Better design tools are needed for MCU-based devices
The rise of configurability in MCU-based devices has increased the need for better graphical design tools. By Mark Saunders, Cypress Semiconductor.
Integrated controller IC reduces system costs
Designed for lighting systems in the range of 40-300W, the ICL5101 lighting control IC has been released Infineon Technologies. The high-voltage resonant controller IC provides a high level of integration which translates to a reduction in system cost. Typical applications which benefit from these features include indoor and outdoor LED lighting, high-bay and low-bay lighting, street lighting, parking garage and canopy lighting, office lighting, ...
Vertical integration or horizontal integration?
The power electronics supply chain is evolving. Yole Développement (Yole) analysts confirm this trend in its latest technology and market report, titled Status of the Power Electronics Industry. Chinese companies’ vertical integration is challenging diverse historical market leaders, while Europe & US companies are pushing horizontal integration. What is the shortest road to the success?
LED drivers reduce system complexity
A family of LED drivers, designed for low-power to medium-power automotive exterior lighting applications, has been introduced by Infineon Technologies. The LITIX Basic family reduces system complexity and improves reliability of turn indicator, tail, stop and reverse LED lights. By reducing part count and offering more features than discrete design approaches, the drivers allow automotive manufacturers to expand the use of brand-specific and saf...
