Diodes Incorporated is a leading global manufacturer and supplier engaging in discrete and analog semiconductor markets. The company has relocated its Corporate offices to Dallas, Texas with engineering, sales, warehouse and logistics offices in Taipei and Hong Kong.Besides,Diodes has established design centers in Dallas, San Jose, Westlake Village and Taipei with a wafer fabrication facility in Missouri.

Diodes has organized marketing and support offices in Toulouse, France and Hattenheim, Germany. The company has two manufacturing facilities in Shanghai which have achieved the Quality Awards of QS-9000, ISO-9001:2000, TS16949:2002 and ISO 14001 certifications.Furthermore,Diodes has received the "Manufacturing Site of the Year" award from the National Microelectronics Institute (NMI) in 2009.

Diodes Incorporated is a global supplier of low pin-count standard semiconductor products. These products have eight pins or less, and include small signal transistors, metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs), thyristor surge protection devices, transient voltage protection devices, Hall sensors, power management products, programmable logic arrays, diodes, recitifiers, bridges and silicon wafer. 

Diodes Incorporated designs, manufactures and markets these semiconductors focused on end-use applications in the consumer electronics, computing, industrial, communications and automotive sectors. On November 3, 2006, the Company purchased the net assets of APD Semiconductor, Inc., a fabless semiconductor company.

The company is focusing on high-growth end-user equipment markets such as TV/Satellite set-top boxes, portable DVD players, datacom devices, ADSL modems, power supplies, medical devices, PCs and notebooks, flat panel displays, digital cameras, mobile handsets, DC-to-DC conversion, wireless 802.11 LAN access points, brushless DC motor fans and automotive applications. The main products of Diodes include diodes, rectifiers, transistors, MOSFETs, protection devices, functional specific arrays, power management devices including DC-DC switching and linear voltage regulators, amplifiers and comparators, lighting ICs, DBS controllers, sensors, etc.The products are designed for use in communications (buck switching regulator, backlight driver, low droput regulator, reset generator, hall effect device, smart motor controller for cell phone), power management (portable power, current sensing and power supply), lighting (display screens, architectural, photo flash, automotive and safety/security), motor control (cooling fans, extraction fans and blowers, fluid pumps), direct broadcast by satellite (LNB and satellite multiswitch), audio (DDFA amplifiers, DDFA DACs, analog input amplifiers).
