The AS8520 is dedicated to LIN slaves which can be found in car doors, car roof modules, seat modules or similar applications providing the transceiver, a voltage regulator, four-wire micro controller interface for window watchdog, diagnosis and backup register access, as well as two relay drivers and a resistive attenuator. The AS8530 is a general purpose companion IC for LIN slaves providing the transceiver, a LDO and a shared pin microcontroller interface with window watchdog inside an 8-pin package. The AS8520 provides a LIN 2.1 transceiver with more than 6kV ESD IEC61000-4-2 capability on bus pin, a low drop out linear voltage regulator, for up to 60mA load, from nominal 6V-18V supply voltage with over voltage capability up to 42V. The AS8520 also features two low side relay drivers and a resistive attenuator with disable switch for power saving...

Avago’s competitively priced HLMP-Cxxx Through-hole round LED lamp series provide high reliability performance and high luminous intensity in electronic signs to help improve the contrast ratio and readability in sunlight. These new LEDs are also ideal for use in Traffic Signs, Variable Message Signs, and Monocolor Signs. Each of the HLMP-Cxxx series LEDs are made with an advanced optical grade epoxy offering superior high temperature and high moisture resistance. Moreover, the package epoxy has high Ultra-violet resistivity which can reduce the effects of long term exposure to direct sunlight...

The second-generation smartbook with a Tablet Reference Design Features a 7-inch touch screen with up to four times the viewing area of a typical smartphone and based on a form factor that is approximately one-third the size and volume of today’s typical netbook. The second-generation smartbook designed to provide instant-on functionality, persistent connectivity and all-day battery life. The tablet will be demonstrated at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show running both the Android and Linux® operating systems. Designed to help OEMs jump-start creation of smartbook tablets, the solution is based on Freescale’s highly integrated i...
