Discrete semiconductor market is driven by the increasing need to manage power across electronics, and miniaturization. The reduction in package size is inversely proportional to power dissipation. For instance, NXP semiconductors achieved 55% reduction in packaging size for its transistors range, by retaining the same power performance. Additi onally, Diodes Incorporated launched 40V- rated DMTH4008LFDFWQ and 60V-rated DMTH6016LFDFWQ automotive-compliant MOSFETs packaged in DFN2020. Moreover, characteristics, like safety, infotainment, navigation, and fuel efficiency in the automotive components, and security, automation, solid-state lighting, transportation, and energy management in industrial components, are expected to fuel the market studied. One of the significant trends in discrete semiconductors is efficient power management. New system architectures are improving the efficiency of AC-DC power adapters, while simultaneously reducing the size and component count. New standards for Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) allow higher power transfer, which enables the development of new classes of devices, like connected lighting.
