Fairchild Semiconductor Delivers High Conversion Efficiency for Smartphone Backlighting Applications
As the mobile handset market continues to grow and smartphone usage and market growth become significantly more prevalent, designers are challenged to add functionality while reducing the form factor and components in the overall design. Responding to customer needs and these trends, Fairchild Semiconductor developed the FDZ3N513ZT – an N-Channel and Schottky diode combination in a small 1mm x 1mm footprint.
SIL/SHE Safety Critical Alarm Monitoring over Fibre
Omniflex can provide complete sitewide alarm management system in accordance to the requirements of IEC61508 and EEMUA 191 standards. These systems include the conditioning of the front end process signal through SIL rated Trip amplifiers and transmit these alarms over copper cable or via SIL2 rated Fibre optic Transmitters/Receivers (where Fibre optic cable is used) into SIL rated Alarm Annunciators and Sub 1 millisecond Sequence of Event Record...
Hamamatsu Photonics 2D InGaAs Image Sensor
Hamamatsu Photonics introduced the G11097-0606S, a brand new two dimensional InGaAs image sensor that compliments the existing range of high performance linear image sensors. The G11097-0606S consists of a CMOS readout integrated circuit (ROIC) and a back illuminated InGaAs photodiode array, which are connected via indium bumps on a hybrid structure. The G11097-0606S features simultaneous charge integration and a 5MHz video data rate. Also includ...

Fairchild Semiconductor’s Linear LED Drivers Conserve Space in Portable Backlighting Applications
Space-constrained applications, such as handsets, glucometers and other portable devices that require illumination of LCD displays and keypads, now have a linear LED driver option that can save up to 60 percent board space compared to alternate solutions. The design of Fairchild Semiconductor’s (NYSE: FCS) FAN5622/24/26 reduces overall component count by eliminating additional passive components used in charge pumps and series boost LED drivers...
Cree Extends LED Market Leadership with Industry’s Most Color-Consistent LEDs
Cree is taking another leadership position in the LED industry with the addition of the industry’s smallest warm and neutral bins to its award-winning multichip XLamp MP-L and MC-E EasyWhite LEDs. This breakthrough offers a single two-step MacAdams ellipse bin per color temperature, optimized to achieve incandescent-like color consistency and eliminating the need to purchase multiple small bins and perform complex color mixing.
