Central Semiconductor Intros New EED Schottky Diodes
Central Semiconductor Corp. (Hauppauge, NY) announced the release of three new Energy Efficient Device (EED™) low-leakage diodes, the CMDSH2-4L, CMOSH2-4L and CMUSH2-4L, which all consist of a single Schottky diode chip providing a high maximum current specification of 200 mA, and a low maximum forward voltage drop of 0.5 V at 200 mA. A standard 200 mA Schottky diode normally specifies a maximum VF value of 1.0 V or greater.
The SUPERmini CMDSH2-4L, packaged in the SOD-323 surface-mount package, offers a nominal profile under 1.0 mm. If an even lower profile is required, the ULTRAmini CMOSH2-4L in the SOD-523, or the ULTRAmini CMUSH2-4L in the SOT-523, both feature a profile under 0.8 mm. All the devices are suitable for portable electronics where energy efficiency for longer battery life is a necessity.
The devices are available bulk packed or in 3,000-piece quantities on a 7 in tape and reel. Prices for the CMDSH2-4L start at $0.14 each for 3,000 piece on a 7 in reel. Prices for the CMOSH2-4L and CMUSH2-4L start at $0.16 each for 3,000 pieces on a 7 in reel. Sample devices are available upon request.
