Toshiba Launches New Strobe Light Discrete-IGBT for Digital Cameras

Reduces switching time to one-third of existing product

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO:6502) has launched a discrete IGBT for the strobe lighting of digital cameras that reduces switching time to one-third that of Toshiba's current product. The new IGBT, "GT5G134", was developed as a dedicated solution for photo-flash intensity control and high-speed-switching photo flash applications.

Key Features
1.	High-speed switching: tf = 0.6μs (typ.) @IC=110A
2.	Low saturation voltage: VCE(sat) = 2.2V (typ.) @IC=110A
3.	Low gate driving voltage: VGE = 4.0V (min.) @IC=110A
4.	Peak collector current: ICP = 110A (max)
5.	Collector-emitter voltage: VCES = 400V
6.	SOP-8 package
Applications
Photo-flashes for digital cameras
