Diodes Incorporated’s Miniature High-Speed Switching Diodes Reduce PCB Size

Suitable for mobile handsets, tablets and notebooks, where light weight, slim product design is essential, these single, dual and dual-dual (both series and common cathode) diode configurations will handle a variety of functions including AC signal rectification, data line protection, reverse battery protection and DC/DC conversion.

The switching diodes’ total capacitance performance, ranging from just 2pF up to 4pF, ensures that distortion or degradation of high bandwidth input signals is minimized, while a breakdown voltage of up to 85V means that the diodes will handle the most severe switching circuit transient spikes.

Devices are priced from $0.04 USD each in 10k quantities for the 1N4448WSF single 75V diode in SOD323F through to $0.09 USD each in 10K quantities for the BAV99BRLP dual-dual 75V diode array in DFN2020-6.
