PLANO, Texas--([ ])--Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIOD), a leading global manufacturer and supplier of high-quality application specific standard products within the broad discrete, logic and analog semiconductor markets, today announced its first Schottky diode to be offered in the miniature leadless DFN0603 package. Handling switching, reverse-blocking and rectification functions, the 30V, 0.1A-rated SDM02U30LP3 meets the higher density design requirements of ultra portables, including smart phones and tablets.

Measuring just 0.62mm x 0.32mm x 0.30mm, the DFN0603 packaged Schottky uses around 66% less board space than the industry-standard DFN1006 and SOD923 alternatives. Additionally, the DFN0603 has an off-board profile advantage over the DFN1006 and SOD923, as it is 25% thinner.

To ensure that power losses are minimized and portable battery lifetime is maximized, the SDM02U30LPS is characterized by a very low forward voltage of 0.37V and a maximum leakage current of only 7A. For further information, visit the Companyas website at [ www.diodes.com ].
