National Semiconductor announced the LM3492 LED driver with dynamic headroom control that drives current to two independently dimmable strings of LEDs. The LM3492, a member of National’s PowerWise energy-efficient product family, maximizes system efficiency and reduces system complexity and cost in ...

National Semiconductor introduced the LM5119, a high voltage, dual-channel, dual-phase, synchronous buck controller with emulated current-mode (ECM) control. The LM5119 enables regulation of single or dual high-current voltages directly from inputs as high as 65V, simplifying high voltage DC-DC conv...

Toshiba Electronics Europe has announced a family of low-power 200mA low drop out voltage regulators that are supplied in wafer-level chip scale (WCSP) packages. Measuring 0.79mm x 0.79mm x 0.5mm, devices in the TCR4SxxWBG and TCR4SxxDWBG LDO families require just 8% of the board area of an equivale...

National Semiconductor introduced WEBENCH FPGA Power Architect, a design tool to model and optimize power supplies for FPGAs. It incorporates the detailed supply requirements of more than 130 of the newest FPGA devices from Altera and Xilinx. To begin a design, the designer selects an advanced FPGA ...

Maxim Integrated Products introduces the MAX8952, a synchronous, DC-DC step-down converter. Maxim's advanced BiCMOS process and packaging technologies enable this device to deliver up to 2.5A of output current from a 4mm² wafer-level package (WLP). This high-current capability allows applications pr...
