Diodes Incorporated (DIOD) has expanded its silicon carbide (SiC) portfolio with five new 650V SiC Schottky diodes, rated from 4A to 12A. The DSCxxA065LP series features industry-leading figure-of-merit (FOM) and is housed in the T-DFN8080-4 package.

The diodes are designed for high-efficiency power switching applications including DC-DC and AC-DC conversion, renewable energy, data centers (particularly for AI workloads), and industrial motor drives. Key features include negligible switching losses, low forward voltage, and industry-lowest reverse leakage at 20µA (max).

The compact T-DFN8080-4 package (8mm x 8mm x 1mm) includes a large underside heat pad for reduced thermal resistance. Pricing ranges from $1.25 to $2.40 per unit in 2,500-piece quantities across the series.

Diodes Incorporated (DIOD) has launched its first automotive-compliant 3D linear Hall effect sensor, the AH4930Q. This innovative device detects magnetic fields in X, Y, and Z directions, enabling high-precision contactless rotary motion and proximity detection for automotive applications.

Key features include:

• 12-bit temperature sensor for accurate compensation
• High-resolution measurement down to 1 Gauss per bit
• I2C interface supporting up to 1Mbps communication
• Three operating modes with power consumption ranging from 13µA to 3.8mA
• Ultra-fast response with 10µs wake-up and 4µs response time

The sensor operates at 2.8V to 5.5V within -40°C to +125°C temperature range. Priced at $0.50 per unit (1,000-piece quantities), it comes in a 6-pin SOT26 package. Applications include infotainment system selectors, stalk gear shifters, door handles, locks, and powered seat adjusters.

Diodes Incorporated (DIOD) has launched its first series of advanced InSb Hall element sensors designed for rotation speed detection and current measurement applications. The new sensors come in two series: AHE300 and AHE10x.

The AHE300 supports Hall output voltage classifications C-G (168mV to 370mV) and operates at -40°C to +110°C in SIP-4 packaging, priced at $0.18 per unit in 500-piece quantities. The AHE10x series supports C-H classifications with voltage up to 415mV, operates at -40°C to +125°C in SOT23-4 packaging with various height options, and costs $0.10 per unit in 3,000-piece quantities.

These sensors feature ultra-high sensitivity for reliable operation in weak magnetic fields and low offset voltage (5-7mV) for high-accuracy detection. Target applications include consumer electronics like laptops and mobile phones, home appliances, and industrial uses such as position encoders and brushless motors.
