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.”

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
