Automotive-compliant level shifter address multiple applications with single part
Diodes Incorporated announced two flexible, high-speed automotive-compliant voltage translators for use in environments with ambient temperatures up to 125°C. The PI4ULS5V108Q and PI4ULS5V202Q are designed for use in advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), infotainment, and telematics equipment. Both devices are compatible with either push-pull or open-drain connections, delivering the convenience of a single part number to […]
High-side load switch operate from 1.4V to 5.5V with 2.0A max load current
Diodes Incorporated announced the introduction of the AP22913, a 2.0A single-channel, slew-rate-controlled load switch with true reverse current blocking (TRCB) for high-side load-switching applications. Single-channel high-side load switches provide an effective way of applying or removing power to a load, particularly to removable peripherals powered through a USB port. The large output capacitors (100µF) associated […]
Dual-channel flash LED driver support advanced camera flash and torch functionality
Diodes Incorporated announced the AL3644, a high-speed, dual-channel flash LED driver designed to support advanced camera flash and torch functionality, as offered by the latest smartphones and other portable consumer devices. Key features include independently controlled output currents configured through an I2C-compatible interface and the ability to combine two devices (with different device identification addresses) […]
Tiny automotive-compliant MOSFETs deliver increased power density
Diodes Incorporated announced the introduction of the 40V-rated DMTH4008LFDFWQ and 60V-rated DMTH6016LFDFWQ automotive-compliant MOSFETs packaged in DFN2020. These miniature MOSFETs occupy just 10% of the PCB area of larger packages, such as SOT223, enabling greater power density in DC-DC converters, LED backlighting, ADAS, and other ‘under-the-hood’ automotive applications. The DMTH4008LFDFWQ has a typical RDS(ON) of […]
Non-isolated buck switchers provide high-voltage AC-DC conversion with low standby current
Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIOD) today announced the AP3917 family of universal AC-DC, non-isolated buck (step-down) power switchers for low-power applications, such as small appliances and IoT endpoints powered by an offline supply. Family members include the AP3917B (170mA nominal load), AP3917C (270mA), and AP3917D (370mA). The need for direct, non-isolated AC-DC conversion in a small […]
LED drivers streamline interior and exterior lighting
Diodes Incorporated introduced two automotive LED drivers that combine robust performance, simplified design, and flexibility to address internal and external lighting applications, such as fog lamps, position lamps, rear lamps, and door lamps. The AL8860Q and AL8861Q have a wide-operating voltage range from 4.5V to 40V to withstand load-dump events and operate correctly at low-cranking […]
Bi-directional voltage level translator meets network and server requirements
Diodes Incorporated announced a new addition to its family of low voltage level translators, offering simple and autonomous bidirectional operation. The PI4GTL2002 is 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. As […]
Automotive-compliant diodes help lower operating temperatures, reduce power loss
Diodes Incorporated introduced the SBR10M100P5Q and SBR8M100P5Q. These automotive-compliant super barrier rectifier (SBR) diodes employ patented and proprietary technology and can significantly reduce power loss and lower operating temperatures in automotive applications. When used as a recirculating diode in DC-to-DC buck-boost converters for automotive daytime running light (DRL) applications, these devices can improve system efficiency […]
Single-stage, high power factor LED driver-controller incorporates mixed-mode dimming
Diodes Incorporated announced the introduction of the AL1665 single-stage, fly-back and buck-boost controller for commercial, connected, and dimmable LED lighting installations operating at up to 100W. The AL1665 is designed to drive an external MOSFET to control LED loads and maintain a high power factor. It provides a compact and efficient solution that helps minimize […]
