Hall Effect sensors provide stable BOP/BRP and ultra-low power consumption
Diodes Incorporated announced the AH1911 and AH1921 digital Hall Effect sensors, which combine market-leading stable operating and release points (Bop and Brp) with ultra-low power operation. The 3rd generation devices will respond to either polarity of magnetic field and feature a ‘hibernating clock’ system to reduce average current consumption to 1.6µA at 3V supply. A wide operating […]
400V linear regulators deliver constant LED current in compact packages
Diodes Incorporated announced the introduction of the AL5890 linear constant-current regulator developed to provide simple and more cost-effective solutions to driving LED strings from an off-line or DC power supply. Available in a range of packages, the small form-factor of the AL5890 makes it ideal for any LED application where a lower BoM cost and […]

Reducing ringing or reflections by controlling impedance lines
What is a controlled impedance line? For one thing, the term has to do with Printed Circuit Board (PCB) traces and layouts, which get more complex with higher frequency signals. Generally, you need not worry much about controlling impedance in traces unless you are working with signals at or above 50 MHz. However, most of […]
60 V/1A buck LED driver adds dimming for commercial lighting
A wide input voltage range and integrated power MOSFET make the AL8862 buck LED driver a solution well-suited for developers of LED lighting drive circuits looking to minimize board space and reduce BoM cost with excellent analog and PWM dimming functions. With a typical output current accuracy of 5% at up to 1A and 97% […]
LED drivers in ultra-low profile suitable for LED edge-lighting
In response to growing demand for smaller LED lighting installations that also provide high efficiency and ultra-low EMI, Diodes Incorporated has extended its popular BCR420U and BCR421U families of linear LED drivers to include the BCR420UFD and BCR421UFD devices in the ultra-low profile DFN2020 package, making them well-suited for 12V and 24V LED edge-lighting applications. […]
Drivers targeted at 12V and 24V linear LED strips
Appealing to lighting designers, the BCR401U, BCR402U and BCR405U constant current regulators introduced by Diodes Incorporated enable simple driving of low-current LED strips and panels in the commercial and industrial lighting sectors. Targeted at 12V and 24V linear LED strips, these regulators increase light output efficiency as they only require a 1.4V supply, allowing more […]
OR’ing MOSFET controller supports power supplies up to 400V
Extending the capability to support redundancy power systems with rail voltages up to 400V, the ZXGD3112N7 active OR’ing MOSFET controller introduced by Diodes Incorporated, builds on a successful design employed in previous 40V and 200V devices. A low turn-off threshold voltage enables very low RDS(on) MOSFETs to operate as ideal diodes, providing a highly efficient […]
