THANK YOU FOR SUBSCRIBING
With the inclusion of Digi-Key, Helix Semiconductors’ MxC 200 DC-DC Power ICs will be distributed globally.
FREMONT, CA: In order to distribute its products globally, Helix Semiconductors, a fabless power semiconductor company, entered into a worldwide distribution agreement with Digi-Key Electronics, a global electronic component marketer. Following the terms of the settlement, Digi-Key will distribute Helix Semiconductors’ capacitor MxC 200 family of highly-efficient 15W DC-DC powered configurable integrated circuits (ICs) globally.
The upgraded MxC 200 family consists of several personalized, monolithic MuxCapacitor DC-DC converter integrated circuits. The high-voltage MuxCapacitor can be utilized in isolated as well as non-isolated converter applications. Furthermore, with input power ranging from 12 volts to 48 volts, the MxC 200 can efficiently convert selectable low range voltages. MxC 200 has the potential to reshape the industry, but the limitations to distribution were bound to make situations challenging, however, with the integration of Digi-Key, barriers will be eliminated.

According to Harold A. Blomquist, president, and CEO of Helix Semiconductors, “While magnetic-based power supplies have much less than 80 percent efficiency declining rapidly toward zero with lighter loads, MuxCap-enabled power supplies maintain efficiency well above 90 percent at light loads.”
The unprecedented level of effectiveness of the MxC 200 compelled experts of Digi-Key to invest in distributing this innovative technology throughout the developing landscapes. Nick D. Olson, Manager, semiconductor products, Digi-Key, said, “Their products and innovations in the world of power management are true game changers and welcome additions to our product offering.”
Currently, Helix Semiconductors is selling its MxC 200 series via the Digi-Key platform for immediate shipment. By including Helix Semiconductors as one of the latest additions to supplying partner, Digi-Key will spread a wide variety of products such as machine vision security cameras, wireless access points, IoT gateways, and VoIP phones throughout the industrial ecosystem.
Helix Semiconductors was recognized by StartupCity Magazine as one of the “15 Most Promising CleanTech Startups” in April 2019.
