Our new NUP2105L follows the industry standard in SOT-23 package and offers two bidirectional diodes with 24V stand-off voltage. They withstand up to 30kV according to JESD-A114D (HBM) and feature a very low junction capacitance of only 30pF. It makes them thus ideally suited for I/O port and CAN bus protection.

The ESD3BxxWS is an entire series of bidirectional ESD protection diodes in the small SOD-323 package. Their stand-off voltage ranges from 5.0V to 24V at 350W of peak pulse power. ESD immunity is 30kV according to IEC 61000-4-2 (air discharge). Applications are any kind of interface and data line protection.

Diotec's -3G Schottky Technology encompasses high power handling capability at small package outlines. It offers state-of-the-art performance in the field of Schottky Rectifier. Energy savings are one common feature of all these new devices.

The new axial lead diode SBX3040-3G shows impressively what that means. It features a very low forward voltage and a low leakage current, and is thus perfectly suited for solar bypass diode applications but also reverse polarity protection.

Here some typical, application oriented parameters proofing its superior performance:

Vf < 0.39 V @ 15 A / 75°C
Ir < 220 µA @ 12 V / 75°C

Important for Solar Bypass diodes is the so-called thermal runaway test. The -3G Schottky technology offers low leakage currents which adresses exactly that issue. The SBX3040-3G can be used in solar junction boxes for up to 15A with no thermal runaway. Its very low forward voltage drop Vf makes this part further ideally suited for reverse polarity protection in battery powered systems or automotive applications. Power losses can be reduced and thus energy saved.

Our actual -3G Schottky portfolio includes Rectifier Diodes with (Very) Low Forward Voltage Drop, reverse voltages from 20V to 45V and forward current ratings from 0.5A to 30A. A new flyer shows dedicated Schottky Diodes for Mobility Applications.

Main Features of -3G Schottky Technology:

- Very Low Forward Voltage
- Low Reverse Current
- High Power Dissipation
- High ESD Robustness
- Energy Savings
- Available with AEC-Q101 grading

In our July newsletter we will introduce -3G Schottky devices for Consumer Applications.

 

Diotec's -3G Schottky Technology encompasses high power handling capability at small package outlines. It offers best state-of-the-art performance in the field of Schottky Rectifier. All our 3G Schottky diodes for Mobility Applications are available with AEC-Q101 rating.

Our new flagship for low power Schottky in SMD will be the SK34SMA-3G. It features a very low forward voltage and a low leakage current, and is thus perfectly suited for all kind of polarity protection or as an output rectifier in AC/DC or DC/DC converters.

Proof for its superior performance are these typical, application oriented parameters:
Vf < 0.32 V @ 1 A / 75°C
Ir < 120 µA @ 10 V / 75°C
Cj ~ 90 pF @ 4 V

Electronic systems for Mobility and Automotive embraces various applications such as powertrain, chassis control, body electronics, exterior and interior lighting or battery management of full electric vehicles. One of the common challenges in mobility electronic systems are the demand for power efficient, miniaturized and AEC-Q101 grade components made by innovative technology.

The SK34SMA-3G-AQ is currently under AEC-Q101 qualification; we expect completion within the 3rd quarter of this year.

PCIM Europe will take place from May 7 to 9 in Nuremberg. Diotec once again will be part of the world's leading exhibition and conference for power electronics, intelligent motion, renewable energy and energy management.

This year's topic of our booth will be our 3rd Generation Schottky Technology. You won't miss it, look out for large 3G Schottky logos. Stop by for a visit in hall 9 at booth 515 if you want to learn more about our 3G Schottky Technology. We might have the one or other nice giveaway waiting for you. Of course, you are also welcome if you just want to stop by for a cup of coffee.

Another entertaining fact on our booth will be our live demos. They are divided in our five market segments and applications: Lighting, Consumer, Mobility, Energy and Industrial. Every area will have a demo board on which the exhibition visitors can see and test by themselves how our diodes and rectifiers work.

Last but not least, we would like to invite you to our presentation "Shifting the Industry Standard on Schottky Diodes to a New Era: 3G Technology Reduces Power Losses by 20%" at the Exhibitor Forum in hall 7, stand 507 on Wednesday, May 8 from 1:20pm to 1:40pm. Still need a free PCIM entrance ticket? Contact us!

The California Proposition 65 is "The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 by the State of California (USA)". Its goals are to protect drinking water sources from toxic substances that cause cancer and birth defects and to reduce or eliminate exposures to those chemicals in general by requiring warnings in advance of those exposures, for example in consumer products.

Diotec's products are not intended to be sold to end-users, as such we are not subject to California Proposition 65. However, as a Germany based company subject to the most strict European environmental legislations, we take our responsibility in the supply chain very serious. We inform therefore our customers with our Declaration about potential exposures by our components during or after use in their devices sold to their end-users. You can download the whole Declaration here.
