Designed for 48V circuits in networking, telecomms and PoE equipment, Diodes Incorporated announce new space-saving package options for its ZXTR2000 series of high-voltage linear regulator transistors. Device inputs are actually tolerant up to a maximum of 100V, meaning all regulator transistors offer plenty of headroom in the event of transient over-voltage conditions.

Delivering significant space and weight savings to portable consumer electronic products, such as phones and tablets, Diodes Incorporated introduce two families of single-gate logic parts in one of the world’s smallest packages, DFN0808. The devices feature a 0.8mm square footprint and an off-board height of 0.35mm.

With a footprint measuring 1.6x1.6mm and a typical height of 0.5mm, Diodes Incorporated has introduced what they claim to be the world’s smallest 60V N-channel power MOSFET with an on-resistance of less than 100mΩ. The DMN6070SFCL helps achieve higher power densities in space-critical products, such as cellphones, ultra-thin LCD TVs and hand-held gaming controls.

The AP3440 is a PWM synchronous buck DC/DC converter suited for low-voltage, high-density power systems. Introduced by Diodes Incorporated, the converter's switching frequency is programmable from 0.2-2MHz, enabling a reduction in the size of external inductors and capacitors and simplification of power supply design.

Reducing component count and PCB size in 12 and 24V LED lighting systems and MR16-type LED lamps, the AL8807B is a dimmable buck LED driver from Diodes Incorporated. The hysteretic driver with an integrated power switch operates at a switching frequency of 1MHz and has an output current set using a single external sense resistor.

Designed to provide a high integrity supply for distributed high power architectures, a dual phase synchronous rectified buck controller has been announced by Diodes Incorporated. Delivering an output current of up to 60A with embedded bootstrapped drivers that support 12V+12V driver capability, the AP3595 ensures high efficiency power conversion.

A pair of synchronous DC/DC buck converters has been launched for use in applications such as monitors, TVs and STBs. The AP65500 and AP65400, from Diodes Inc, deliver continuous load currents of 5A and 4A respectively, peaking at 7A at an efficiency as high as 96%.

Designed as a drop-in replacement for alternative industry standard parts, the TLV271 is a single channel, rail-to-rail output op-amp from Diodes Inc.

Providing a fixed output of 5V (±2%), two high voltage linear regulators have been announced by Diodes Incorporated. Featuring a high drive capability of 50mA, the ZXTR1005K4 and ZXTR1005PD8 regulators are suitable for 48V DC power systems in applications such as telecom, networking and Power-over-Ethernet equipment.

  Reducing the component count in a variety of stereo speaker applications, such as PCs, docking stations and wireless speakers, Diodes Incorporated have released the PAM8407 Class D audio amplifier. This audio component can drive dual 4Ω speakers at 3W per channel from a 5V supply.

Extending the battery cell lifetime of a variety of hand-held consumer electronics (such as mobile/smartphones, e-book readers and tablets), the 74AUP2G family of CMOS logic devices are designed specifically for low voltage, low energy operation. This family of dual gate, advanced, ultra-low power CMOS logic devices has been announced by Diodes Incorporated.

A DC/DC controller providing a universal high-performance driver solution for a variety of mains-dimmable LED lamp designs, the AP1694, has been announced by Diodes Incorporated. Suitable for both 120V and 230V AC inputs, the controller uses Diodes’ patented PFM technology to tightly regulate LED current and achieve a high power factor and low total harmonic distortion.

Suitable for hot plug consumer and industrial products, including external disks, printers and servers, the NIS5132 resettable electronic fuse has been introduced by Diodes Incorporated. By protecting against shutdown and catastrophic failures, the fuse can significantly help to raise power system reliability.

A single-chip IC for driving single-coil reversible DC fans and motors has been introduced by Diodes. Designated the ZXBM5210, the IC reduces component counts and circuit footprints in medium and low power applications, and is available in a choice of SO8 and thermally enhanced SO8 exposed pad packages.

Operating at an efficiency of up 95%, the PAM8320 20W mono Class D audio amplifier has been announced today by Diodes Inc. Coming in a space-saving SOP16 exposed pad surface mount package, the PAM8320 eliminates the need for an external heatsink, saving system space and reducing BOM cost.

The new AP7340 low-dropout regulator from Diodes Inc is designed to provide a high-quality supply for analog circuits in noise-sensitive audio, video and RF applications due to a high PSRR of 75dB at 1kHz, and a low-noise performance of 60µVrms over the 10Hz to 100kHz range. Coming in a 1.0mm x 1.0mm DFN1010-4 package, the AP7340 suits the highest density portable product designs.

The new 74LV family of low voltage CMOS logic parts has today been unveiled by Diodes Inc. When comparing against legacy 74AHC and 74HC alternatives, the 74LV family offers speed and power advantages and are provided in a choice of 14-pin TSSOP and SOIC packages. The devices are ideal for use in a wide range of computing, networking and consumer electronic products.
