Vishay’s New Multi-Channel EMI Filter Arrays Feature Ultra-Compact LLP Leadless Packages For Board Space Savings

Devices Feature Low Profile of 0.6 mm and a Pitch Between Pin to Pin of 0.4 mm

MALVERN, PENNSYLVANIA — January 19, 2007 — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today announced the release of three new four-, six-, and eight-channel EMI filters in the ultra-compact LLP leadless packages.

With a low profile of 0.6 mm and a pitch between pin to pin of 0.4 mm, the new VEMI filter arrays are designed to save board space and provide ESD protection in portable electronics for mobile computing, mobile communication, consumer, industrial, automotive, and medical applications.

The new arrays include the four-channel VEMI45AA-HNH, the six-channel VEMI65AA-HCI, and the eight-channel VEMI85AA-HGK. Delivering high-quality filtering, the new devices are capable of attenuating unwanted signals by more than 30 dB over the 900 MHz up to 2.3 GHz frequency range, with a resistance of 100 Ω and an input capacitance of 60pF. Low leakage current helps to prolong battery life.

All three devices provide transient protection for data lines as per IEC 61000 4 2 (ESD) at 30 kV (air and contact discharge) and IEC 61000 4 5 (lightning) from 4 A
(tp = 8/20µs). They also are compliant with RoHS 2002/95/EC and WEEE 2002/96/EC.
