Crispr Therapeutics shares tumble after significant earnings miss
MALVERN, Pa. - Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE:VSH), a $2.3 billion market cap semiconductor manufacturer with annual revenues of $2.9 billion, has announced an upgrade to its VSOP383xx series preamplifier circuits, launching the new Cyllene 2 IC for infrared remote control applications. The improved components are designed for consumer products such as televisions, soundbars, and gaming systems. According to InvestingPro analysis, while the company faces current profitability challenges, analysts expect a return to profitability this year.
The upgraded preamplifiers, which come in a compact 2 mm by 2 mm by 0.76 mm QFN package, offer a wider supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 5.5 V and boast a 37% increase in dark-ambient sensitivity. They also provide enhanced performance under conditions of strong DC light and Wi-Fi noise, which increases their robustness in various environments. This makes them particularly well-suited for outdoor use or placement near Wi-Fi antennas.
A notable feature of these devices is their low current consumption across the broader voltage range, which contributes to extended battery life and space-saving in mobile devices. As direct replacements for existing series devices, they require no printed circuit board (PCB) redesigns, thereby saving costs for manufacturers.
The VSOP383xx series, available with carrier frequencies of 36 kHz and 38 kHz, is now more resistant to disturbances from different lighting sources and exhibits high immunity to ripple noise on the supply voltage. This improved immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) from 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies ensures fewer unwanted output pulses, enhancing the user experience with remote controls.
Vishay’s commitment to long-term product availability is reflected in the use of its latest in-house IC technology, which also aims to reduce lead times for customers. The preamplifier circuits are RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and adhere to Vishay’s Green standards. The company’s financial stability is evidenced by its strong liquidity position, with InvestingPro data showing a healthy current ratio of 2.7x, indicating robust ability to meet short-term obligations.
Samples and production quantities of the new preamplifier circuits are currently available, with an estimated lead time of four to six weeks. Vishay Intertechnology, a Fortune 1000 company, is recognized for having one of the world’s largest portfolios of discrete semiconductors and passive electronic components. The company has maintained consistent dividend payments for 12 consecutive years, currently offering a 2.4% yield.
