IXYS' Clare Subsidiary Introduces CPC5603 MOSFET Providing Robust, Economical Solution for Phone Line IC Applications
April 19 2006 - 7:30AM
Business Wire
Clare, Inc., an IXYS company (NASDAQ:SYXI), announced the immediate
availability of the CPC5603C N-channel depletion mode MOSFET device
as a hook switch and linear regulator for LITELINK(TM) III Phone
Line Interface IC applications. The CPC5603C device provides an
increased drain-to-source breakdown voltage of 415V which is ideal
for ITU-T K.21 enhanced level power contact testing as compared to
the standard 350V CPC5602C MOSFET device. Meant to simulate AC
power lines crossing telephone lines, the enhanced level power
contact is a survival test that subjects the phone application
circuit to 15 minutes of a 230Vrms source. The CPC5603C eliminates
the need for expensive PTC protection devices on the tip-ring input
of the phone line. Mark Heisig, Clare's General Manager, said, "The
CPC5603C MOSFET for LITELINK applications survives enhanced level
power contact testing and saves the customer additional
bill-of-material (BOM) costs. Robustness and price savings are
critical for OEMs given the high deployment of enterprise and
consumer VoIP products with a public switch telephone network
(PSTN) interface." LITELINK Phone Line Interface ICs are used as
data access arrangements (DAA) for various telephony and modem
applications. Currently, LITELINK ICs have been designed-in
extensively into foreign exchange office (FXO) port applications
for voice over internet protocol (VoIP) gateways and IP-PBXs. FXOs
enable the convergence of network and PSTN connections offering the
user maximum flexibility with existing telephony and networking
hardware. The CPC5603C N-channel depletion mode device utilizes
Clare's third generation vertical DMOS process, offering high
voltage MOSFET performance in an economical silicon gate process.
The higher breakdown voltage coupled with low on resistance and low
gate-to-source threshold voltage provides an ideal linear regulator
for the internal LITELINK voltage reference as well as telephone
hook switch control. Pricing and Availability The CPC5603C
N-channel depletion mode MOSFET device is now available in sample
and production quantities. For OEM quantities of 10,000 units, the
device is $0.36 with standard lead-time of six weeks after receipt
of order. About Clare and IXYS Clare, Inc., a leader in the design
and manufacture of solid-state relays and high voltage integrated
