Diodes Incorporated
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Diodes, Inc. Launches Compact 4-Line Array Schottky Bus Terminator for
High-Speed Data Systems QSBT40 offers significant space, reliability and cost
advantages over monolithic arrays

Westlake Village, California -- August 7, 2001 -- Diodes Incorporated, (Nasdaq:
DIOD) a leading manufacturer and supplier of high quality discrete
semiconductors, primarily to the communications, computing, industrial, consumer
electronics and automotive industries, today announced the launch of a new quad
data line Schottky bus terminator.

The QSBT40 is an innovative high-density array designed to protect the sensitive
in/out ports of Time To Live (TTL) and Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor
(CMOS) integrated circuits from over voltages caused by induced electrical
transients in accordance with IEC 1000-4-2/4/5. End applications standing to
gain from improved protection include LAN/WAN equipment, set-top boxes, Ethernet
connections and T1 Line cards.

The QSBT40 is also designed to provide bus termination with low capacitance for
high-speed parallel data systems such as hard disk drives, DAT drives, disc
arrays and network peripherals. The low capacitance device appears virtually
transparent to the data signal, but is capable of effectively dissipating an
over or under voltage to the VCC or ground rail during a voltage transient or a
pulse reflection.

This SOT363 device is based on Diodes' unique Application Specific Multi-Chip
Circuit ASMCC high-density implementation. A total of four data line terminators
are mounted in one SOT363 surface mount package, with eight separate diodes
arranged in four series-connected pairs. This compact 4-line array approach
allows for a more effective and efficient layout distribution compared to
traditional multi-line monolithic arrays. In addition, the packaging offers as
much as a 10:1 board space reduction ratio compared to other discrete Schottky
diodes, with a corresponding reduction in component placement costs.

C.H. Chen, CEO of Diodes Incorporated, said, "This new device signifies an
exciting new phase in our continuing drive to position Diodes Incorporated as a
technology leader for discrete devices. We continue to apply our high-density
array packaging technology to deliver tangible performance, size and cost
benefits to our customers. Initial customer reception in the area of high-speed
data systems is very strong. We are determined to push the envelope in discrete
design technology and introduce higher margin, must-have product lines and
extend Diodes' competitive edge."

Pricing and Availability

Samples of the QSBT40 are available now in a 6-pin SOT-363 package, through
Diodes' network of worldwide representatives and distributors. Lead-times on
production quantities are stock to 4 weeks. The device is priced at $0.50 in
10,000 piece quantities, in standard tape and reel packaging.
