Product Overview

Semiconductors

Vishay Intertechnology manufactures several kinds of discrete semiconductors. These typically perform a single function, such as switching, amplifying, rectifying, or transmitting electrical signals.

Vishay Intertechnology also manufactures selected ICs, which combine the functions of multiple components on a single chip, as well as modules, which include multiple components in a single package.Vishay Intertechnology's semiconductors portfolio includes MOSFETs (low-voltage, medium-voltage, and high-voltage), ICs (both powerand analog), a wide range of diodes and rectifiers, and many different types of optoelectronic products.

Vishay Intertechnology's optoelectronics portfolio includes infrared receivers used in consumer electronics for remote controland in industrial applications for long-range sensing of objects; optocouplers and solid-state relays to optically isolate high-voltage sources from low-voltage control circuitry found in industrial applications like motor control loop feedback, control of valves, and solenoids, and to drive high-voltage IGBTs and MOSFETS; and infrared emitters for TV remote controls, automotive adaptive cruise control and heads-up-displays, smoke detectors, and a host of industrial applications. The optoelectronics product portfolio also includes reflective and transmissive optical sensors to determine the presence or proximity of objects and for encoding applications; phototransistors and PIN photodiodes to detect visible and infrared light; LEDs for a variety of automotive and industrial lighting applications; and infrared transceivers for wireless data transfer.Vishay's growing portfolio of digital output sensors, including ambient light, RGB, UV, and gesture control sensors, has been enhanced by the integration of in-house IC design capabilities.

Custom Products

Diodes are used in a wide range of electronic systems to route, switch, and block radio frequency (RF) signals. Vishay Intertechnology diodes include all types of rectifiers; small-signal switching, Zener and PIN diodes; and products for transientvoltage suppression (TVS), electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) filtering. Rectifiers convert alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC), a unidirectional current required for operation of many electronic systems. Vishay Intertechnology rectifiers, including patentedn TMBS® and FRED Pt® devices in low-profile eSMP® packages, save space, reduce power losses, and improve efficiency in automotive, industrial, telecommunications, computing, andother applications. TVS product lines include PAR® devices that offer 185 °C junction temperature performance and are targeted at automotive applications.

Passive Components

Passive components from Vishay Intertechnology are used to store electrical charges, to limit or resist electrical current, and to help in filtering, surge suppression, measurement, timing, and tuning applications.

Resistors are used in all electronic circuits to restrict current flow. Resistive products manufactured by Vishay Intertechnology include single (discrete) resistors based on thin film, thick film, metal electrode leadless face (MELF), metal oxide film, plasticfilm, carbon film, and wirewound technologies; Power Metal Strip® resistors; battery management shunts; fuses; and pyrotechnic initiators and igniters. Vishay Intertechnology manufactures resistor networks and arrays, in which multiple resistors are combined in a single package. The Company also manufactures non-linear resistors, which suppress voltage increases due to temperature and voltage changes, as well as variable resistors, including potentiometers, trimmers, sensors, and magnetic encoders. Vishay Intertechnology innovations include industry-first Power Metal Strip® resistors for precision current monitoring of sensitive circuits, such as those in electric power meters, industrial systems, and automotive electronic controls for engines, transmissions, and pollution reduction systems. They are ideal for all types of current sensing, voltage division, and pulse applications. The Power Metal Strip family includes very high-power versions. Other innovative resistive products include high-temperature chip resistor arrays (with operating temperatures of up to 230 °C), water-cooled power resistors (with power ratings up to 2500 watts), thermal fuses for automotive applications, and miniature thick film resistors for hearing aids and high-frequency probe tips, to name just a few.
