June 13, 2006 - Central Semiconductor Corp. announces the release of the CMKTC825A temperature compensated (TC) Zener diode packaged in a space saving ULTRAmini SOT-363 surface mount case. This new device is the World's first TC Zener in a plastic surface mount package. Utilizing a new proprietary process technique, the CMKTC825A provides a highly stable reference voltage of 6.2V with only a small change of less than 0.28mV/°C over the temperature range of -55°C to +100°C. This is a considerable improvement compared to a standard Zener diode, which typically exhibits a voltage change of 500mV over the same temperature range, In addition, the CMKTC825A occupies only 4.2mm² of circuit board space and has a low profile of 1.0mm.

Designed for applications requiring extremely stable voltage reference over temperature, the CMKTC825A is ideal for use in high stability oscillators, digital volt/frequency meters, analog-to-digital converters, and precision DC power supplies. End products for this device include test equipment, consumer electronics, and industrial equipment.

The CMKTC825A is available Bulk Packed or 3,000 pcs on 7" Tape and Reel. Prices for CMKTC825A start at $0.36 each for 3,000 pcs on a 7" reel. Sample devices are available upon request.
