Diodes, Inc. Introduces Low Threshold Voltage MOSFETs for Low Voltage Applications.

Offered in Some of the Industry's Smallest and Thinnest Discrete Packages Targeting Ultra-Miniature Electronic Devices Including Mobile Phones and Digital Media Players

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. -- Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq:DIOD), a leading global manufacturer and supplier of high-quality application specific standard products within the broad discrete and analog semiconductor markets, today announced the launch of a new series of low threshold voltage MOSFETs, optimized for low voltage applications.

Designed for simple integration into a wide variety of low voltage circuits common to portable and handheld end products, the new MOSFET series can be driven directly from low voltage logic level outputs without requiring expensive and power-hungry charge pumps. Offered in some of the industry's smallest and thinnest discrete packages, Diodes' package options include single and dual array configurations. The single device, part number DMN2005LP4K, in the DFN1006H4-3 package requires a miniscule 0.6mm2 of printed circuit board (PCB) area, and Diodes' new dual array, part number DMN2005DLP4K, in the DFN1310H4-6 package requires only 1.3mm2 of PCB area. Combined with an available low-profile package height of 0.4mm, the DFN package is ideal for the fast growing, space constrained, consumer electronic device end products such as mobile phones and portable media players.

"The introduction of the low threshold voltage MOSFET product family addresses a growing market need from low voltage end user applications in ever shrinking form factors," remarked Mark King, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing of Diodes Incorporated. "Combining fast and flexible DFN package design capability and Diodes' commitment to lead through innovation, we are uniquely equipped to meet our customers requirements despite their very short design windows. This strength has resulted in several important DFN design wins in the fast growing consumer electronics devices market."

As the industry-wide trend for smaller and more efficient products expands, a broad shift to lower operating and logic level voltages has created widespread demand for low threshold voltage small signal MOSFETs. To address the growing need for sub-3.3 volt logic level operation, Diodes, Inc. has also introduced the DMN5L06xxK series of low threshold voltage MOSFETs available in a variety of industry standard surface mount packages. Ideal for a broad range of applications, this series is optimized for use in notebook and desktop computers, set-top boxes, broadband cable and xDSL modems, LCD monitors, and GPS navigation systems.

Diodes' low threshold voltage MOSFET series encompasses ten part numbers in eight surface mount package types and include integrated gate-source ESD protection up to 2kV, ensuring ease of handling and soldering onto the PCB.
