Diodes Incorporated Launches High Current Load Switches for Enhanced Power Management
Diodes Incorporated Expands DML30xx Series: High-Current Smart Load Switches for Enhanced Power Management
BonChip Electronics, a valued distributor of Diodes Incorporated products, is excited to announce the expansion of the highly successful DML30xx series of smart load switches. These innovative devices offer a powerful solution for controlling power delivery in a wide range of applications.
High-Current Control for Diverse Applications
The four new additions to the DML30xx series – DML3008LFDS, DML3010ALFDS, DML3011ALFDS, and DML3012LDC – provide exceptional features:
- High-Current Switching: Delivering a current range of 10.5A to 15A,a these load switches excel at managing power domains for voltage rails spanning from 0.5V to 20V.
- Extensive Device Compatibility: Ideal for powering microcontrollers, graphic cards, ASICs, FPGAs, and memory chips, these versatile devices cater to a broad spectrum of electronic components.
- Power Management Applications: The DML30xx series is perfect for power management in servers, computing hardware, networking equipment, gateways, solid-state drives, laptops, tablets, industrial systems, hot-swappable devices, and peripheral ports.
Compact Design, Superior Thermal Performance
The DML30xx series prioritizes space efficiency and thermal management:
- Chip-on-Chip Architecture: By stacking the controller chip directly on a low RDS(ON) N-channel power MOSFET, these devices achieve an ultra-compact footprint, maximizing power density within your design.
- Enhanced Thermal Efficiency: Large, strategically placed heat pads on the underside of the devices facilitate efficient heat dissipation, leading to lower operating temperatures and improved reliability.
- Reduced Power Consumption: The DML30xx series boasts low power consumption with a typical on-state current of less than 150mA and a standby current of only 0.1mA (typ.), minimizing energy usage.
Simplified Design, Comprehensive Protection
These smart load switches offer a high level of feature integration, simplifying the design process:
- Reduced Component Count: The comprehensive feature set minimizes the need for additional circuitry, reducing component count and saving valuable PCB space.
- Faster Time to Market: The streamlined design approach offered by the DML30xx series empowers engineers to accelerate product development cycles.
Ensuring System Reliability and Uptime
The DML30xx series prioritizes robust operation and system protection:
- Customizable Protection Features: Designers can select the optimal combination of safeguards based on their specific application requirements. Protection features include short-circuit and overcurrent protection, undervoltage lockout, power good signal, and soft-start to manage inrush current effectively.
- Quick Discharge and Thermal Shutdown: All devices incorporate quick discharge capabilities for controlled power-down and thermal shutdown protection, enhancing system reliability and preventing damage caused by overheating.
