Japan Power Transistor Industry Overview
The Japan power transistor market is fragmented and is expected to grow in competition during the forecast period owing to the entry of several MNCs. The vendors are focusing on developing customized solution portfolios to fulfill local requirements. Major players operating in the market include Champion Microelectronics Corporation, Fairchild Semiconductor International Inc., Infineon Technologies AG, Renesas Electronics Corporation, NXP Semiconductors N.V., Texas Instruments Inc., STMicroelectronics N.V., Linear Integrated Systems Inc., Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, etc.
In January 2023, Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation launched automotive 40V N-channel power MOSFETs -'XPQR3004PB' and 'XPQ1R004PB' - that use the new L-TOGL (large transistor outline gull-wing leads) package and feature a high drain current rating with low on-resistance.
In June 2022, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation unveiled a new IGBT module for applications in large-scale PV installations. The company claims the device helps to reduce the number of inverters needed in grid-connected PV installations while providing for simultaneous high-voltage operation and low power losses.
