Diodes' advanced charger solution earns EE Award

Diodes’ AP43771V, AP3306, and APR340 combination delivers highly efficient, cost-effective, USB solutions for portable and consumer applications.

Diodes Incorporated has announced that its ultra-high-power-density (UHPD) charger solution has won an award in the featured, “Energy-Saving Power Semiconductor Provider” category at the inaugural EE Awards Asia.

The three-chip charger solution was originally developed to enhance performance in applications, such as notebook computer adapters and smartphone chargers.

The EE Awards Asia celebrates the achievements of products, companies, and individuals throughout the Asian electronics industry.

This year’s winners were selected by online readers of AspenCore Media’s publications including EE Times and EDN titles across Asia, as well as a committee of industry analysts and editors from the media group.

Diodes’ solution was selected within the category for energy-saving power semiconductor products out of Asia. The judging panel recognized the ability of Diodes’ game-changing UHPD charger solution to deliver reduced size, increased efficiency, and low standby power.

The three IC devices that comprise the solution are the AP3306 active clamp flyback controller, the APR340 synchronous rectification MOSFET driver, and the AP43771V USB Type-C power delivery decoder. Together, these provide users with a more portable, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly option for charger design.

“We are really pleased to be honored in the first-ever EE Awards Asia. The hard work of Diodes’ team in bringing these parts to market was instrumental to winning this award,” commented Andy Tsong, president, Asia Pacific Region, Diodes Incorporated. “We sought to offer design engineers a complete solution to help them optimize their power designs for AC/DC charger applications. In the future, we plan to build on this foundation of improved efficiency and performance.”
