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.

Innovation in Lighting Symposia and the Lightning Award Presentation

Our show is an example of how co-operating with an international partner, together with a sizeable show investment year after year, benefits the lighting industry," Dr. Pan continued. “We are totally committed to supporting the growth of China's lighting industry. We provide a sales and marketing platform for exhibitors and a forum for industry knowledge exchange. During this year's show we will organise more than 30 seminars, conferences and matchmaking opportunities that suit all levels of lighting professionals. These include special information days featuring China, Taiwan and Japan, the Lighting Design Gallery, Guangzhou international Lighting Technology Symposium, Innovation in Lighting Symposia and the Lightning Award Presentation." Guangzhou Guangya Messe Frankfurt is totally committed to the exchange of industry knowledge to support the growth of China's lighting industry. For example, the close connection with the popular “Alighting” website, magazine...

the global electronics industry to provide more energy-efficient products

Managing Director for Sabik said, “Carmanah’s understanding of energy management is evident in the performance of their short-range solar LED marine lights, and we believe the Carmanah lights will be an excellent complement to Sabik’s marine product family.” Sarvikivi added that he expects future joint product development that will combine the best of Carmanah and Sabik’s technology to bring new products to the marine lighting market. The investment, which was supported by Wirral Council and The Mersey Partnership (TMP), who helped secure additional funding of 300,000 pounds from the Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA), is expected to enable SAFC Hitech to strengthen its position as a leading global supplier of TMG and satisfy the growing demand for the material in the production of high brightness LEDs (HBLEDs) for use in applications such as backlighting in flat panel television sets and energy efficient lighting. Reducing energy consumption and extending energy efficiency a...
