DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 29, 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 announced the release of 21 medium-power bipolar junction transistors in its SOT89-3L package. These new devices are suitable for a wide range of high volume applications, which include switching and linear amplification, pass elements for discrete linear voltage regulators, MOSFET drivers for switching regulators, supply-line switches, medium-powered load switches, and power management circuits.

The bipolar junction transistors feature high collector current ratings and low collector-to-emitter saturation voltages, making these components well suited for a wide range of end-user products that are in high demand today, such as computers, portable consumer electronics, LED lighting, networking and telecommunications, set-top boxes and power supplies.

"With the release of these devices, we are continuing the expansion of our product offerings beyond small signal into medium-power devices with higher current and power," commented Mark King, Sr. VP of Sales and Marketing of Diodes, Inc. "The SOT89-3L medium-power bipolar transistor line is a follow-on to our highly successful SOT-223 medium-power transistors released in August. The expansion of our medium-power transistor product portfolio creates the opportunity for new revenue streams and helps improve Diodes' position as a complete analog and discrete solution provider to our customers."

The introduction of these 21 bipolar junction transistor components exemplifies Diodes' flexibility, as it continues its expansion into the medium-power bipolar transistor market. These new products are offered in a voltage range of 20V-300V and a current range of 0.2A-5A.

The part numbers released include: 2DB1132, 2DD1664, 2DB1188, 2DD1766, 2DD2150, 2DB1386, DCX51, DCX52, DCX53, DCX54, DCX55, DCX56, DCX68, DCX69, DXT3904, DXT3906, DXT2222A, DXT2907A, DXTA42, DXTA92, and DXT3150.

These components are produced at Diodes' state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities located in Shanghai, China, and all are fully RoHS compliant, including Green Molding compound.
