Superjunction MOSFETs

500 V, 600 V, and 650 V high-performance superjunction MOSFETs from Vishay.

Two-Switch Forward Converter

Vishay's two-switch forward converter is a widely used topology and considered to be one of the most reliable converters ever.

Power Factor Correction Applications

Vishay's power factor is the ratio of the real power (P = Watts) to the apparent power (VA = Volt Ampere); the goal is to achieve a power factor as close to 1 as possible.
