Fully Integrated Wide-Input Range Boost Regulators from Micrel
Micrel has introduced the MIC2605/6, two boost regulators operating at 1.2MHz (MIC2605) and 2MHz (MIC2606). Both devices supply up to 0.5A switch current. The devices, which complement Micrel's recently introduced MIC2601/2 family, are aimed at TV-tuners, broadband communications, TFT-LCD bias supplies, positive output regulators, SEPIC converters, DSL applications and local boost regulators. The ICs are currently available in volume quantitie...
Micrel Slashes 5 Port Switch-On-a-Chip Power Consumption In Half
Micrel launched the KSZ8895/8875/8864 series. The devices are low-power, highly integrated, 4/5-port Layer-2 switch-on-a-chip ICs. Leveraging Micrel’s latest green physical transceiver and switch technology, the product family achieves a 50 percent reduction in power consumption compared to the previous generation. Meeting the increasing demands for Ethernet connectivity in consumer and industrial applications, the family features advanced p...
NXP Helps Consumers Go Green with Introduction of Next Generation Energy Saving CFL Lighting Solutions
