Triac-dimmable LED controller/driver design platform drives LED lamps up to 25W
The AL1692 LED controller/driver introduced by Diodes Incorporated is a platform-based design solution for triac-dimmable LED lamps. The internal MOSFET versions provide a low-cost solution with compact PCB size and directly drive lamps rated from 3W to 13W. The controller-only version with an external MOSFET can support higher power applications up to 25W. Intended for […]
More power IC technologies challenge design decisions
By Roger Allan, contributing writer There’s good news for power supply system designers. Silicon-based power devices are making performance advances in diode, transistor, and field-effect transistor (FET) functions. But wide-bandgap semiconductor IC technologies like gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC) are poised to grow rapidly, offering designers greater performance in a smaller package, making […]
Diodes Incorporated enables cost-effective headset detection with low power IC in miniature package
The AZV5001 headset detection IC introduced by Diodes Incorporated is targeted at cost- and power-sensitive consumer electronics such as mobile phones, tablet computers and media players. The integration of a comparator, OR gate and N‑channel MOSFET into a miniature package enables the connection of a headset with microphone to be quickly and simply detected. The […]
