Diodes, Inc. Expands SOT-223 Line with the Release of New Medium Power Bipolar Junction Transistors
Diodes Inc. announced the release of 19 medium power bipolar junction transistors in the company’s SOT-223 package. These new products are suitable for multiple applications, including switching and linear amplification, discrete voltage regulation, MOSFET drivers, supply line switches, medium-powered load switches, telephony and video equipment, and power management circuits.
"We continue to successfully leverage package development capabilities from our earlier analog acquisition in order to broaden our discrete product line and share a common package technology across our various silicon technologies," remarks Mark King, Sr. VP of Sales and Marketing of Diodes, Inc. "This product release significantly expands our transistor portfolio for our consumer and industrial markets, and strengthens our competitive position with leadership products in new areas of the power semiconductor market."
The bipolar junction transistors are said to have among the highest collector current ratings and the lowest collector-to-emitter saturation voltages on the market, making the components well suited for a range of end-user products that are in demand today, such as power management circuits, inverters, lighting ballasts, motor and solenoid drivers, buffering and switching regulator circuits, dc-dc converters.
The company thinks that the introduction of these 19 bipolar junction transistor components exemplifies it’s flexibility, as it is entering into the medium power bipolar transistor market. These new products are offered in a voltage range of 20 - 300V and a current range of 0.5 - 6A. All of the components are produced at Diodes’ manufacturing facilities located in the Shanghai, China region.
