver. TBD62064APG Mass production of TBD62064A series products is scheduled to start in February 2016. Sample shipments of TBD62308A series products start today, with mass production slated for March 2016. The new products are equipped with 4 channels of 50V/1.5A rated
