Vishay Intertechnology to Showcase Latest Industry-Leading Power MOSFET, Passive Component, Diode, and IC Technologies at APEC® 2012

MALVERN, PA -- January 27, 2012 -- Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today announced its technology lineup for the Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition (APEC®) 2012, taking place Feb. 5-9 at the Disney Coronado Springs Resort in Orlando, Fla. In booth 911, the company will be highlighting its latest industry-leading power MOSFET, passive component, diode, and power IC technologies for a wide range of applications.

Vishay power MOSFET technologies on display at APEC 2012 will include the company's E Series of MOSFETs, which features 30 % lower on-resistance than other 600 V to 650 V devices. In addition, TrenchFET® IV devices will be featured, which offer half the on-resistance of previous-generation devices. For automotive applications, visitors to Vishay's booth will see how the SQJ858AEP MOSFET in the PowerPAK® SO-8 package offers half the size and similar performance to devices in the DPAK package.

Vishay power IC products to be highlighted are optimized for a wide range of applications and end products. For point-of-load applications, the company will feature high-efficiency synchronous buck regulators and microBUCK® regulators, while DrMOS power stages will be on display for notebooks, servers, desktops, and graphic cards. In addition, integrated and versatile primary side controllers for full-bridge intermediate bus applications will be featured.

Power diodes from Vishay will include ultra-low forward voltage drop TMBS® Trench MOS Barrier Schottky rectifiers for use in low-voltage, high-frequency DC/DC converters and polarity protection applications. For single- and three-phase solar inverters, the company will highlight solar modules in EmiPak2 packages featuring state-of-the-art 650 V high-speed MOSFETs, SiC Schottky diodes, FRED Pt® ultrafast diodes, and Trench IGBTs.

Passive components from Vishay will consist of a wide variety of the company's latest capacitors, resistors, and inductors. Featured capacitors will include miniaturized aluminum DC-link devices for solar inverters and DC-link film devices for mid-power electronics; snubber metallized polypropylene pulse capacitors; high-voltage ceramic devices; wet tantalum high-energy capacitors; HVArc Guard® devices to prevent surface arc-over in high-voltage applications; and much more.

Highlights of Vishay's line of resistors will include high-voltage devices, Power Metal Strip® resistors, wirewound resistors for pulsing applications, stainless steel crowbar devices, AEC-Q200-qualified thin film resistors, metal oxide high-surge varistors for transient and overvoltage protection applications, and mini lug temperature sensors for power electronics thermal management applications. Featured inductors will include wireless charging/receiving coils.

As The Premier Event in Applied Power Electronics™, APEC focuses on the practical and applied aspects of the power electronics business. For more information on the conference and exposition, visit http://www.apec-conf.org/.
