SEMICOA... A Hardened Debut (Tech)


[SatNews] SEMICOA Corporation, a supplier of discrete semiconductors for high-reliability military, aerospace and commercial markets, has unveiled....

....its first wave of high performance power MOSFET (metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor) products targeting military and aerospace applications. The new MOSFET products cover a broad range of JAN, JANTX, JANTXV and JANS level applications. Leveraging its proprietary architecture from both N-Channel and P-Channel topologies, SEMICOA's new MOSFETs address performance and supply constraints commonly experienced by defense and aerospace customers. In addition, where radiation is a requirement, SEMICOA's new radiation hardened MOSFETs provide a proven, alternative source for customers. Ramesh Ramchandani, President of the Company, said, "The new products reinforce our capability to provide radiation hardened solutions to the military and aerospace arena, while growing a winning product roadmap beyond space level applications to include JANTX, JANTXV as well as targeted commercial markets. It is a natural expansion of technology portfolio, which will help to drive the growth of the company."

Initial radiation hardened MOSFETs for both space level and military applications offer voltages ranges from 30 to 500 volts, meeting and exceeding 100K rad levels. SEMICOA also offers non radiation hardened versions of MOSFETs within the same voltage ranges. To support a rapidly expanding bipolar and power MOSFET product portfolio, SEMICOA has quickly expanded its global sales and support network. In the past three months it has added ten new manufacturer representatives throughout the United States. It has also added new distributor partnerships in Europe and the USA. The company is committed to further expansion of its sales and marketing channels to drive proliferation of new products to the market in 2012.
