KAWASAKI, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 23, 2025--
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.

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.

ROME (AP) — Italy's soccer federation president resigned amid political pressure on Thursday, two days after the national team failed to qualify for a third consecutive World Cup.
Gabriele Gravina's decision will likely lead to the ouster of Italy coach Gennaro Gattuso, too.
Italy Sports Minister Andrea Abodi called for a change in the country’s soccer leadership after Gravina oversaw two sets of disappointing World Cup qualifiers.
“It’s evident to everyone that Italian soccer needs to be overhauled,” Abodi said on Wednesday, “and that process needs to start with new leadership at the FIGC (federation).”
Italy’s chances of reaching this year’s tournament in North America ended on Tuesday after a penalty shootout loss to Bosnia and Herzegovina in a qualifying playoff.
Gravina took charge of the federation in 2018 replacing Carlo Tavecchio, who also stepped down after Italy failed to reach that year’s World Cup.
The defeat to Bosnia added more misery for four-time champion Italy after being eliminated by Sweden and North Macedonia, respectively, in the qualifying playoffs for the last two World Cups.
Italy’s World Cup struggles go back all the way to 2010 and 2014 when it failed to advance from its group on both occasions.
The Azzurri’s last World Cup knockout match was in 2006 when they won the title by beating France in the final after a penalty shootout.
Gravina did oversee Italy’s European Championship trophy in 2021.
“Soccer has been in trouble since 2006,” Italian coaches association president Renzo Ulivieri said.
Players’ association president Umberto Calcagno said new regulations promoting the use of more Italian players in Serie A were necessary: “A rapid change needs to be made."
An election was called for June 22 to elect a new FIGC president.
Gravina also announced that he would attend a hearing in Italy’s parliament next Wednesday to discuss “the wellbeing of Italian soccer.”
Gattuso took over from the fired Luciano Spalletti in June with the squad already in crisis mode following a defeat at Norway in its opening qualifier.
The Azzurri then went on a six-match winning streak before losing again to Norway in November to finish second in their group and end up in the playoffs again.
Among those being mentioned to replace Gattuso are Roberto Mancini, Simone Inzaghi, Antonio Conte and Massimiliano Allegri.
Mancini coached Italy to the European Championship title in 2021 then failed to get the Azzurri to the next year’s World Cup before bolting to take over Saudi Arabia’s national team.
Inzaghi coached Inter Milan to the Serie A title in 2024 and now manages Saudi club Al-Hilal.
Conte coached Italy at the 2016 European Championship and is currently at Napoli.
Allegri is at AC Milan.
Gravina is also Aleksander Ceferin’s top vice president at UEFA.
UEFA statutes require that executive committee members are also senior FA officials but Gravina could stay in the UEFA role as a lame duck as long as the FIGC’s new leadership doesn’t demand his removal.
Gravina was re-elected last year by UEFA so he has three more years in his current term.
“Gabriele is my first vice president and is very important to me,” Ceferin said in Thursday’s Gazzetta dello Sport after attending the playoff in Bosnia.
Besides revitalizing the national team, whoever replaces Gravina will be tasked with getting Italy’s dilapidated stadiums ready to host the 2032 European Championship.
Italy is slated to co-host Euro 2032 with Turkey.
“I hope that the infrastructure is ready,” Ceferin said. “Otherwise the tournament won’t be played in Italy.”
