Automotive-qualified DC/DC step-down converter that offers a leading combination of high voltage up to 60 V, a switching frequency up to 2.2-MHz and ultra-low quiescent current of 65 microamp in a small, monolithic package. The TPS54362-Q1 is the first in a family of automotive-qualified DC/DC controllers and converters. The TPS54362-Q1 converts an unregulated input voltage to a fixed lower output voltage to power automotive applications, such as infotainment, navigation systems and power supply for electronic control units. The TPS54362-Q1 allows designers to reduce overall solution size, cost and design complexity when compared to discrete solutions...

The AP21x6 family is dual Universal Serial Bus (USB) power switches for the new devices include set-top-boxes, LCD TV and monitors, HDTV, residential gateway and ADSL, laptop,server, and consumer electronics with USB port(s). Application areas include USB port protection, heavy capacitive loads, short-circuit protection and over-current protection. The AP21x6 family (AP2146,AP2156,AP2166,AP2176,AP2186,AP2196) offers a reduced footprint, improved switch on-resistance and better power dissipation than competing devices. These integrated high-side power switches are optimized for self-powered and bus-powered USB and other hot-swap applications. The family of devices complies with all USB standards and is available with both polarities of Enable input. The AP21x6 family provides a cost effective, small form-factor implementation that offers complete protection for USB ports in different systems. The AP21x6 family is form, fit and function compatible with industry standard dual channel devices. Offered in SO8 packaging, these devices are rated for commercial applications. The power switches are also available in thermally enhanced MSOP-8L-EP packages, and are specified for operation over industrial temperature range of -40 to +85oC...

The innovative new products are small, interchangeable modules, which address some of the barriers to widespread adoption of LED technology, including precise heat and current management and the necessary optical design for superior illumination. The unique format allows lighting fixture OEMs to convert their current fixture designs for LEDs and be ready for future LED technology advances. The Transcend Lighting Series will be available globally by summer 2009 and will enable fixture makers to design and develop solutions for architectural, commercial and residential applications. Transcend products are based on the AcricheTM 4W AC LED from Seoul Semiconductor and can be directly plugged into the AC line voltage without a converter or separate power supply...
