Now shipping in volume production, the 18SCT005 enables design engineers to replace bulky, high-voltage resistors with a monolithic, low-cost IC

SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

APEC 2026 — In booth 2218, SimpleChips Technology Inc., a global provider of analog and mixed-signal application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) for automotive, medical, industrial and aerospace applications, today announced the availability of the 18SCT005, the industry’s first 1200V high-voltage monitor IC. With superior output accuracy of 0.7%, this monolithic IC is ideal for a variety of applications, including automotive EV powertrain and inverters, cardiac defibrillators, and industrial high-voltage sensing. It integrates high-voltage capability up to +/-1200V, a 1KHz low-pass filter and a voltage buffer into a very small TSSOP8 4.4mm package.

“Not only is the 18SCT005 the first of its kind, but it’s also the only chip in the world capable of this level of performance,” says Alain Comeau, CEO and CTO of SimpleChips. “This single-chip solution replaces bulky resistors, avoiding the expensive and time-consuming task of temperature coefficient matching, while also integrating discrete components that typically take up valuable board space. It is a low-cost, space-saving and very efficient solution for the fast-growing high-voltage market.”
