IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 6, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Microsemi Corporation (Nasdaq:MSCC), a leading manufacturer of high performance analog/mixed signal integrated circuits and high reliability semiconductors, announced today that DSCC qualification has been granted on a family of twelve high conductance ultrafast switching diode array products.
Available for both through-hole and surface mount applications, these arrays are manufactured in several standard hermetic package configurations. Each part type is constructed utilizing multiple 1N4148 ultra high speed switching diode chips manufactured in Microsemi's JANS wafer fab. This rugged construction is particularly well suited for defense and aerospace applications which demand high reliability under severe environmental conditions.
Features include:
* Low Capacitance less than 4 pF * Isolated Diode Junction Construction to eliminate cross talk * Fast switching speeds less than 20ns (10ns on 1N6100, 1N6101, 1N6510, 1N6511) * Low leakage; Ir less than 100nA at 40V
"Our customers have expressed strong demand for these arrays, so we are pleased to be able to add them to our already extensive QPL listing," said Kare Karlsen, Microsemi Executive Vice President of Military and Aerospace Products, adding "Our Lawrence, Massachusetts facility is now in full production on these devices."
New Product Qualifications include:
