Diode Arrays

Diode Arrays have been used for many years in both digital and linear circuits and American Microsemiconductor Inc. has supplied and continues to supply the largest selection of diode arrays.

American Microsemiconductor diode arrays have many advantages over using multiple discrete diodes: reliability, high density packaging, fewer assembly steps (pick and place), fewer discrete parts to assemble.

American Microsemiconductor diode arrays also feature: low junction capacitance, fast switching, isolated diode chips manufactured by high reliability planar processing.

American Microsemiconductor Inc. designs custom diode arrays in many diode array configurations and packages. Although these diode arrays are used in many multiple diode applications, a few more popular applications are:
