TOREX USA

What TOREX USA does

TOREX USA Corp. is the US subsidiary of Japanese power management semiconductor company Torex Semiconductor Ltd., headquartered in Irvine, California, and operating as the regional sales, technical-support, and logistics arm for the North American market. The company sells a broad portfolio of analog power management ICs and discrete components — DC/DC converters (step-down, step-up, multi-channel, backlight drivers), Micro DC/DC converters with integrated coils, LDO voltage regulators, load switches with ideal-diode function, voltage supervisors/detectors, battery chargers, MOSFETs, Schottky and SiC diodes, charge pumps, and multi-chip modules — into industrial electronics, IoT and wearables, smartcard/access-control, power-supply/energy, and automotive applications.

Product differentiation rests on proprietary analog IP and packaging: the HiSAT-COT constant-on-time control architecture for fast transient response, SiCkrest bonded SiC substrate technology developed with Sicoxs and fabricated in-house by wholly-owned subsidiary Phenitec Semiconductor, integrated-coil Micro DC/DC modules in ultra-low-profile packages (down to 0.33mm height), the COOLPOST copper-bumped DFN3030-10B package for thermal management, and the VSET output-voltage-select function for dynamic battery-life optimization. Quantified performance claims include 200nA quiescent current, >80% efficiency at 0.01mA load, 96.5% efficiency on the XM981A 48V-to-12V charge pump module, and 650V SiC Schottky diodes with up to 92A surge tolerance.

Revenue is generated through hardware sales of semiconductor components via an authorized distributor and representative network across the United States, with quote-based pricing for OEM and industrial customers. Sales-enablement tools include online sample requests, brochure downloads, a comprehensive technical library (application notes, technology-corner articles, brochures, product overviews), newsletter subscriptions, and a LinkedIn corporate presence. Strategic partnerships with Fujikura and NGK Insulators support reference designs for wirelessly-chargeable smartcards, while the June 2026 launch of the TOREX LONGEVITY PROGRAM (TLP) introduces a 10-year supply guarantee for selected ICs targeting long-lifecycle industrial and automotive customers.
