Key developments for Diodes Incorporated (DIOD)

Diodes Incorporated Introduces Pair of N-Channel MOSFETs for VoIP Applications

Diodes Incorporated has introduced a pair of N-channel MOSFETs, offering designers of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communications equipment a more rugged solution that significantly reduces circuit complexity and cost. The ZXMN15A27K and ZXMN20B28K are specifically designed to meet the stringent requirements of the primary switch position in transformer based Subscriber Line Interface Circuits (SLIC) with DC/DC converters in a variety of VoIP applications, including voice over broadband systems, PBX systems, Cable and DSL gateways. These devices feature breakdown voltages (BVDSS) of 150V and 200V, respectively, and will withstand the high pulse avalanche energy and commutation modes in the SLIC environment without the need for additional protection circuitry. Combined with the right choice of transformer, these MOSFETs are capable of driving line voltages beyond 150V and supplying multiple subscriber lines at loop lengths exceeding 6km.
