The markets of portable communications, computing and video equipment are challenging the semiconductor industry to develop increasingly smaller electronic components. Bourns offers small-signal high-speed Switching Diodes for switching digital signal applications, in compact chip package 0805 and 1206 size format, which offer PCB real estate savings and are considerably smaller than competitive parts. The Switching Diodes offer a forward current of 100 mA or 150 mA, a reverse voltage of 80 V or 75 V and also have a low leakage reverse current option. The diodes are lead-free with Cu/Ni/Au plated terminations and are compatible with lead-free manufacturing processes, conforming to many industry and government regulations on lead-free components. Bourns Chip Diodes conform to JEDEC standards, easy to handle on standard pick and place equipment and their flat configuration makes roll away much more difficult.
