Yahoo Finance Vishay (VSH) Boosts Optoelectronics Portfolio With IR Emitters
Vishay Intertechnology VSH recently launched eight new 850 nm and 940 nm high-power infrared (IR) emitters in a bid to boost its optoelectronics offerings.
These AEC-Q102 qualified emitters, featuring a double-stack chip, offer high radiant intensity of up to 6000 mW/sr at 5 A pulse current and 2000 mW/sr at 1.5 A DC current, low thermal resistance, and reduce costs and space by occupying a 20% smaller footprint.
These IR emitters operate at a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and have high ESD immunity and a 168-hour floor life.
Vishay is expected to gain solid traction across ADAS, driver and cabin monitoring systems, eye tracking, CCTV, and automotive applications on the back of its latest launch.
Moreover, these IR emitters will strengthen Vishay’s foothold in the global IR-emitter market, presenting a significant growth opportunity for the company. Per a Research and Markets report, the global IR-emitter market is expected to witness a CAGR of 7.6% between 2024 and 2030.

Strengthening Optoelectronics Portfolio
Apart from these IR emitters, the company recently launched VOIH72A, a new single-channel 25 MBd optocoupler featuring a CMOS logic digital input and output interface, low pulse width distortion, two mA maximum supply current, wide voltage range, and high-temperature operation up to +110°C.
The company also upgraded TFBS4xx and TFDU4xx IR transceiver modules with its in-house integrated circuit (IC) and surface emitter chip technology. The IR modules incorporate a PIN photodiode, infrared emitter and low power control IC, offering 20% longer link distance and improved ESD robustness to 2 kV for IrDA applications.
Vishay also introduced three new IR sensor modules, TSMP95000, TSMP96000 and TSMP98000, designed for remote control systems. It boasts features like pin-to-pin compatible replacements, wider supply voltage range, smaller bandwidth for better noise strength, higher ESD withstand capability and robust performance under strong DC light.
Earlier, the company launched VEMD2074, a high-speed silicon PIN photodiode with enhanced sensitivity for visible light, offering fast switching times of 70 ns and low capacitance for precise signal detection in wearable devices.
Conclusion
All the above-mentioned endeavors are expected to strengthen the company’s optoelectronics offerings and will likely aid Vishay in capitalizing on growth opportunities present in the global optoelectronics market.
