Ultra Low Power LDO Voltage Regulator
DI6206 Series from Diotec is a high precision CMOS based low drop out voltage regulator. The device is compatible with low ESR ceramic capacitors. It provides output currents over 200 mA and fixed output voltages of 1.5 V to 3.6 V from an input voltage of 7.0 V.

Struggling with High Forward Voltage Drop at 60V Schottkys? We have the Solution!
SMS560-3G is a 5A/60V Schottky offering a forward voltage drop which was only possible with 40V types up to now. It has less than 0.55V at 5A, and anyway, unlike other "low Vf" Schottky types a low reverse current of maximum 80µA at 60V.
This outstanding performance is realized by Diotec's 3rd generation chip technology. Compared to former generations, this is a reduction of almost 20% in forward drop and thus power losses. Junction temperature is further reduced by the thermally low resistive MELF package, where these parts are build in.
The SMS560-3G is ideal for polarity protection but also high power output rectification. The 40V type SMS540-3G with even lower Vf completes the product family.
Enhance Efficiency of your Design and Save Board Space at the Same Time
With the ER2DSMA, a 2A/200V Superfast Efficient Rectifier in SMA package designers can easily solve two of their typical challenges: Reducing board space on one side, and increasing power output on the other.
This high power density device features a forward voltage of less than 1V and a reverse recovery time below 35ns. This makes it ideally suited for switching frequencies in the 100kHz range. The device has similar performance compared to alternatives offered by other manufacturers in the bigger SMB package.
It is available both in commercial and Automotive grade (suffix -AQ), and is well suited for applications like high frequency inverters, DC/DC converters, freewheeling diodes and LED drivers.
Features:
- Average Forward Current 2 A
- Forward Voltage < 1.0 V
- Reverse Recovery Time < 35ns
- SMA Package
- Repetitive Peak Reverse voltage 200 V
- Leakage Current 5 µA
- AEC-Q101 grade available
Need to Protect Your Sensitive Design and Space is Limited? Check Our Tiny Lead-less Packages!
Our new Application Note ESD Protection Solutions introduces several so-called "lead-less" package outlines. Rather than having extended leads, these parts are connected on the bottom side and thus save valuable board space. Just one example out of several is the DI5315-02F in the very small SOT-883 or DFN1006-3 package.
It measures only 1.0mm by 0.6mm and offers two ESD protection diodes with common ground connection. They can protect high speed data lines and I/O ports, such as USB and HDMI interfaces, used at communication and entertainment devices.
Application Note about ESD Protection
Diotec offers a wide range of ESD protection diodes both in single line and dual line configurations in various packages ranging from general-purpose (SOD-323) to small-size 0201 packages, supporting a wide range of signal speeds. They can provide transient protection for data lines and I/O ports as per IEC 61000-4-2 (air and contact discharge).
New: Schottky in MiniMelf offers 2A of forward current at reduced reverse leakage
The SGL2-40-3G is a 2A/40V Schottky in the small yet powerful MiniMelf package. It uses the 3rd Generation chip technology offering a forward voltage drop of less than 530mV at 2A and a reverse leakage of below 40µA at 40V. Thus these parts are ideally suited for baterry charging circuits, where a high forward current is required for fast charging and low reverse leakage for a low discharging rate.
Further applications include the output rectification in AC/DC and DC/DC converters, polarity protection and free-wheeling diodes. The advantages of the MiniMelf case outline (DO-213AA) over lead-frame versions are explained in this short video.
