Diodes Incorporated creates a range of ultra-low saturation, fast-switching bipolar transistors with voltages up to 900V. The Bipolar transistors feature innovative processes and space-saving packages, enabling it suitable for many applications, including those with AEC-Q101 requirements. Additionally, they are innately ESD-robust and possess a very low specific on-resistance, making them a cost-effective option as compared to MOSFETs in various circuit configurations.
Bipolar transistors are utilized in a variety of applications due to their capacity to offer power, voltage, and current gain. They are commonly used in logic gates as switches, timers, pulse generators, and in other functions. Additionally, bipolar transistors are used to control electrical power in DC motors, AC dimmers, and high-power switching applications. They can also be employed to convert high-voltage AC to low-voltage DC in power supplies and inverters. In signal-processing tasks such as oscillators, filters, and mixers, bipolar transistors are also used. Furthermore, they are employed in audio amplifiers and preamplifiers to generate gain, tone, and volume controls. Lastly, bipolar transistors are used in automotive applications such as ignition systems, fuel injection systems, and transmission control systems.
