IGBT

Semiconductor Division

Semiconductor Division provides discrete semiconductors and system devices.

Discrete semiconductors are single function semiconductors such as diodes and transistors; they are key components that contribute to energy saving. Drawing on capabilities honed over many years, the Division offers a wide variety of high performance, high reliability products in three major product categories: power devices, small-signal devices and optocouplers. All play a vital role in reducing energy consumptions in product areas extending from home appliances and mobile devices to automobile and infrastructure-related applications, including railway systems and power generation. Demand for discrete semiconductors will grow steadily alongside efforts to realize a low carbon economy.

Advanced Discrete Development Center

The Advanced Discrete Development Center is the Discrete Semiconductor Division’s R&D operation. It designs devices and develops technologies, including process know-how, for future generations of discrete devices, in collaboration with Toshiba Corp.’s Research and Development Center.

Furthermore, the focus of our System Devices are on digital ICs, including the Visconti™ image recognition processor; microcontrollers; and highly efficient analog ICs with low power consumption, particularly motor drivers for the automotive and industrial markets, where high performance, high level integration, low power consumption and competitive costs are essential.　Taking full advantage of core strengths in large scale integration technology and unique analog devices and design technologies, our System Devices contribute to the realization that supports safe, secure and comfortable lives with capability-rich edge devices for sensing and processing data and system control.
