Diodes Incorporated announced the PI3A6386 USB Type-C multimedia port switch, designed to enable manufacturers to continue supporting legacy data and analog peripherals through USB Type-C ports. As a result of the adoption of USB Type-C ports in mobile phones and tablets, manufacturers are removing other ports such as USB 2.0 and 3.5mm audio sockets. The […]
GPIB port expander enables peripheral I2C interface and level shifting
Diodes Incorporated announced the PI4IOE5V6416 16-bit I/O expander, which enables any digital device to be accessed and controlled over an I2C interface, across a range of input and output voltages from 1.8V to 5V. The PI4IOE5V6416 offers an ultra-low power solution to expanding the available GPIO on a microprocessor, microcontroller, ASSP, ASIC, or FPGA, using […]
Hall effect switches designed for robust automotive applications
Diodes Incorporated today announced its AH356xQ series of omnipolar Hall-effect switches, which are fully certified for automotive applications and qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 0. Typical applications for these rugged Hall-effect switches include position and proximity sensing, open and close detection, level detection and flow metering. The switches feature a wide operating voltage range of 3V to […]

Hall Effect sensors provide stable BOP/BRP and ultra-low power consumption
Diodes Incorporated announced the AH1911 and AH1921 digital Hall Effect sensors, which combine market-leading stable operating and release points (Bop and Brp) with ultra-low power operation. The 3rd generation devices will respond to either polarity of magnetic field and feature a ‘hibernating clock’ system to reduce average current consumption to 1.6µA at 3V supply. A wide operating […]
Reducing ringing or reflections by controlling impedance lines
What is a controlled impedance line? For one thing, the term has to do with Printed Circuit Board (PCB) traces and layouts, which get more complex with higher frequency signals. Generally, you need not worry much about controlling impedance in traces unless you are working with signals at or above 50 MHz. However, most of […]
