KAWASAKI, Japan, May 16 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) — Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (“Toshiba”) has launched the first two products in its Thermoflagger™ over-temperature detection IC series: “TCTH021BE,” which does not have a latching function for the FLAG signal when it detects abnormal states; and “TCTH022BE” which does have a latching function. They detect temperature rises inside electronic equipment in a simple circuit configuration with positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistors. Shipment starts today.
For electronic equipment to perform as specified, their semiconductors and electronic components must operate within design parameters. Temperature is one crucial parameter, especially if the internal temperature becomes higher than that assumed during the design process. This can be a major problem in respect of safety and reliability, and requires an overheating monitoring solution to detect any rise in temperature.
