A Billion Transistors Can Switch in a Millisecond
And still… One wrong diode can stop it all.
When a surge hits a board → The processor never sees it.
Because a diode takes the impact first.
When voltage drifts → A Zener quietly holds the line. When current reverses → A rectifier keeps everything safe.
They don’t make the spec sheet headlines but they decide whether the system survives the night.
That’s the quiet weight of discrete components.
At Diotec, we’ve built those foundations for over 50 years as one of Europe’s top manufacturers of medium and low-power semiconductors.
Standard parts that engineers reach for when they need one thing above all:
TRUST.
Low leakage.
Short lead times.
Stable parameters.
Most of what we deliver isn’t custom.
It’s the dependable discretes that keep designs running and prevent complex systems from failing over simple details.
Because even in 2025…
Progress still depends on one diode doing its job right.
