Tiny transistors and diodes

29 October 2008 Power Electronics / Power Management

ON Semiconductor has expanded its discrete packaging portfolio with new micro-packaged transistors and diodes.

Newly available are general-purpose and bias resistor transistors (BRT) in SOT-723, SOT-963 and SOT-1123 packages. The dual and complementary micro-packaged transistors are lead-free and halogen-free.

The company has also expanded its SOD-923 NSR Schottky diode portfolio with higher current capability of up to 500 mA and higher reverse blocking voltage up to 70 V. These Schottky diodes are suitable for use in camera flash and module drivers, boost converters for LCD or keypad backlighting and a wide range of DC-DC converter applications in space-constrained applications.

The Zener portfolio now features the NZ9F series in the tiny SOD-923 package measuring only 1,0 x 0,6 x 0,4 mm. With a steady state power dissipation of 200 mW, this series features a full Zener breakdown voltage range from 2,4 V to 24 V with both 2% and 5% tolerance devices.
