Avago Technologies has announced that its CoolPAM power amplifier modules have been incorporated in a reference design from a leading W-CDMA chipset supplier. Handsets based on the design will ship beginning this fall, giving manufacturers a time-to-market advantage in delivering the major functionality for multi-mode third-generation (3G) mobile phones, data cards, PDAs and other mobile devices.

Avago Technologies, the world's largest privately held semiconductor company, today announced the addition of a low-cost ultra-miniature transmissive optical encoder module to its family of products.

Features Assure Reliability and Performance in Motor Drives, Battery Charging Systems, and Signal Isolation

Avago Technologies has announced what is said to be the industry's smallest reflective incremental optical encoder. It is offered in a surface-mount package with dimensions of 3.00 mm length by 3.28 mm width by 1.262 mm height. The Avago AEDR-8400 encoder combines extremely small size with 254 lines per inch resolution, low power consumption and wide operating temperature range.

Avago Technologies has just introduced what is said to be the industry's fastest 3.3 V/5 V CMOS-compatible optocoupler, capable of transmitting data at 25 megabaud (MBd). This speed makes it ideal for high-speed, data-line transmission applications, such as those in industrial networking, including PROFIBUS and DeviceNet.

Avago Technologies has announced a pair of dual-channel high-speed optically isolated MOSFET (metal oxide silicon field-effect transistor)-output solid-state relays (SSRs) that feature performance that has been qualified over a wide industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Avago Technologies has introduced a one-quarter inch optical format, 2-megapixel CMOS image sensor with autofocus support that enables ultra-thin camera phones to record high-definition videos (800 x 600 pixels) at 30 frames per second and produce digital still-camera-like images.
