On October 29, 2012 Diodes Incorporated acquired PAM. PAM is a manufacturer of high-voltage and high-efficiency "green" power ICs for consumer, communications, computer, automotive and lighting applications. The acquisition of PAM strengthens Diodes’ position as a global provider of high-quality analog products by expanding the product portfolio with innovative "filter-less" digital audio amplifiers, application-specific power management ICs, as well as high-performance LED drivers and DC-DC converters. The resulting expansion of product portfolios and access to a larger customer base and even greater application expertise are clear advantages to next generation product design.
