A family of three flexible LED Drivers from Zetex Semiconductors provides designers with the performance needed by the next generation of high brightness LEDs. The ZXLD132X inductive DC-DC converter series drive single or multiple LEDs with currents from 700mA through to 1.5A, in buck, boost and buck/boost configurations. Housed in a tiny 3mm x 4mm DFN package, the drivers can reduce the circuit footprint of existing solutions by up to 50%.

Zetex Semiconductors has introduced a dedicated rectifier controller for driving MOSFETs so that they perform as ‘ideal diodes’ in synchronous flyback converters ranging from 50 to 150W. The ZXGD3101 enables designers to replace lossy Schottky diodes with surface mount MOSFETs to achieve higher efficiency, less heat generation, a reduction in power supply size and weight and a simplification of overall circuit design.

Zetex Semiconductors has developed a dedicated chipset and reference design for MR16-compatible LED lamps. Reducing the component count of existing solutions by up to 50%, the chipset significantly decreases the size and weight of the PCB in the neck of the lamp and the overall cost of lamp manufacture.

Tony Blair has visited Zetex Semiconductor’s Oldham Headquarters during a fact-finding trip to the North West of England. He was accompanied on a one hour tour of the Zetex Technology Park by Zetex Chief Executive Officer Hans Rohrer.

Zetex Semiconductors has announced its first MOSFET to be packaged in the leadless 2mm x 2mm DFN package. With a PCB footprint 50% smaller than industry standard SOT23 packaged devices and an off-board height of just 0.85mm, the ZXMN2F34MA will benefit a range of space-starved switching and power management applications, such as external switches in buck/boost PoL converters, where PCB footprint, thermal performance and low threshold voltage are...

Operating from a 6V to 60V input supply and achieving up to 95% efficiency, the ZXLD1362 from Zetex Semiconductors can drive up to 16 high power LEDs with an adjustable output current of up to 1A. Provided in the tiny TSOT23-5 package, this LED driver is the smallest of its kind in its current rating, with a maximum footprint of 2.8mm x 2.9mm and off-board height of 1mm.

Anglia, the UK’s largest privately-owned electronic component distributor, grew sales by 17.5% in 2006, with annual sales through the $65 million mark , in stark contrast with the overall performance of UK distribution that, according to the Association of Franchised Distributors of Electronic Components (AFDEC) in its recently released figures, achieved only 5.3% year-on-year expansion in 2006.

Anglia has announced that it has signed a UK and Ireland distribution agreement with analogue semiconductor manufacturer Zetex.

Anglia has announced that it has been honoured with a special award by semiconductor manufacturer Diodes Inc., in recognition of the rapid sales growth it has achieved for the Diodes product range. The Outstanding Achievement Award acknowledges the exceptional level of new business that Anglia has generated for Diodes since taking on their UK and Ireland franchise in early 2006.

Anglia has announced that it has been chosen by Sharp Microelectronics to distribute its range of LCD displays, Optoelectronics and LSI components in the UK and Ireland. The Sharp product range includes TFT displays ranging in size from 2.5” to 65” diagonals, for applications including commercial signage, handheld devices and industrial control. Flash memory, high brightness LEDs, laser diodes and photocouplers also form part of the extensive...
