DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 26, 2007--Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq:DIOD), a leading global manufacturer and supplier of high-quality application specific standard products within the broad discrete and analog semiconductor markets, today announces the introduction of several breakthrough 300V SBR(R) rectifiers that surpass the industry-wide Schottky reverse voltage limitation of 250V. Utilizing the Super Barrier Rectifiers (SBR(R)) technology acquired in late 2006, the new 300V SBR(R) rectifiers combine both the Schottky-like low forward voltage drop (VF) with the thermal stability of a Fast Recovery Rectifier (FRD). When compared to traditional 300V Ultra-Fast Recovery Rectifiers, the 300V SBR(R) rectifiers offer a significant 20-25% improvement in forward voltage drop (VF) with similar soft, reverse recovery switching speed (TRR). This increased performance results in higher efficiency when used as output rectifiers or boost diodes in switch mode power supplies in high power applications such as Plasma/LCD monitors, industrial applications such as industrial computers and welding equipment, telecom and medical power supplies.

"With the introduction of the 300V SBR(R) rectifiers, Diodes continues to drive technology forward with innovative products that set new industry standards unobtainable with traditional Schottky technology," remarks Mark King, Sr. VP of Sales and Marketing of Diodes, Inc. "The rollout of these high power 300V SBR(R) rectifiers like the SBR60A300CT and SBR40U300CT have expanded our competitive position with leadership products into new areas of the power semiconductor market, including applications for the industrial and commercial power supplies."

The SBR60A300CT SBR(R) device is the first in its industry to offer a maximum forward output current of 60 Amperes with a 300V reverse blocking voltage in a TO-220 package. The 300V rating at 60A is 76% higher than any other traditional Schottky rectifier offered at the same current rating in the market. With the higher voltage rating and superior avalanche energy capability combined with a low forward voltage drop (VF), designers can improve their rectification efficiency and simplify their design by removing costly snubber circuits that suppress high reverse avalanche spikes.

With this release, Diodes, Inc. offers three new 300V SBR(R) rectifiers including the SBR20A300CT with a continuous forward current rating of 20A and low forward voltage drop (VF), and for higher power applications, SBR40U300CT and SBR60A300CT offer continuous forward current of 40A and 60A respectively. All rectifiers are rated for a high maximum junction temperature of 175 degrees C making them ideal for such applications such as industrial computers, telecom and medical SMPS where efficiency and reliability are critical to the design.
