Tiny transistors from Diodes Incorporated aid product miniaturisation
In the ultra-small DFN1411-3 surface mount package, 20V NPN and PNP bipolar transistors announced by Diodes Incorporated deliver a dramatic increase in the power density and efficiency of power management circuits. The transistors have been designed on Diodes' Generation 5 matrix emitter Bipolar process.
Diodes launches miniature SOT963 packaged devices for ultra portable electronics
Diodes incorporated has introduced bipolar transistor, MOSFET and TVS devices in the ultra small SOT963 package, achieving the same or better performance of much larger packaged parts.
Integrated Relay Driver from Diodes Incorporated Optimizes Inductive Load Control
By integrating a complete solid-state relay driver into a single, surface-mount package, DRDC3105 from Diodes Incorporated minimizes the PCB footprint, reduces the component count and improves the reliability of inductive load control circuits. Providing a rugged interface between standard logic and 3V to 6V DC inductive loads, the relay driver is designed to handle relays, solenoids, incandescent lamps and small motors in a wide range of applica...
Semiconductor Industry Leaders Form DA5 Consortium to Explore Lead-Free Solutions
Bosch (Division Automotive Electronics), Freescale Semiconductor, Infineon Technologies, NXP Semiconductors and STMicroelectronics today announced that they have formed a consortium to jointly investigate and standardize the acceptance of alternatives for high-lead solder for attaching die to semiconductor packages during manufacturing. The five company consortium is known as the DA5 (Die Attach 5).
Highly accurate, 8-channel temperature sensor reduces board area
Maxim introduced the MAX6581, a ±1 degree Celsius accurate, 8-channel temperature sensor. It has seven remote sensing channels to monitor ASICs, FPGAs, CPUs, and boards with multiple hot spots. Each remote channel includes series resistance cancellation and beta compensation for best accuracy. Because the MAX6581 contains eight channels of temperature sensing, but requires only a single I2C address for these eight channels, it reduces board area...
MAX16839: High-input-voltage, linear 100mA HB LED driver provides fault output and multichip interoperability for automotive lighting
Maxim has announced the MAX16839, a low-cost, high-input-voltage linear HB (high-brightness) LED driver capable of delivering up to 100mA. This device minimizes external component count by integrating a pass element and fault detection. In addition, it allows interoperability of multiple drivers in multistring applications. With its wide input-voltage range (5V to 40V), the MAX16839 provides a cost-effective solution for automotive tail-light, si...
PowerDI5 bipolars from Diodes Incorporated bring big space savings
Diodes Incorporated has announced its first transistor products in its miniature PowerDI5 surface mount package. Designed on the company's 5th generation matrix emitter process, a range of 12 NPN and PNP transistors has initially been released, helping designers to significantly raise power densities and shrink solution size.
1A Synchronous Buck Regulator for Portables
Semtech has announced the SC194A, a highly integrated 1A DC-DC step-down (buck) regulator with the small size and output flexibility needed for portable device applications. The SC194A has an input voltage range from 2.7V to 5.5V with a focus on portable applications that use Li-ion batteries. The device uses two programming pins to allow users to set the output voltage to 1.0V, 1.2V, 1.5V or 1.8V. These pins can be hard-wired to set a constan...
