Diodes adopt a smaller outline

Four high-performance diode chips are offered in the smallest surface-mount package ever.

Avago Technologies is now supplying four of its high-performance diode chips in the smallest surface-mount package that it has ever offered At only 1.2 x 0.8 x 0.6mm in height, 12 diodes could fit on a grain of rice

The latest miniaturisations expand the company's offerings to developers of such diverse products as mobile handsets, radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, wireless local area networks, cable TV, and direct TV broadcast satellite systems.

The latest package helps Avago customers design in ever-smaller components in limited board spaces, allowing for creation of more competitively priced, compact, feature-rich wireless devices.

The package meets the European Union's Reduction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive requiring that manufacturers be responsible for eliminating products that contain six banned substances, including lead, beginning 1st July 2006.
