Offering superior protection for charging one- and two-cell lithium batteries, a bi-directional MOSFET has been introduced by Diodes Incorporated. The DMN2023UCB4's low RDS(ON) reduces power while its thin chip-scale packaging saves space to allow increased battery capacity in consumer applications where size, weight and battery life are critical, such as smartphones, tablets, cameras and portable media players.

Claimed to be the world’s first DFN0606-packaged NPN and PNP devices, Diodes Incorporated has announced four transistors which occupy a board space of only 0.36mm2 with an off-board height of only 0.4mm. The devices are suited for wearables, such as smart watches, as well as other space-constrained consumer products, such as smartphones and tablets.

Featuring 1.2W maximum power dissipation, excellent 20ppm/°C temperature stability and high power-supply rejection ratio, a constant current linear LED driver has been introduced by Diodes Incorporated. The AL5809 delivers LED currents with a ±5% tolerance over a -40 to +125°C temperature range, simplifying solutions for LED signage, LED strip lighting and low-current retrofit lamps.

Designed to control the high-current power MOSFETs used in on-board and embedded power supplies and motor drive circuits, a pair of compact 40V, 1A-rated gate drivers have been introduced by Diodes Incorporated. The ZXGD3009E6 and ZXGD3009DY help MOSFETs to be more rapidly and fully switched on and off, minimise switching losses, improve power density and increase overall conversion efficiency.

Providing simple and cost-effective soft-start functionality to improve 3.3 and 5V system power reliability in notebooks, tablets and datacomms, the 5V dual-channel AP22966 load switch has been announced by Diodes Incorporated. With fully adjustable output slew rates set via ground-connected external capacitors on its soft-start inputs, the device’s two N-channel MOSFET outputs can be independently controlled.

A programmable op-amp which offers a bias-select mode, enabling closer matching of power dissipation and AC performance with the specific requirements of battery-powered consumer and industrial products, has been introduced by Diodes Incorporated. The op-amp is the company’s own version of the TLC271.

Aimed at improving reliability of Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) in telecomms, data centers and server duties, Diodes Incorporated has introduced a 40V-rated active OR’ing controller. The ZXGD3108N8 is designed to enhance very low RDS(ON) power MOSFETs, enabling lossy Schottky blocking diodes to be replaced and resulting in a lowered operating temperature and increased UPS system integrity.

For low output voltage power regulation in digital TV, monitor and other high density, fast changing point-of-load system architectures, Diodes has introduced a series of synchronous buck converters. Employing adaptive constant on-time (AdCOT) control, the AP65450, AP65452 and AP65552 ensure high DC output accuracy, high efficiency and fast transient response.

Designed to meet the demands of wireless and DSL modem applications, the PAM2322AGEAR dual PWM step-down DC/DC converter has been released by Diodes Incorporated. Maximising portable device battery life, the device’s pulse-skipping mode enables a reduction in quiescent current under light load operation.

Suitable for equipment in which space in limited, a pair of single-phase fan motor drivers have been introduced by Diodes Incorporated. The AH5772 and AH5773 all-in-one, 12V drivers offer a high level of integration, miniature package options and thermal handling, enabling a reduction in component count and PCB area.
