Integrated High Voltage Regulator from Diodes Incorporated Boosts Power Density

Plano, Texas – February 13, 2014 – Diodes Incorporated has introduced a pair of high voltage linear regulators suiting 48V DC power systems in telecom, networking and Power-over-Ethernet equipment. Integrating several components into TO252-4 and PowerDI5060-8 packages, the ZXTR1005K4 and ZXTR1005PD8 help minimize circuit footprint while providing a fixed 5V (+/-2%) output and a high drive capability of 50mA.

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.

The ZXTR1005K4 (TO252-4) and ZXTR1005PD8 (PowerDI5060-8) are priced at $0.30USD each in 10k quantities.  Further information is available atwww.diodes.com

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
