SemiSouth Laboratories, Inc. (Starkville, MS), a manufacturer of silicon-carbide (SiC) transistor technology for high-power, high-efficiency, harsh-environment power-management and conversion applications, has launched a new family of low-cost SiC junction gate field-effect transistors (JFETs). The new products are targeted at high-end audio applications.
"These parts are especially suitable for high-end audio amplifier designs which demand the best linearity performance and lower distortion," said Dieter Liesabeths, SemiSouth's vice president of sales and marketing. "Compared to conventional SiC JFET for power applications, the prices for these audio parts have been reduced by about 15 percent in order to meet the demand of customers."
SemiSouth spun out of MDA-funded science and technology projects funded by MDA at Mississippi State University. Additionally, the company has received funding through several MDA SBIR and STTR awards.
