Rohm has launched a device that will simplify the design of mobile phones requiring full colour backlights by delivering the increased voltages and driving functionality demanded by white LEDs.
Devices in the series offer peak pulse power ratings of between 10 and 300W and can be supplied in package sizes with dimensions starting at just 1.2 x 0.8mm.
Available in common-anode and bidirectional variants, the TVS devices feature a variety of diode configuration options and are available in EMD2, EMD5, UMD and SMD miniature package styles.
Integration levels of up to five diodes in an SMD6 (SOT457) package significantly simplify application design by enabling the ESD protection of multiple voltage rails using a single, compact device.
Conforming to the requirements of IEC61000-4-2 (Level 4), Rohm's TVS series will operate with junction temperatures up to 150C, and are supplied in tape-and-reel packaging for use with modern, automated manufacturing systems.
