Diodes Incorporated has announced the first devices in a family of Super Barrier Rectifiers (SBR®) designed for automotive applications. With a lower forward voltage drop, improved avalanche rating and higher safe operating area (SOA) than alternative Schottky or ultra-fast diode alternatives, these rugged rectifiers enable automotive designers to increase the reliability of motor control, display panel and LED lighting circuits.

The new VW Touareg is now on the market – and with it, many new innovations that make driving this SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle) not only cleaner and safer, but more convenient, too. The completely redeveloped instrument cluster makes an important contribution to increasing operating convenience.

ELMOS introduces a set of chips for the implementation of an automatic start-stop function in vehicles. With ELMOS chips E981.01 and E910.28, the voltage supply of the automotive on-board system can be maintained when car and engine stop in front of a red light or while passengers are getting in or out. This not only saves fuel but also improves the CO2 balance of the vehicles.

Tests show new kid on block – diode lasers – eventually could challenge LEDs for home and industrial lighting supremacy.

Diodes Incorporated has won a Best Electronic Design award in Electronic Design magazine’s prestigious annual awards issue. The Company won the award in the Automotive category for its Super Barrier Rectifier (SBR®) product line launched in June, 2011.

The AL8806 buck LED driver from Diodes Incorporated is capable of producing a constant current of up to 1.5A from voltage sources of between 6V and 30V. Suiting MR16, 12V and 24V LED lamp design, the driver ensures a 5% average LED current accuracy for up to 9 high power LEDs over the wide operating voltage range, helping to significantly improve inter-lamp luminance matching.

Cypress Semiconductor has announced that WAC Lighting, a leading manufacturer and designer of track, recessed, undercabinet, decorative and monorail lighting, has selected Cypress’s EZ-Color high-brightness LED (HBLED) controllers to control the LEDs in its new color-changing tape light system. Based on Cypress’s flexible PSoC programmable system-on-chip, the EZ-Color solution enabled WAC Lighting designers to quickly introduce the energy-eff...

At this year’s Light+Building Preview, OSRAM introduced a selected range of new products which will be shown at the largest and most important trade fair of the lighting industry: the first LED-substitute for the 75W-light bulb in Europe; its first LED-module in accordance with Zhaga standards; the sure course to the world of LED-street lighting as well as the latest generation of lighting management systems. “In the course of the past year, ...

Coherent, Inc has expanded their family of industrial ultrafast lasers with the Talisker 500, which delivers over 10 Watts of ultraviolet output at 355 nm, 15 Watts of green output at 532 nm or 25 Watts of infrared output at 1064 nm. This next generation Talisker laser also increases repetition rate to 500 kHz enabling even higher throughput rates than earlier models. The combination of short (10 ps) pulse duration and flexible wavelength optio...

Coherent Inc has launched several higher power versions of their Verdi G series of 532 nm, scientific-grade lasers based on the company’s unique optically pumped semiconductor laser (OPSL) technology.
