Toshiba Announces Its New Surface Mount Thin Flat Package.


IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 8, 1999--

Toshiba America Electronic Components Inc. Monday announced the development of a new thin and compact package for power semiconductors.

The Thin Flat Package (TFP TFP Total Factor Productivity

) is 40 percent smaller than Toshiba's TO-220SM package (or D2-PAK) and is 62 percent thinner than the size of a TO-220 package. Toshiba was able to achieve this size reduction by reducing the bonding wire size and optimizing the internal frame structure.

Toshiba developed unique flat leads along the rear side of the new TFP package. The shorter lead bonding structure of this new package and the special heat sink A material that absorbs heat. Typically made of aluminum, heat sinks are widely used in amplifiers and other electronic devices that build up heat. Small heat sinks are the most economical method for cooling microprocessors and other chips.  design allows for 20 percent lower thermal dissipation Dissipation

 strives to enhance our product offering through new developments," stated Lupita Ho, business development manager for TAEC's power semiconductors. "With the development of the new TFP package, we are now able to offer designers a package solution that meets their need for ever decreasing board space."

TFP dimensions:

 -- Foot print area: 9mm x 9mm
 -- Package width:   9mm
 -- Package height:  2.8mm
 -- Weight:          0.75g
 -- Other:           Two source terminals are applied to the power

     Toshiba's new TFP package will initially be offered in the
company's line of Power MOSFETs, Schottky Barrier Diodes and High
Efficiency Diodes.
