Maxim Integrated Products introduces the MAX8847/MAX8848, negative charge pumps for up to 6 or 7 white LEDs (WLEDs) in a 3mm x 3mm TQFN package. These backlight drivers employ a negative-charge-pump architecture to eliminate in-line resistance from the battery to WLEDs. As a result, mode switching from 1x to 1.5x is delayed during battery discharge, thereby minimizing dropout. The proprietary adaptive-mode-switching technology controls each LED i...

Maxim introduced the MAX16838, the industry's only two-string HB (high-brightness) LED driver for automotive applications. This device integrates a boost or SEPIC switching converter, two linear current sinks, and all necessary power MOSFETs. The MAX16838 is able to optimize conversion efficiency, provide complete fault protection, and allow a 5000:1 dimming range-without any external components. This HB LED driver is well suited for LCD backligh...

Cree, Inc announced the commercial availability of the award-winning XLamp XP-G LED in warm- and neutral-white color temperatures (2600 K to 5000 K CCT). These new XP-G LEDs extend Cree’s highest level of light output and efficacy across the white color spectrum, driving general lighting applications such as LED replacement lamps, outdoor area and commercial luminaires.

The LED lighting revolution achieved another victory with the opening of an industrial plant lit exclusively with LEDs. Located in Etten Leur, The Netherlands, the full-service consumer products packaging plant is owned and operated by Kompak. All interior and exterior lighting fixtures feature Cree XLamp® LEDs and were developed and installed by LedNed, a Dutch LED lighting pioneer.

Cree is taking another leadership position in the LED industry with the addition of the industry’s smallest warm and neutral bins to its award-winning multichip XLamp MP-L and MC-E EasyWhite LEDs. This breakthrough offers a single two-step MacAdams ellipse bin per color temperature, optimized to achieve incandescent-like color consistency and eliminating the need to purchase multiple small bins and perform complex color mixing.

Cree, Inc. (Nasdaq: CREE), and Philips (NYSE:PHG)(AEX: PHI) have signed a comprehensive, worldwide patent cross-license agreement designed to further accelerate the growth of the LED lighting market. Cree and Philips both hold broad and substantial optoelectronic patent portfolios which are important to their respective businesses. This agreement covers patents from both parties in the fields of blue LED chip technology, white LEDs and phosphors...

Cree is redefining expectations of lighting-class LEDs with the addition of new 100+ lumen XLamp® XP-C LEDs to the company’s line of XLamp LEDs. This addition shifts Cree’s entire XLamp portfolio of lighting-class LEDs into the 100+ lumen range, at 350 mA.

Cree, Inc has announced it has achieved industry-best reported R&D results of 186 lumens per watt for a white power LED. This result demonstrates Cree's continued focus on pushing the performance of its LEDs.

Cree, Inc announced another industry-best reported efficacy record of 208 lumens per watt for a white power LED. This R&D result passes a significant milestone within the solid-state lighting industry as well as demonstrates Cree’s relentless drive to increase the performance of its LEDs.

For design engineers with the requirement for a compact infrared sensor, TT electronics OPTEK Technology has developed a small surface mount packaged photo light sensor with a digital output ideal for applications with limited space. Designated the OPL611 Series, the sensors feature data rates to 250kBaud and consist of a Photologic chip encapsulated in transparent molded plastic, providing optical coupling as well as mechanical protection.
