Diodes Incorporated has announced its first products to be housed in the ultra-miniature X3-DFN0603-2 package.
The company’s first 6,0 V Zener and switching diodes to be provided in the 0,6 x 0,3 x 0,3 mm format take 70% less PCB space than DFN1006-2 packaged alternatives and have an off-board height 40% lower.
Meeting increasing demand for component miniaturisation in lightweight portable products, the tiny package will also help increase efficiency with its thermally efficient design achieving 250 mW power dissipation, and improve electrical performance through reduced lead inductance.
The manufacturer has initially introduced a series of seven low-leakage Zeners in the miniature package, suitable for voltage referencing, regulation, over-voltage protection and voltage-limiting applications. The ‘GDZ’ Zeners offer nominal voltages from 5,1 V through to 8,2 V with ±5% Vz tolerance.
Also introduced in the miniature package at this time are two low-capacitance (CTT ≤3 pF) 85 V rated switching diodes. The 1SS361LP3 is characterised by fast switching performance (tRR ≤4 ns), while the BSA116LP3’s low leakage current (IR ≤ 10 nA) helps extend battery life.
