Diodes Incorporated Offers New Low Voltage Rail-to-Rail Operational Amplifiers

Jul 7, 2009

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 7, 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 new family of three low voltage rail-to-rail output operational amplifiers (op amps), providing a cost effective and small form factor solution for industrial and consumer electronics.

The LMV321/358/324 op amps operate over the 2.7V to 5.5V supply range, making them ideal for single supply applications used in set-top-boxes, computers, data communications, HVAC and other industrial applications operating from 5V rails. The rail-to-rail output swing increases the useable supply voltage over the ubiquitous LM358/324, and a smaller footprint makes them better suited for modern electronic systems.

The LMV321 is provided in SOT23-5 and SOT353 (or SC70-5); the LMV358 is available in SO8 and MSOP8; and the LMV324 is available in TSSOP14. All products are offered in green molding compound (no Br and Sb). The devices have industry standard pin-outs, expanding Diodes’ presence in industry standard analog. The devices’ operating ambient temperature range is from -40 to 85oC. The LMV32x family is available through the Diodes, Inc. distribution channels.
