Toshiba has announced a new three-phase brushless motor controller that features an integrated gate driver. The sensorless design of the TC78B009FTG does not require Hall effect sensors, making it suitable for applications involving high velocity fans or impellers in servers, blowers, small pumps, cordless vacuums and robotic cleaners. In recent years, increases in server capacity and performance have required larger and higher velocity fans for managing the excess heat generated by the equipment.

Toshiba Electronics has announced the launch of a range of general-purpose system power ICs with multiple-outputs. The new devices support functional safety according to ISO26262 for safety-critical automotive applications including those that require extremely high safety such as Electric Power Steering Systems (EPS) and braking systems where ASIL-D is required.

Toshiba Electronics has announced their range of eFuse IC products, consisting of six products in the TCKE8xx series that support various protection functions for power supply lines. Whereas conventional fuses perform a sacrificial function, physically breaking the electrical link to the circuit they are protecting, eFuses offer a resettable solution that additionally provide further protection features that a typical fuse cannot.

  Multiple protection options are afforded with eFuse ICs from Toshiba Electronics Europe. The company introduces six products in the TCKE8xx series for low voltage applications.  

Toshiba Electronics has announced a three-phase brushless motor control pre-driver IC with Intelligent Phase Control technology that enables optimum operating efficiency in a wide variety of applications including high velocity server fans, blowers and pumps. In recent years, advances in server capacity and performance require physically larger and higher velocity fans for cooling any excess heat generated by the equipment.

Toshiba Electronics has announced the launch of a new three-phase brushless motor driver for home appliances such as air-conditioners and air-purifiers. The new TB67B000AHG driver is also suited for use in a wide variety of industrial applications. This high voltage device extends and expands the existing TB67B000 series of drivers that delivers highly energy efficient motor drive and noise reduction in a single, integrated package.

  Toshiba Electronics has announced the availability of a new voltage driven photorelay with a tiny S-VSON4T package and reduced input power dissipation. The new product, designated TLP3407SR, features a maximum LED current of just 1mA at the input, which represents a reduction to approximately 33% of that of its predecessor, the TLP3407SRH.

Toshiba Electronics Europe has announced the addition of new 16TB helium-sealed models to both the N300 NAS Hard Drive and X300 Performance Hard Drive Series. The 16TB models offer 14% more capacity than 14TB models. The 16TB models also double the buffer size of the 14TB models, increasing from 256MiB to 512MiB.

Toshiba Memory Europe has announced that a VMware vSAN 6.7 certification has been earned for its RM5 Series of value SAS SSDs running on HPE ProLiant Gen10 servers. The 12 gigabits per second (Gb/s) RM5 Series with VMware vSAN 6.7 and VMware ESXi 6.7 certification is now listed in the VMware Compatibility Guide and available through the same channels in which HPE ProLiant servers are sold.

  Toshiba Memory has announced the launch of a new Storage Class Memory (SCM) solution: XL-FLASH. Based on the company’s innovative BiCS FLASH 3D flash memory technology with 1bit-per-cell SLC, XL-FLASH brings low latency and high performance to data centre and enterprise storage.

Toshiba Memory Europe has announced that it will officially change its name to Kioxia Europe on 1st October, 2019. The name Kioxia (kee-ox-ee-uh) will be adopted for the names of all Toshiba Memory companies, largely effective on the same date. Kioxia is a combination of the Japanese word 'kioku' meaning 'memory' and the Greek word 'axia' meaning 'value'. Merging 'memory' with 'value', Kioxia represents the company’s mission to uplift the world with 'memory', which forms the foundation of the company’s vision.

Data is interwoven into the fabric of our lives, regardless of how much or little we personally interact with the digital world. Successful, reliable and long-term data storage ensures that everything, from massive data centres and AI platforms down to menial wireless sensors and even our kitchen appliances, continue to function around us. And it is flash silicon-based memory technology that is increasingly being chosen to make this possible.

Industry specialist in the miniaturisation of photorelays, Toshiba Electronics Europe, has introduced a new family of five photorelays housed in an very small package. The new devices are best suited for use in automatic test equipment, memory testers, SoC/LSI testers and probe cards. 

The line-up of DC brushed motor driver ICs from Toshiba Electronics Europe, has been expanded with a highly efficient, single-channel H-bridge driver offering a maximum rating of 50V/3.5A and low standby current. Supplied in a compact, HSOP8 surface mount package and featuring a popular pinout, the TB67H450FNG is suited for new DC brushed motor designs.

It has been announced by Toshiba Electronics Europe that their high-current photorelays are now available with UL 508 certification. All of the nine devices in the series include low on-state resistance MOSFETs based upon Toshiba’s U-MOS VIII process that ensure high performance in a wide range of applications.

It has been announced that Toshiba Electronics Europe has added the M4G Group to its TXZ Family of ARM Cortex-M-based microcontrollers for office automation (OA) equipment, audio-visual (AV) equipment, and industrial equipment. The M4G Group is based on the ARM Cortex-M4 core with a floating-point unit (FPU).

  Compared to traditional bicycle, e-bikes are significantly more expensive and consumers are looking for touchscreen interfaces and convenience, says Sven Hegner, chief engineer, Toshiba Electronics Europe

Toshiba Electronics has announced their range of single-supply single-gate logic devices. In total the lineup consists of 31 devices that simplify the design of voltage-level translation as used in data communication between devices, such as between microprocessors and peripherals. These single-gate devices are provided in tiny packaging that ensure that voltage translation can be implemented even in applications with limited board space.

Toshiba Memory Europe has announced that its KumoScale shared accelerated storage software now supports TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) transport in its 3.9 production release. By leveraging TCP, the most widely-used and trusted networking protocol in today’s enterprise and cloud data centres, KumoScale software enables NVM Express over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) to be deployed over existing Ethernet networks, opening opportunities for broader NVMe-oF deployment and adoption.

Toshiba Memory Europe has announced that the newly released PM5 Series of 12Gb/s enterprise SAS SSDs has earned VMware vSAN 6.7 certification, enabling these flash-based storage devices to be shared across connected hosts in a VMware vSphere cluster. With vSAN 6.7 certification, users can pool PM5 Series SSDs together in a single, distributed, shared data store.
