The site has now been renamed Newport Vishay. Vishay’s $177 million offer for the fab was accepted last November but the government has been dragging its feet for four months over giving a final consent order. The old Inmos fab, which opened in 1980, had been acquired by Nexperia, which is controlled by a China […]
February 29, 2024 — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. recently introduced five new half-bridge IGBT power modules in the newly redesigned INT-A-PAK package. Built on Vishay’s Trench IGBT technology, the VS-GT100TS065S, VS-GT150TS065S, VS-GT200TS065S, VS-GT100TS065N, and VS-GT200TS065N offer designers a choice of two best in class technologies — low VCE(ON) or low Eoff — to lower conduction or switching losses in high current inverter stages for […]
February 16, 2024 — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. recently introduced a versatile new 30 V n-channel TrenchFET® Gen V power MOSFET that delivers increased power density and enhanced thermal performance for industrial, computer, consumer, and telecom applications.
