Using ideal diodes for reverse battery and current protection. An overview from Texas Instruments of ideal diode functions and applications.

LASER COMPONENTS is a reliable manufacturer of both ultrafast pulsed laser diodes and highly-sensitive avalanche photodiodes, thus covering both key technologies of high-performance LiDAR systems. Carmakers and other companies all over the world are currently working hard to bring the idea of self-driving cars to the 5th level.

ROHM has announced the development of ultra-compact 1.6x1.6mm size MOSFETs that deliver superior mounting reliability. The RV4xxx series is AEC-Q101 qualified, ensuring automotive-grade reliability and performance under extreme conditions. ROHM’s original package processing technology enables the miniaturisation of automotive components, such as ADAS camera modules, that demand high quality.

The STMicroelectronics STDRIVE601 three-phase gate driver for 600V N-channel power MOSFETs and IGBTs provides ruggedness against negative voltage spikes down to -100V and responds to logic inputs in a class-leading 85ns.

Diodes Incorporated has announced a new addition to its family of low voltage level translators, offering simple and autonomous bidirectional operation. ThePI4GTL2002is a 2-bit level shifter designed to translate signals conditioned for one voltage level to signals at a higher or lower voltage, such as Gunner Transceiver Logic (GTL) or GTL+ to LVTTL/TTL.

Adding to its portfolio of short wavelength ultraviolet (UVC) emitting diodes Vishay Intertechnology has launched a compact SMD device for sterilisation, sanitation, and purification applications. Designed to replace mercury UVC lamps, the Vishay Semiconductors VLMU35CL..-280-120 delivers a long lifetime in a 3.5mm by 3.5mm by 1.2mm surface-mount package with a quartz window that eliminates the need for an external lens.

The display market today is worth $120bn, primarily driven by smartphones and TVs. Over the next few years, annual display production will reach around a quarter of a million square metres, with most additional LCD capacity coming from the construction of new ‘Generation 10.5’ display fabs.

Torex Semiconductor has launched the XBP141P as new series of TVS. TheXBP141P is mounted adjacent to an external interface and protects an IC installed in a subsequent stage from static discharge.Since the pin capacitance is as small as 0.8pF, it is possible to be used on high speed signal lines and they are suitable for line protection of USB3.0 and other lines. Furthermore, four TVS diodes are in a compact DFN2510-10A (2.5 x 1.0 x h0.55mm Heigh...

Discrete solutions can be used to implement input power protection, but they come with trade-offs. Adding in necessary protection features using discrete components takes up a lot of space and contributes to poor thermal performance.

The evolution of diode laser price and performance is rapidly opening new markets. In this article, the technology consulting firm IDTechEx Research demonstrate how advances in semiconductor laser technology enable novel applications in laser material processing and industrial manufacturing.
