The Zetex ZXCZM800 multi-channel DAC and digital preamplifier from Diodes Incorporated is playing a key role in the world's first demonstration of the THX Big Room audio concept at CEDIA Expo 2009 in Atlanta USA. A new product design and certification concept introduced by THX Ltd., Big Room aims to bring professional audio quality and performance to prosumer amplifiers, pre-amplifiers and loud speakers used in large, multi-row media rooms and h...

Diodes Incorporated has extended its MOSFET offering with the introduction of 15 devices tailored to the needs of LCD TV and monitor backlighting. Provided in industry standard TO252 and SO8 packaging, the MOSFETs deliver the high power handling and fast switching required by high efficiency CCFL drive architectures.

Expanding on the AP21x1/x2 family, the AP21x6 family of dual USB power switches are said to offer a reduced footprint, improved switch on-resistance and better power dissipation than competing devices. These integrated high-side power switches are optimized for self-powered and bus-powered Universal Serial Bus (USB) and other hot-swap applications.

Diodes Incorporated has put a complementary pair of 100V enhancement mode MOSFETs into an SO8 package achieving the same performance of much larger individually packaged parts. The ZXMC10A816 is aimed at H-bridge circuits in DC fan and inverter circuits, Class D amplifier output stages and an array of other 48V applications.

A range of four H-bridge MOSFET packages from Diodes Incorporated is set to simplify DC fan and CCFL inverter circuits, by reducing both component count and PCB size in space constrained applications.

Diodes Incorporated has introduced an 8 channel DAC and pre-amplifier chip offering designers of audio video receivers and add-on sound cards the opportunity to reduce component costs while at the same time improving audio performance. Part of the Zetex Direct Digital Feedback Amplifier product line, the ZXCZM800 will dramatically reduce circuit complexity, and in high performance differential mode, will deliver a dynamic range (DNR) as high as...

Diodes Incorporated has announced a miniature current monitor delivering what it says is the world’s smallest solution size for battery current measurement in portable applications. Packaged in the thin 4-pin 1.2mm x 1.8mm DFN package, the ZXCT1023 will support system management functions aimed at extending active run times.

For charging and switching applications in portable devices, Diodes Incorporated has introduced dual device combinations in thermally efficient ultra small DFN packaging. The DMS2220LFDB and DMS2120LFWB co-package a 20V P-channel enhancement mode MOSFET with a companion diode in a choice of 2mmx2mm DFN2020 and 3mmx2mm DFN3020 packages. The DMP2160UFDB, co-packages two of the same MOSFETs in the DFN2020 format.

Diodes Incorporated has introduced the first in a series of high voltage Super Barrier Rectifiers (SBR) packaged in the thermally efficient, compact PowerDI5 package. The superior thermal resistance of the proprietary PowerDI5 package enables the SBR10U200P5 to deliver twice the power density from a PCB footprint that is 40% percent smaller.

Diodes has introduced a family of LED driver ICs capable of significantly reducing the number and size of external components required by drive circuits. The AP880X step-down dc-dc converters need the support of just four components and by operating at switching frequencies up to 600kHz, enable the use of smaller and lower cost inductors and capacitors.

Diodes Incorporated has announced an active OR’ing controller chip enabling shared power system designers to replace heat-dissipating blocking diodes with high efficiency MOSFETs. As a result, in up-time critical telecom, server and mainframe applications, the ZXGD3102 will ensure cooler running, lower maintenance and higher reliability operation.

Diodes Incorporated has introduced two low voltage Omnipolar parts that substantially reduce power consumption in battery-powered, hand-held devices and dramatically simplify production processes. Uses include contact-less lid or display orientation and position detection tasks in notebooks, mobile phones, digital still cameras and camcorders.

Networked audio reproduction and active loudspeakers are just two of the application areas featuring in a comprehensive ‘proof of concept’ showcase for the Zetex Direct Digital Feedback Amplifier (DDFA) technology at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show.

Adding to its IntelliFET product range, Diodes Incorporated has introduced what it says is the world’s smallest fully self protected low side MOSFET. Packaged in the 2.3mm x 2.8mm footprint ‘flat’ SOT23F package, the ZXMS6004FF takes 85% less board space than incumbent 7.3mm x 6.7mm footprint SOT223 packaged parts.

Diodes Incorporated has introduced a single chip solution providing all the functionality required for driving low power single coil brushless DC fans and motors. The AH5792 integrates a Hall sensor and amplifier, complete digital control circuitry and a full bridge output driver in the low profile SOT553 package and will appeal in particular to low voltage micro-motors and ultra thin cooling fan applications.

Diodes Incorporated won the Environmental Award at the annual Elektra Awards held in Munich on the eve of Electronica 2008. Now in their sixth year, the Elektra Awards are regarded as the most prestigious electronic product, technology and business awards in Europe and recognise the achievements of individuals and companies throughout the European Electronics industry.
