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.

Diodes Incorporated Announces Higher Current Power Switches Optimized for USB

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq:DIOD - News), a leading global manufacturer and supplier of high-quality application specific standard products within the broad discrete and analog semiconductor markets, is introducing two new devices to its AP21XX power switch product line, targeted for higher current applications. The single channel AP2101 and AP2111 provide a continuous output current capability up to 2A and have been optimized for use in self-powered and bus-powered USB and other 3-5V hot-swap applications. Provided in both SO-8 and MSOP-8L-EP packages, the power switches are a very simple, cost effective form-fit for a wide range of consumer electronics, communications and computing products. High-side devices, the AP2101 and AP2111 offer designers the choice of active-low and active-high enable, respectively.Characterized by a faster transient response time of just 5µs, the devices prevent unnecessary system shutdown or restart, and generally improve overall system robustness. In addition, the power switches’ automatic output discharge function ensures completely controlled discharging of the output voltage capacitor. Like all other devices in the AP21XX range, the new devices provide a complete protection solution for any application, subject to heavy capacitive loads and the prospect of short circuit, and offer reverse current blocking, over-current, over-t...

DIODES INC /DEL/ Files SEC form 8-K, Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. On November 3, 2008, Diodes Incorporated (the "Company") accepted an offer by UBS AG ("UBS") with respect to auction rate securities owned by the Company, including certain rights to cause UBS to repurchase those auction rate securities. The repurchase rights are offered in connection with UBS's obligations under settlement agreements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and other federal and state regulatory authorities. The offering, the settlement agreements, and the respective rights and obligations of the parties, are described in a prospectus issued by UBS dated October 7, 2008, File No. 333-153882 (the "Prospectus"). As a result of accepting UBS's offer, the Company can require UBS to repurchase at par value all of the auction rate securities held by the Company at any time during the period from June 30, 2010 through July 2, 2012 (if the Company's auction rate securities have not previously been sold by the Company or by UBS on its behalf). In connection with the Prospectus offering and subsequent loan agreement with UBS Bank USA, on November 10, 2009, the Company received a credit line of up to the full value of the Company's auction rate securities. The Company has drawn down the full amount of the credit line. In accordance with the offering by UBS, the loan will be treated as a "no net cost loan" as defined in the Prospectus. The loan will bear interest at a rate equal to the average rate of interest paid to the Company on the pledged auction rate securities such that the net interest cost to the Company will be zero. Though the loan is payable on demand, if UBS Bank should exercise its right to demand repayment of any portion of the loan prior to the date the Company can exercise its repurchase rights, UBS and certain of its affiliates will arrange for alternative financing on terms and conditions substantially the same as those contained in the loan. If alternati...
