Diodes Incorporated announced the PI3A6386 USB Type-C multimedia port switch, designed to enable manufacturers to continue supporting legacy data and analog peripherals through USB Type-C ports. As a result of the adoption of USB Type-C ports in mobile phones and tablets, manufacturers are removing other ports such as USB 2.0 and 3.5mm audio sockets. The […]
USB PD controller supports standard and proprietary protocols
Diodes Incorporated announced the introduction of the AP43770 USB Type-C power delivery (PD) controller, a highly integrated solution for implementing PD over USB in fixed and portable devices, and offline power adapters. The AP43770 is well-suited to a range of applications where USB PD is implemented, including AC adapters, power hubs, battery banks, and USB […]
GPIB port expander enables peripheral I2C interface and level shifting
Diodes Incorporated announced the PI4IOE5V6416 16-bit I/O expander, which enables any digital device to be accessed and controlled over an I2C interface, across a range of input and output voltages from 1.8V to 5V. The PI4IOE5V6416 offers an ultra-low power solution to expanding the available GPIO on a microprocessor, microcontroller, ASSP, ASIC, or FPGA, using […]
Hall effect switches designed for robust automotive applications
Diodes Incorporated today announced its AH356xQ series of omnipolar Hall-effect switches, which are fully certified for automotive applications and qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 0. Typical applications for these rugged Hall-effect switches include position and proximity sensing, open and close detection, level detection and flow metering.

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% […]
