​Toshiba Releases High-Speed Response, Full Input/Output Range CMOS Dual Comparator Suitable for Overcurrent Detection in Industrial Equipment

 

Toshiba: TC75W71FU, a CMOS dual comparator that features a high-speed response and a full input/output range (Rail to Rail).

KAWASAKI, Japan, Dec 24 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has launched a CMOS dual comparator, "TC75W71FU." It features a high-speed response and a full input/output range (Rail to Rail), suiting it for use in overcurrent detection in industrial equipment[1]. Shipments start today.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20251223600868/en/

 

Today’s industrial equipment uses large currents in motor drives and power circuits. This brings with it the risk of sudden overcurrent, which can damage equipment, shut down production line, and even reduce safety; its rapid detection and protection from it are essential. In the constant search for higher efficiency and product miniaturization, the range of current and voltages that circuits can support has narrowed, and even slight overcurrent can impose a significant load on the circuit. This increases the need for faster and more precise overcurrent detection technologies.

The new product offers a faster propagation delay than the current TC75W56FU, with a maximum of 45ns for low-to-high transitions and 30ns for high-to-low transitions[2]. This enables immediate equipment shutdown in overcurrent, enhancing operational safety.
The input/output voltage range supports the full range—operation from minimum (GND) to maximum (Vcc) supply voltage—making design easier. The minimum operating supply voltage, 1.8V, supports low-voltage operation. Since the new comparator also features a push-pull output[3], signal rise and fall times are fast, no external pull-up resistor is required, and a stable voltage level can be maintained.

In addition to TC75W71FU, TC75W72FU, which features added hysteresis for enhanced noise immunity, and TC75W73FU[4], which offers hysteresis and an open-drain output[5] capable of sending signals to voltage domains different from the comparator’s supply, are scheduled to start mass production in February 2026.

Toshiba will continue to develop comparators that contribute to improved safety and reliability of industrial equipment, and to expand the product lineup to meet a wide range of customer needs.

AM Best Revises Hong Kong’s Min Xin Insurance Outlook To Positive

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 22 (Bernama) -- Global credit rating agency, AM Best has revised the outlooks to positive from stable and affirmed the financial strength rating of B++ (Good) and a long-term issuer credit rating of “bbb+” (Good) of Hong Kong’s Min Xin Insurance Company Limited (MXIC).

In a statement, AM Best said these credit ratings (ratings) reflected MXIC’s strong balance sheet, adequate operating performance, limited business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management.

The revision of the outlooks is driven by expectations of stronger parental support over the intermediate term, including significant capital injections and profitable business expansions through group-related channels and risks.

MXIC is wholly owned by Min Xin Holdings Limited (MXHL), a Hong Kong–listed holding company, which is majority owned by Fujian Investment & Development Group Co Ltd (FIDG), a Chinese state-owned enterprise and the investment arm of the Fujian provincial government.

The credit rating agency believes MXIC’s parents have sufficient capability to provide the expected explicit and implicit support.

AM Best cited recent escalated capital injections and MXIC’s expansion into group-related business, including a newly established bancassurance partnership with an associated Hong Kong bank, as evidence of this support. The insurer is also exploring inward business opportunities linked to FIDG-related risks in mainland China.

MXIC’s balance sheet strength is underpinned by its strongest-ever risk-adjusted capitalisation level as of year-end 2024, as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio, supported by a healthy regulatory solvency position, good liquidity and appropriate reinsurance arrangements.

Operating performance remains adequate, with MXIC recording a net profit of HK$13.8 million in 2024 and a return on equity of 4.2 per cent, mainly driven by stable investment income, while underwriting profitability remains thin due to high expense ratios. (HK$100 = RM52.42)

Established in 1974, MXIC operates across Hong Kong and Macau’s non-life insurance markets, with around 60 per cent of premiums generated from Macau.

Fushi Technology Launches One-Stop Customer Loyalty Solution For Jumbo

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 19 (Bernama) -- Fushi Technology, an artificial intelligence (AI) services provider for merchants and consumers in Asia, has officially launched its customer relationship management (CRM) membership management product for Jumbo, a Singapore-founded seafood restaurant chain.

Fushi in a statement said the CRM product is built on its self-developed, all-in-one intelligent customer loyalty and marketing automation platform and is designed to strengthen Jumbo’s customer asset management, improve retention rates and enhance the overall dining experience.

The solution enables Jumbo, which has expanded its footprint to markets including China, Vietnam and Thailand, to integrate membership operations across multiple outlets, allowing diners to accumulate loyalty points and redeem rewards across venues.

By incorporating features and reward mechanisms such as integrated loyalty points, e-vouchers and mobile ordering, the CRM platform helps optimise the consumer journey from reservation to payment.

The deployment of the product reflects growing adoption of Software as a Service (SaaS) tools among food and beverage (F&B) operators seeking sustainable growth, while marking further market recognition for Fushi’s CRM offerings.

Fushi noted that Southeast Asia’s high mobile payment penetration presents strong opportunities for the F&B and retail sectors, even as merchants continue to face challenges including high customer acquisition costs, low conversion rates and difficulties in measuring marketing return on investment.

The company said its digital solutions are designed to help merchants shift their focus from traffic acquisition to maximising existing customer value, enabling more refined operations and long-term competitiveness.

AM Best Affirms Excellent Credit Ratings of Korean Reinsurance

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 16 (Bernama) -- Global credit rating agency, AM Best has affirmed the financial strength rating of A (Excellent) and the long-term issuer credit rating of “a+” (Excellent) of Korean Reinsurance Company (KRE).

The outlook for these credit ratings (ratings) is stable, reflecting KRE’s balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its adequate operating performance, favourable business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management.

As the dominant and only local reinsurer in South Korea, KRE’s risk-adjusted capitalisation is assessed comfortably at the strongest level, as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio, according to AM Best in a statement.

The credit rating agency expects the company to maintain its risk-adjusted capitalisation at an elevated level, supported by its controlled growth of underwriting risk through continued portfolio restructuring and a stable stream of income.

KRE’s strong solvency ratio and effective asset-liability management strengthen its resilience to changes in the business environment, such as interest rate fluctuations and regulatory changes, as well as provide a capital buffer for future business expansion.

AM Best assesses KRE’s operating performance as adequate, with a return-on-equity ratio of 9.4 per cent and a non-life combined ratio of 91.5 per cent. In 2024, its property/casualty lines recorded an improvement largely due to the absence of major natural catastrophes and large-scale claims in domestic and overseas markets.

While profitability in the life and health segment declined in 2024 due to valuation adjustments and higher claims, AM Best expects performance to improve following ongoing portfolio enhancements in domestic and overseas markets. Investment income is expected to remain robust, supported by a growing asset base and returns from alternative investments.

KRE was ranked as the seventh-largest IFRS 17 reporting reinsurer in the global reinsurance market in terms of gross insurance service revenue in 2024. Despite its ongoing portfolio restructuring in the domestic market, AM Best believes that KRE’s dominant market position will remain unchallenged over the medium term.
