Providing cost effective rectification with reduced power dissipation and using fewer external components, the APR3415 and APR34330 are suitable for applications including adapters/chargers for cellular and cordless phones, ADSL modems and MP3 players.

Diodes Incorporated has introduced a family of micro-power 8-bit Hall effect sensors for contactless switching in portable consumer, domestic and industrial applications. The AH8500, AH8501, AH8502 and AH8503 sensors operate over a supply range of 1.6-3.6V and a magnetic range of ±400G, minimising current consumption down to micro-power levels.

A 3W stereo class-D audio amplifier and class-AB headphone driver, the PAM8009, has been released by Diodes Incorporated. Targeting the makers of LCD monitors, all-in-one PCs and video projectors, the device features power limit technology for speaker protection and an advanced DC volume control for precise 64-step gain adjustment, enabling minimal external components to be used.

Diodes Incorporated has introduced the ULN2003V12 and ULN2003F12A relay and inductive load sink drivers, providing seven and four channels, respectively. The ULN2003V12 consumes 12 times less power while offering a direct replacement to the industry-standard ULN2003A from other vendors, while the ULN2003F12A provides a smaller footprint when fewer output channels are required, such as when driving low-voltage stepper motors.

Extending its advanced ultra-low power CMOS logic family, Diodes Incorporated has introduced dual-gate devices. The 74AUP2G logic devices support low-voltage, low-power system design which helps to extend battery life in super slim, next-gen portable products, such as smart phones and tablets. The devices provide seven dual gate logic functions: AND, NAND, OR, NOR, XOR and a choice of two tri-state buffers.
