TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 21, 2026--
Torex Semiconductor Ltd. (TOKYO Prime: 6616) has developed the XC8115/XC8116 Series, multifunction load switch ICs that achieve 0µA current consumption. Featuring ultra-low power consumption, saving space, operation up to 105°C, and functions required for power sequence control, these multifunction load switch ICs are easy to use across a wide range of applications, including industrial equipment and consumer electronics.

The most significant feature of the XC8115/XC8116 Series is its ability to dramatically reduce power consumption by achieving 0µA operating current during both active operation and standby mode. This makes the devices ideal for applications requiring minimal power loss, such as battery-powered equipment using small batteries and energy harvesting systems.
In addition, the ICs operate without requiring input or output capacitors, enabling standalone operation and contributing to space-saving PCB designs.
Power line ON/OFF control is typically implemented using multiple discrete components. By using the XC8115/XC8116 Series, designers can build compact ON/OFF circuits while maintaining 0µA current consumption. The XC8115/XC8116 Series incorporates application-specific functions such as externally adjustable soft-start time, CL discharge for rapid output capacitor discharge (XC8115), and reverse current blocking during the OFF state (XC8116).
The XC8115 features externally adjustable soft-start and CL discharge functions, making it suitable for power sequence control required by FPGAs and MCUs.
The XC8116 incorporates a reverse current blocking function when the switch is turned OFF, making it suitable for applications such as preventing reverse current to a backup power supply in backup power circuits. The device is available in both EN (active-high) and ENB (active-low) versions, allowing two power supply lines to be switched using a single control signal. This enables compact power multiplexer circuit designs.
Both the XC8115 and XC8116 allow the soft-start time to be externally adjusted with a capacitor. This feature helps suppress inrush current and prevent voltage drops during startup, particularly in applications using high-impedance power sources such as coin-cell batteries.
For circuit protection, both devices incorporate short-circuit protection and thermal shutdown (over-temperature protection), ensuring safe operation by protecting the circuit when a short circuit occurs on the load side.
The devices are available in the compact, low-profile DFN1515-6A package (1.5 × 1.5 × 0.38 mm) as well as the highly mountable SOT-25 package. They are suitable for applications ranging from compact electronic devices requiring high-density PCB layouts to industrial equipment demanding high mounting reliability.

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) — Wyndham Clark couldn't remember being in a darker place. He was publicly reviled for a moment of petulance when he smashed a locker at Oakmont after missing the cut in the U.S. Open last year. His game, his reputation, he felt it all was slipping away.
Sunday at Shinnecock Hills wasn't much better. The New York crowd behind Scottie Scheffler in his bid for a career Grand Slam turned on Clark, cheering his misses and wishing for the worst.
That's what made this U.S. Open title so much sweeter.
On the edge of the greatest collapse in U.S. Open history, Clark held his nerve against a charge by Sam Burns and a Shinnecock Hills crowd that never gave him much love until he showed his mettle with his second U.S. Open title in four years.
“The first one was kind of just the breakthrough of knowing I can do it,” Clark said after a two-putt par from 50 feet for a 3-over 73 and a one-shot victory. “And then this one was a lot of redemption. Last year was so tough, a terrible year. I left this place in shambles, and it’s amazing what a year can do. I’m leaving here this Sunday as a champion, and I’m just so blessed.”
Clark, who won the 2023 U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club, became the first wire-to-wire winner of the U.S. Open since Martin Kaymer at Pinehurst No. 2 in 2014.
This sure didn't feel like a stroll through the Hamptons.
He had the largest 54-hole lead in the U.S. Open in 15 years. It was down to a single shot in just five holes, and stress followed him the rest of the way.
The clincher for Clark was on the par-5 16th, where on Saturday he made the only eagle of the week. This time it was his worst drive, well left into the gnarly fescue. He gouged that out and narrowly cleared a bunker. His 8-iron barely stayed on the back of the green. He rolled in a 30-foot birdie putt for a two-shot lead with holes to play.
It was a signature moment with muted applause. The gallery rooted against him all day, putting all their support behind Scheffler, who made his own share of mistakes and never got closer than three shots of Clark all day.
“Winning major championships is extremely difficult,” Scheffler said after a 71 to tie for fourth. “He had some stones down the stretch. ... Being in the arena is not for everybody, and I think it shows a lot about Wyndham, how he handled not only this golf course but I think the crowd today. And he is a well-deserving champion.”
Clark had the highest final round of a U.S. Open champion since Graeme McDowell closed with a 74 to win at Pebble Beach. No matter. The 32-year-old American has two U.S. Open titles, and two wins in the last month.
Burns closed with a 67, his second chance in as many years to win the U.S. Open. He bounced back from a three-putt bogey on the 15th with a an 18-foot birdie to stay within one shot. He made a weak pass at a 10-foot birdie putt to tie for the lead on the 17th. What haunts him is a 17-foot birdie chance on the 18th that grazed the right edge of the cup, causing him to drop to his knees.
“I would say last year at Oakmont I felt more I lost the golf tournament. I certainly don’t feel that way today,” Burn said. “I did everything I could to have a chance to win today.”
Clark finished at 4-under 276 and got a surprise at the end when his father, Randall, took an overnight flight from Denver to watch his son win for the first time.
Even the New York crowd had no choice but to salute him.
“New York didn't really like me — I love you guys,” Clark said at the closing ceremony, hoisting the silver trophy. “But I get it. Some of it’s self-deserved. I did some unfortunate things last year that I really regret, and I’ve been sorry multiple times and I’m still sorry, so hopefully I can win you guys over eventually."
Clark noticed fans leaving early on Saturday and hoped for a big crowd and big energy for the final round. He got every bit of that, and it was uncomfortable at times. One was ejected when he shouted, “Don't choke, Wyndham.” The grandstand behind the seventh green broke into cheers when his shot rolled off the green and into the bunker.
“I get it — they were rooting for Scottie,” Clark said. “Grand Slams only happen a few times. He’s going to get it. He’s the best player in the world. But today it’s my day.”
It almost wasn't.
But Burns never caught caught him. No one did.
Tom Kim, who like Scheffler celebrated a birthday on Sunday, was on the fringes of seriously contending until he fell back with a bogey on the 17th and shot 70 to finish third.
Clark's hit a superb wedge that spun back to 4 feet for birdie on the 10th to restore the lead to two shots. But then he went long on the 13th with a pitching wedge and couldn't save par. And then came his big moment on the 16th, and one last act of lagging a 50-foot putt to tap-in range.
That's how it was at Los Angeles in 2023, when he needed two putts from 60 feet and lagged it close. Clark simply is at his best against tough tests, and rough arenas. Three years ago, he denied Rory McIlroy. This time it was Scheffler.
“The first one was amazing, and this one seems even better,” Clark said. “I think especially after such a sour taste last year in this championship, to have some redemption and win this again is almost surreal.”
A month ago, he was two years without a win and No. 75 in the world. Then he shot 60 in the final round to win The CJ Cup, contended the next two weeks and won his second major. It moves him to No. 8 in the world.
The smile he wore holding that U.S. Open trophy would suggest he feels on top of the world.
