DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 11, 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, has introduced a
pair of N-channel MOSFETs, offering designers of Voice over Internet
Protocol (VoIP) communications equipment a more rugged solution that
significantly reduces circuit complexity and cost.
The ZXMN15A27K and ZXMN20B28K are specifically designed to meet the
stringent requirements of the primary switch position in transformer
based Subscriber Line Interface Circuits (SLIC) with DC/DC converters in
a variety of VoIP applications, including voice over broadband systems,
PBX systems, Cable and DSL gateways.
These devices feature breakdown voltages (BVDSS) of 150V and
200V, respectively, and will withstand the high pulse avalanche energy
and commutation modes in the SLIC environment without the need for
additional protection circuitry. Combined with the right choice of
transformer, these MOSFETs are capable of driving line voltages beyond
150V and supplying multiple subscriber lines at loop lengths exceeding
6km.
The low input capacitance of these MOSFETs makes them easy to drive
directly from the SLIC controlled IC with minimal or no buffering,
further simplifying circuit design and reducing component count and
cost. The ZXMN20B28K is also capable of low gate drive at logic level.
