Diodes Incorporated Announces MOSFET H-Bridges that Optimize DC Fan and Inverter Designs
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May. 21, 2009--
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 a
range of four H-Bridge MOSFET packages that are set to dramatically
simplify DC fan and Cold
Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL) inverter circuits by reducing both
component count and PCB size in space constrained applications.
Two 30V H-Bridges, the ZXMHC3A01N8 and ZXMHC3F381N8, are well-suited for
12V DC fan and inverter applications and offer users a choice of low RDS(ON)
performance. The 60V rated ZXMHC6A07N8 and 100V rated ZXMHC10A07N8
are industry firsts and are targeted at 24V DC and 48V DC motor control
circuits, respectively.
Featuring dual complementary pairs of N- and P-type MOSFETs in an SO8
package, the ZXMHC parts can replace either four discrete SOT23 packaged
MOSFETs or two SO8 complementary MOSFET packages. The proprietary
packaging enables significant reductions in the PCB footprint by at
least 50% and in overall inventory cost for a wide range of existing
motor or other inductive load drives.
