New IC Insights report shows total O-S-D revenues reaching $61.6 billion in 2012

Researchers from Siemens Corporate Technology and Osram have discovered a new dark red luminescent material for light-emitting diodes. This was made possible by the use of a material develop-ment method known as High Throughput Experimentation (HTE), which allows the screening of large composition areas of complex material systems. The new luminescent material can be used, for example, for warm-toned white LEDs for general lighting, for backlight...

Extending the uses of their technology into yet another application, GlacialLight, a sub-division of the experienced technology manufacturer GlacialTech Inc., today announces a totally brand-new product, an LED panel light series named Pollux. Designed to be both fashionable and functional, the very first Pollux series LED panel lights are ideal for replacing traditional tube lights or grid lights. Free yourself from uneven, fluorescent tube ligh...

The path to a sustainable luminaire business model

With the help of “Light Line”, a warning light installed in the pavement, crossing the road becomes safer for pedestrians. Working in parallel to the switch function for the standard traffic light, “Light Line” uses a red or green signal to show when the street can be crossed safely and without danger. This new warning light was developed by DSTA, a Spanish company that designs and manufactures LED solutions for traffic lighting and trans...

Keithley Instruments a world leader in advanced electrical test instruments and systems, has created an interactive applications overview that provides instruction and insight into a variety of semiconductor measurement applications that require ultra-fast I-V measurements. The new overview, titled “Ultra-Fast I-V Applications,” can be viewed online at http://www.keithley.info/ultrafastIV.

Keithley Instruments, Inc. will webcast a free, online technical seminar titled “Fundamentals of High Power Semiconductor Device Testing” on Thursday, May 24 at 15:00 CEST. In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in the development of power semiconductor devices to meet the demands of more efficient, higher power end products.

TDK-Lambda has extended its digital power supply technology to include a new range of models designed specifically with medical applications in mind. With 4kVAC, reinforced input to output isolation, and other specifications such as and O/P to ground isolation of 1500VAC, the EFE300M meets the rigorous international safety standards for medical equipment, making it suitable for use in B and BF type medical applications.

Linear Technology just announced the LTC3787, high power two phase single output synchronous step-up DC/DC controller, which replaces the boost diodes with high efficiency N-channel MOSFETs. This solution eliminates the heat sink normally required in medium to high power boost converters. The LTC3787 can produce a 24V at 10A output from a 12V input at up to 97% efficiency. The LTC3787's 135uA standby quiescent current when configured for Burst M...

Linear Technology introduced the LTC2997, a high accuracy temperature-to-voltage converter with built-in series resistance cancellation for 2.5V to 5.5V systems. Many low voltage systems today rely on temperature to assess overall system health and reliability. Traditional implementations require a series of filters, a precise reference and a current source, resulting in a complex conversion scheme prone to inaccuracies if not carefully designed...
