Diodes, Inc. Introduces Super Barrier Rectifier and Expands Ultra-Miniature DFN1006 Family
Diodes Inc. announced a broad expansion of its ultra-miniature DFN1006 package product family, including what is claimed to be an industry leading 0.5A Super Barrier Rectifier, SBR® (part number SBR05U20LP), offering what is claimed to be exceptionally low forward voltage drop combined with low reverse leakage current characteristics.
Occupying only 0.6mm2 of PCB area, the SBR® rectifier is said to offer performance typically found in devices more than three times this size. These features are claimed to provide unsurpassed efficiency, superior reliability, and a large safe operating area. The products are well-suited to provide secondary rectification in miniature 1/8th and 1/16th brick dc-dc converters and freewheel and reverse polarity protection in small portable electronics applications such as mobile phones, digital audio players and LCD modules.
"Combining our recently acquired SBR(R) technology with our advanced ultra-miniature packaging capability has resulted in a device that is clear evidence to our commitment to push the boundaries of innovation and to position Diodes, Inc. as a technology leader in the application specific standard product market," remarked Dr. Keh-Shew Lu, President and CEO of Diodes Inc.
