Diotec Semiconductor AG partners up with Mouser Electronics, Inc.
Diotec Semiconductor AG, specialist for discrete semiconductor solutions from Germany, announces global distribution agreement with Mouser Electronics, Inc. Mouser Electronics is one of the leading global distributor of semiconductors and electronic components. They are offering a wide range of Diotec's components in stock including diodes, rectifiers, MOSFETs, regulators, transistors and protection elements like TVS and ESD diodes.
Saverio Barboni, General Manager Marketing and Sales at Diotec Semiconductor, states: "The Partnership with Mouser is a great opportunity for us to increase our brand awareness and to extend our market share."
Diotec's product range on Mouser Electronics includes industry standard discrete semiconductors, suitable for a wide range of circuits in the field of industrial, energy, mobility, lighting and consumer applications. They further offer exiting new developments, helping customers to reduce costs and board space. The SM4000 for example is Diotec's new 4000V/1A rectifier diode in DO-213AB Melf package. It is ideally suited for input rectification of devices connected directly to the public mains, like Smart Electricity Meter, LED Street Lamps and 4G/5G Base Stations. All these devices are rated for a surge voltage of 6 kV. The usually inserted mains filter reduces this value to about 2 kV; actually available 2000 V rectifiers are at their edge under this load.

Data Security even when Lightning Strikes
Cloud networking, data center storage and server solutions are the base for worldwide online business and part of our daily life. When it comes to data protection, you might at first think about software hacks and data theft. But there is also another threat that is not human made, but comes directly from the sky: Lightning strikes which hit the power lines lead to voltage peaks - in worst case this can destroy the data storage electronics and the related data stored. TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diodes like the 3.0SMCJ16A-AQ are able to protect the supply lines in data storage and server systems and therefore the related data.
Our diode comes in the DO-214AB/SMC package, offers 16 V of stand-off voltage and 3 000 W of peak pulse power at the typical standard lightning pulse 10 / 1 000 µs. Though these applications have nothing to do with mobility, customers often choose parts with quality grading according to the automotive standard AEC-Q101, recognizable from the suffix -AQ in above part number.
For 24/7 data security, even when lightning strikes.

Diotec sponsors Kitefoil Racer Jan Vöster
We are pleased to welcome a new member to our sponsorship team. Jan Vöster is a young, talented and ambitious kite foil racer. He had some great successes last year, including the first place at Foilrace Youth, International German Championships.
Jan lives in Neuenburg am Rhein, South of Freiburg. He got his passion and enthusiasm for kiting and water sports from his dad, who raced windsurfing regattas as a teenager himself. His dad has been kiting for twenty years now and taught Jan in 2016.
In 2019, Jan took part for the first time in the Multivan Kitesurfmasters and a few other kite foil races in Holland and Denmark. He competed in the foil race and slalom disciplines and even became German champion in the Twintip slalom in this first competition season. His focus has been completely on foiling ever since. "After the 2020 season was unfortunately cancelled completely due to Corona, 2021 was a year with a lot of progress and change for me", Jan explains.
He found new sponsors and had a lot of great successes in 2021:
- 12. Platz U19 World Championships
- 4. Platz Foilrace Herren, International German Championships
- 1. Platz Foilrace Youth, International German Championships
- 7. Platz Worldsailing Youth World Championship
This year, Jan trained with the Olympic Squad in Tarifa and reached the 10th place at the U21 in Torre Grande, Sardegna, Italy. Next stop will be the Worldsailing Youth Sailing Worldchampionships in July 8 – 15, 2022 in The Hague. "I am really looking forward to the next race and feel very well prepared." We are also already excited and wish Jan good luck for his next race.
Demoboard: Protected Automotive USB Outlet - Safe Charging of your Smartphone in Caravans and More
Summer, sun and fun. A holiday trip to the south by caravan is a welcome change and a great opportunity to enjoy the sun. The evenings are ideally suited for a cosy get-together, playing cards, great talks and barbecues at sunset … forgot to charge your smartphone?!
Don't worry, modern caravans offer many amenities, including USB outlets to charge your phone and camera, and run many kinds of electronic devices. Staying in contact with your loved ones at home and surfing the internet is possible all the time. An extra battery supplies all electric demand in the caravan during the stay, and releases the car engine's battery. But like that one, this extra battery bears the risk of load dump peaks, damaging the electronics and in worst case the device connected to the USB outlet.
Here our latest demoboard 3991 comes into play. It is equipped with the TVS diode LDP02-28AYD2-AQ, offering defined load dump protection, a peak pulse power of 6 600 W and an ESD immunity of +/- 30 kV per air and contact discharge (HBM). It comes in the industry standard TO-263AB/D²PAK outline, which allows an optimized cost/performance ratio. The demoboard further contains a fully workable USB charger circuit; therefore, it can be used to test all kinds of surge pulses and their effect on the circuit, but also for any kind of USB load. It is available from the end of Q3/2022.

The SL1M Charges the E-Bike – You Enjoy the Ride!
If you like to explore the mountains by bike, an e-bike is a great way doing so. You can enjoy the beautiful nature and it’s faster than hiking. The more nm the motor provides, the quicker the e-bike accelerates.
Even more fun comes through a fully charged battery at least when the ride starts. The SL1M by Diotec becomes more and more a standard when we speak about low to medium power mains input rectification. It offers a nominal current rating of 1 A, which is sufficient for e-bike chargers drawing about 100 to 150 W from a 230 V mains. Its reverse voltage of 1 000 V and surge current capability of 27 A (50 Hz / 10 ms) provide a high safety margin, while the just 1.3 mm thin SOD-123FL package allows for space saving assemblies. Ideally suited for e-bike chargers and similar applications.

Light Sensors – Functional Lighting for the Daily Activities in our Lives
Everyone knows how difficult it can be going up- or downstairs when it is dark. Apart from the fact that it can be dangerous if there is anything for you to trip over, you might not feel comfortable.
Luckily, there are energy-efficient ways to illuminate corridors and stairs.
Many luminaires are equipped with motion and also twilight sensors, and you are even able to adjust the light intensity. In addition, light sensors save energy. A big plus for the environment and really easy on the wallet!
Fast Recovery SMD Rectifier Diodes like our RGL34J with an I_FAV of 0.5 A
a V_F < 1.3 V and t_rr < 250 ns can be used in the capacitive power supply unit of such light sensors. A simple yet power saving way to supply the sensor.

Solar Modules for Energy-efficient Lanterns – Made of Glass
Light is absolutely necessary for us. On sunny days, you can enjoy several hours with your family and friends at the beach. After sunset, it is comfortable to have a beautiful small light either outside or inside your house.
There are nice lanterns made of glass. At daytime, these lanterns can be charged via an integrated solar module in their cover. If the sun shines bright enough, the collected energy lasts for almost a full night of light – thanks to energy saving LED lamps. In order to prevent a discharge of the battery or "supercap" capacitor via the dark solar cell, there must be a reverse polarity protection diode. The SDB13HS is a 1 A / 30 V Schottky in a small and slim PowerSOD-323 package. At 100 mA (typical current of such small solar cell), and 125°C junction temperature (operating temperature when diode is hot), its forward voltage is as low as 280 mV. As such, only a low amount of power is lost at this diode. During night, when LED should light as long as possible, but also in stand-by mode, the battery discharge must be reduced to a minimum. The reverse leakage current of the SDB13HS at 5 V and 25°C is less than 40 µA, addressing exactly this requirement.
It is obvious: Power from the sun is an inexhaustible and clean resource.
