Torex Semiconductor Develops XC8115/XC8116 Series Multi-Function Load Switch ICs With Zero Current Consumption Torex Semiconductor Ltd. 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.

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of German stocks, typically moving 9.0% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 48% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite being loss-making. Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (9.0% average weekly change). Reported Earnings • May 20
Full year 2026 earnings released: EPS: JP¥109 (vs JP¥215 loss in FY 2025) Full year 2026 results: EPS: JP¥109 (up from JP¥215 loss in FY 2025). Revenue: JP¥25.1b (up 4.7% from FY 2025). Net income: JP¥1.16b (up JP¥3.52b from FY 2025). Profit margin: 4.6% (up from net loss in FY 2025). The move to profitability was primarily driven by lower expenses. Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has fallen by 21% per year but the company’s share price has only fallen by 2% per year, which means it has not declined as severely as earnings.

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: €91.6m (US$96.5m) This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Paying a dividend despite being loss-making. Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Earnings have declined by 19% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Market cap is less than US$100m (€91.6m market cap, or US$96.5m).
