Integrated High-Voltage Regulator from Diodes Incorporated Boosts Power Density

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 introduced the PAM8407 Class-D audio amplifier. This product integrates an advanced 32-step up/down volume control and enables a reduction in component count in a variety of stereo speaker applications, including PCs, docking stations and wireless speakers.

For high-voltage regulation tasks, where industry-standard linear regulators can't be used, the ZXTR1005 provides a cost-effective alternative that offers a significant improvement in supply reliability. The regulated 5V output enables microcontrollers to be powered from 48V telecom rails, while the devices' 100V tolerant inputs cope with any transient conditions.

The ZXTR1005's high-performance line and load regulation capability also ensures transient voltage drops will not result in latch-up, thereby safeguarding continuous operation of the voltage supply. To simplify regulator control and aid diagnostics, the device includes an active-high enable pin allowing the output to be toggled on and off.
