History

1992〜		*Photo for informational purposes only. Portable Cassette Player The XC61AN Series, using a nickel-hydrogen rechargeable battery, was introduced for use with portable cassette players. At the time, the ability to accurately detect the minimum 0.8 V needed to run the player was a highly requested feature, and our being able to meet this requirement made much longer playability possible.

		First Overseas Base Established in Singapore Following Torex's inception, even though battery-powered ultra-compact and low-consumption power ICs had a small market scale and market entrants were few, Torex founded an established base of business in Singapore within one year, ignoring the cautious theory of prematurity. This was the first step toward Torex's global reach today.
