Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation has launched two bipolar transistors “TTA2097 and TTC5886A” (with SC-63 package: Toshiba’s nickname is New PW-Mold), suitable for gate drive circuits in power devices, current switches in consumer equipment and industrial equipment, and LED drive circuits. The collector-emitter voltage rating and collector current (DC) rating of TTA2097 is -50 V/-5 A and that of TTC5886A is 50 V/5 A.
The new products TTA2097 and TTC5886A use small surface-mount type SC-63 package. Compared with Toshiba’s existing products with the same package, the new products have changed the wire material from gold to copper while the ratings and electrical characteristics are equivalent. This contributes to the reduction of environmental impacts. It is also easy to replace Toshiba’s existing products.
Toshiba will continue to expand its lineup of products that help reduce environmental impact.
Applications
Consumer equipment and industrial equipment
- Gate drive circuits for power devices
- Current switches
- LED drive circuits, etc.
Features
- Use of copper wire materials to reduce environmental impact
- Large collector current (DC) rating:
IC=-5 A (TTA2097)
IC=5 A (TTC5886A) - Small surface-mount type SC-63 package:
6.5 mm × 9.5 mm (typ.), t=2.3 mm (typ.)

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation has launched the product “HN1D05FE”, a 400 V voltage switching diode. The new product “HN1D05FE” is suitable for applications that require high voltage characteristics such as commercial AC power supply circuits and AC-DC converter circuits for LED illumination. With a 400 V reverse voltage rating, HN1D05FE is suitable for power supply circuits below 200 V, as well as reverse-current protection and surge protection, and more.
In addition, the new product is housed in a SOT-563 package (Toshiba package name: ES6, 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm (typ.), t=0.55 mm (typ.)) to achieve high voltage characteristics in a small size.
Furthermore, built-in two switching diodes allow reducing the number of devices in circuits which use multiple devices.Moreover, the package size is reduced by approximately 70 % and the package height is as low as 50 % compared with the SOT-24 package (Toshiba package name: SMQ, 2.9 mm × 2.9 mm (typ.), t=1.1 mm (typ.)) of Toshiba’s existing product 1SS399. This helps to downsizing and thinning of the set.
Applications
- Consumer equipment (home appliances, OA equipment, PC, etc.)
- Industrial equipment (FA equipment, PV, semiconductor-manufacturing equipment, etc.)
Features
- High reverse voltage : VR = 400 V
- Low leakage current : IR = 0.1 μA (max) (VR = 400 V)
- Small and thin SOT-563 Package : Toshiba Package Name : ES6 (1.6 mm × 1.6 mm (typ.), t = 0.55 mm (typ.))

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (“Toshiba”) has launched two products of 600V small intelligent power device (IPD) for brushless DC motor drive applications such as air conditioners, air cleaners, and pumps. Volume shipments of “TPD4163K” and “TPD4164K,” which have output current (DC) ratings of 1A and 2A, respectively, start today.
Both new products are housed in a through hole type HDIP30 package, which reduces the mounting area by approximately 21% against Toshiba’s previous products. This helps reduce the size of motor drive circuit boards.
As power supply voltage may fluctuate significantly in regions with unstable power supply, the voltage has been increased from the 500V of Toshiba’s previous products[1] to 600V, which improves reliability.
A “Reference Design for Sensorless Brushless DC Motor Drive Circuit” that utilizes the functions of the new TPD4164K with a TMPM374FWUG microcontroller with vector control engine is available from today on Toshiba’s website.
Toshiba will continue to expand its product line-up with improved characteristics, to improve design flexibility, and to contribute to carbon neutrality through energy-saving motor control.
Applications
Brushless DC motors in home appliances
- Fan motors (air conditioner, air cleaner, ventilation fan, ceiling fan, etc.)
- Pumps
Features
- High power supply voltage rating to secure operation margin for power supply voltage fluctuations: VBB=600V
- Small package
Through hole type HDIP30: 32.8mm×13.5mm (typ.), t=3.525mm (typ.)

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation announced that Atsushi Tomishima, an Expert at its Electronic Devices & Storage Research & Development (R&D) Center, is a recipient of a 2023 1906 Award from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
The IEC is the world leader in evaluating and publishing international standards for electrical, electronic, and related technologies. The 1906 Award, created in 2006 and named for the year IEC was founded, honors the work of experts around the world whose work is fundamental to IEC and the execution of its important mission. The Award also recognizes recent and exceptional achievements—a project or other contribution—related to IEC’s activities that contribute in a significant way to advancing the Commission’s work.
Mr. Tomishima, a researcher in the Package Solution Technology Development Dept. at Toshiba’s Electronic Devices & Storage R&D Center, has been an expert member representing Japan on the IEC’s subcommittee on integrated circuit technology (TC47/SC47A) since FY2015. He also serves as an executive member of the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) subcommittee of the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association, and has led the subcommittee’s activities, and consolidated numerous opinions and proposals on standardization.
At IEC’s EMC simulation modelling (SC47A WG2) and EMC measurement methods on Integrated circuit (WG9) working groups, he has elicited opinions from many countries, ensured a full understanding of each participant’s position, and summarized discussions.
Through these activities, he received this award in recognition of his significant contribution to the efficient promotion of standardization in the semiconductor design and testing field. These international standards established by Mr. Tomishima’s activities allow us to accurately evaluate the noise characteristics of semiconductors themselves, greatly contributing to improving the quality of product design such as integrated circuits and automobiles.
Toshiba will continue to promote international standardization activities in the electric and electronic technologies areas.
