The proliferation of electric vehicles (EVs) is poised for a substantial increase in the coming years, with a projected 323 million EVs on the roads by 2040, as indicated by a study from analyst firm Wood Mackenzie. Accompanying this surge in EV production, substantial investments in charging infrastructure will be imperative. However, the challenge lies in the limited technical expertise available for the development of charging stations that demonstrate high efficiency within the mandated short time frames.
As the demand for EVs rise the imperative for robust charging infrastructure becomes increasingly pronounced. In light of these evolving dynamics, Toshiba stands at the forefront of the movement, taking a pioneering role in the development of cutting-edge EV chargers. Recognizing the critical role of charging infrastructure in shaping the future of electric mobility, Toshiba is investing in technological innovation and expertise. Toshiba aims to empower the evolution of EV charging infrastructure, ensuring that it aligns seamlessly with the burgeoning global demand for electric vehicles.
Featured Products
3rd Generation MOSFETs
Similar to previous models, the latest third-generation MOSFETs come equipped with an integrated SiC Schottky barrier featuring a low forward voltage (VF) of -1.35V (typ.), effectively mitigating variations in RDS(on) and thereby improving overall reliability.
SiC Series 1200 V MOSFET
Toshiba's MOSFETs with a 1200 V rating feature an expansive gate-source voltage range, spanning from -10V to 25V. This wide range enhances adaptability for diverse circuit designs and operational scenarios. The gate-threshold voltage (VGSth), ranging from 3.0V to 5.0V, ensures consistent switching performance with minimal deviation and facilitates the creation of uncomplicated gate-driver designs.

SiC Series 650 V MOSFET
Toshiba's MOSFETs with a 650 V rating are able to handle currents (ID) up to 100A and feature RDS(on) values as low as 15mΩ. These devices optimize the cell structures used in second-generation devices. As a result of this advancement, a key figure of merit (FoM) calculated as the product of drain-source on-resistance (RDS(on)) and gate-drain charge (Qg) to represent both static and dynamic losses has improved by about 80%. This significantly reduces losses and allows power solutions with higher power densities and lower running costs to be developed.

Smart Gate Driver Photocouplers
TLP5214A/TLP5214/TLP5212/TLP5222 are smart gate driver photocouplers with a VCE(sat) detecting function, miller clamping function, FAULT outputting function in addition to a general-purpose gate driver coupler to protect IGBT from overcurrent generated in the inverter applications. To accommodate multi-functionality, 16-pin SO16L package is used for these products.
Isolation Amplifiers
Toshiba TLP78x/TLP79x Optically Coupled Isolation Amplifiers feature input side Sigma-Delta (∑-Δ) analog-to-digital converter technology (ADC). The ADC converts analog input signals into high-speed digital data streams with galvanic isolation based on optical coupling technology. This enables these devices to achieve a high level of linearity. TLP78x and TLP79x provide a guaranteed Common Mode Transient Immunity of 20kV/µs (typical @VCM=1kV, Ta=25°C). The optical barrier guarantees an isolation voltage of 5000Vrms (minimum). These Toshiba amplifiers offer extremely stable operation, even in electrically noisy environments, making them ideal for motor control applications.
