Diodes Incorporated’s GDZxxLP3 series of Zener diodes, housed in the minuscule and leadless surface-mountable X3-DFN0603-2 package, are now expanded to cover lower and higher Zener voltages (V_Z).

The ultra-low profile and minuscule packages of these Zener diodes save printed circuit board (PCB) area and minimize the height of the surrounding space. As a result, mobile electronics in which these Zener diodes are deployed, can be realized in ever smaller form-factor without sacrificing any of the system performance deemed necessary to ensure the end-users rich user experience anywhere and anytime.

The GDZxxLP3 series of Zener diodes offer V_Z range between 2.7 V and 24 V. They are perfectly suited for applications such as voltage referencing, voltage regulation, overvoltage protection, and voltage limiting.

The targeted end markets for these devices are portable electronics, mobile communication, virtual/augmented reality, mobile computing, micro-displays, and Internet of Things (IoT) terminals. X3-DFN0603-2 packages are fully green and RoHS compliant.
