Key Devices that Contribute to Energy Savings – Power Semiconductors

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation

Power semiconductors are semiconductor devices that controls the flow of electricity to reduce power loss. They are used everywhere involving the conversion of electricity, but some power is lost as heat during conversion. The causes are broadly divided into conduction loss and switching loss, which are in a trade-off relationship. Toshiba's high-performance power semiconductors have succeeded in lowering this dichotomy of loss in a balanced way through a variety of innovations, efficiently enabling energy savings in all electrical devices.
For example, the U-MOS X series and DTMOS VI series are state-of-the-art silicon power semiconductors that improve efficiency in electrical devices in society and help reduce energy consumption in the systems that use them.
