the functions necessary to implement a supercapacitor based LED flash driver solution

Increased resolution in camera phones and standalone digital cameras requires a high intensity LED flash current beyond the capabilities of standard lithium-ion batteries. The XRP6840 alleviates such peak current requirements by constantly sourcing a low controlled current from the system's battery to charge a supercapacitor which in turn provides the power for peak load functions. Charging and discharging parameters of the supercapacitor are completely managed by the XRP6840 and fully programmable via an industry standard I2C interface. The XRP6840 supports high peak current functions in battery operated portable systems while significantly increasing battery life.

The XRP6840 combines and manages in a single device all the functions necessary to implement a supercapacitor based LED flash driver solution. Supporting programmable current in torch and flash modes, the device comes in both two and three channel versions for increased design flexibility and supports up to 600mA of constant charging current. Built around tri-mode charge pump architecture and operating at 2.4MHz, the XRP6840 provides inrush current control and device protection circuitry while a standard I2C interface provides a seamless integration into any system.

In doing so, Rutronik extends its product range of visible and invisible LEDs. Brtled products combine first-class quality with an attractive price-performance ratio. The product range covers standard LEDs, high power LEDs and ultra high power LEDs as well as standard and customised led high bay light, optocouplers, photodiodes and phototransistors up to infrared transmitters, receivers and receiver modules. Together, Rutronik and Brtled focus in particular on white goods markets such as components and displays for cooker control units with a temperature performance of up to 125°C, general and interior lighting and the consumer, communications and computing industries.

while all of hit new record quarterly highs

As a result, to increase greenhouse yields and decrease producers' energy costs, they will team up with Rutgers University, the University of Arizona, Michigan State University, and Orbital Technologies Corp. on the four-year project to improve and evaluate LED lighting for greenhouse use, according to Cary Mitchell, a professor of horticulture and project director for the grant. Total sales from January through September of 2010 hit NT$92.88 billion, up 35% YoY. Meanwhile, operating profit and net profit reached NT$5.67 billion and NT$6.8 billion respectively, with accumulated EPS of NT$3.05 increasing a remarkable 50% YoY. In 3Q10, The Company’s gross margin and operating margin reached 13.9% and 6.7%, up 0.9% and 0.4% QoQ, respectively. Lite-On’s net cash position held steady at NT$11.9 billion, after its recent cash dividend distribution of NT$5 billion. Non-operating items posted a net income of NT$508 million in3Q, with Perlos’ Q3 sales reaching €138 million, up 12% YoY. Perl...

It is extremely rare for the government to ask retailers

Stephan Wittekind, Business Development Director at Traxon, said, “The highlight of this concept is that the fixtures are completely integrated into the semi-transparent structure. Therefore, they are not visible during the day, and the appearance of the stadium is completely different by night.” According to The Yomiuri Shimbun, Japanese government has encouraged major electronics retailers and home appliance makers to voluntarily halt production and sales of incandescent bulbs to save Led linear high bay light power this summer. The government plans to submit a written request under the names of Economy, Trade and Industry Minister Yukio Edano and Environment Minister Goshi Hosono to an industry group, probably sometime this week. The industry side has indicated it will oblige. It is extremely rare for the government to ask retailers and manufacturers to refrain voluntarily from selling and producing specific products.The two ministers plan to send their request to Sho-ene Akar...

Universal Display will develop new technologies and processes for OLED manufacturing

In addition to the patent sale, the 2 companies are engaged in “a strategic relationship,” with strengthened and enhanced alliances between the companies. Fujifilm will expand its business for the supply of Fujifilm's highly functional materials, such as barrier films, conductive films and flexible substrates, to OLED manufacturers globally, including Universal Display's worldwide customer base. Universal Display will develop new technologies and processes for OLED manufacturing. John R. Peeler, Veeco’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Veeco continues to deliver solid results in a soft market. Second quarter revenue was $137 million, and adjusted EBITA and non-GAAP earnings per share were $20 million and $0.37, respectively, with gross margins of 45%. Veeco generated about $19 million in cash flow from operations, ending the quarter with $540 million in cash and short term investments.” Second quarter LED & Solar revenues were $87 million, including $75 mil...
