Dear Reader

As we reflect on the global events of the last 12 months, very few of us are likely to describe 2008 as uneventful. Now, however, it is time to put 2008 behind us and consider how best to address the challenges that lie ahead in 2009.

For companies in the electronics sector, the key to success in even the most challenging market conditions lies in the ability to innovate. Innovation is fundamental to addressing evolving customer demands, creating and maintaining competitive advantage, matching costs to market expectations and keeping time-to-market windows as short as possible.

Arrow has always recognised the need to provide the products and technical resources needed to support its customers’ innovation and creativity. Indeed, one of our aims is to be the partner of choice not just for purchasers looking for a broad range of products but for the R&D departments and engineering project teams tasked with creating and delivering innovative ideas.

Key to supporting innovative design is the ability to offer the very latest on- and off-board technologies, from smaller, faster and more efficient semiconductors to advanced passive, e-mech and interconnection products. In addition, as design teams look to focus their efforts on their core competencies, they require their distribution partners to offer system-level solutions – solutions that they can quickly and easily integrate into a design to deliver the requisite performance and functionality with minimum design overhead. To address this demand, Arrow continues to expand its range of platform-level technologies including wireless modules, power supplies, single-board computers and displays.

But it’s not just about the technology. Support for innovation also requires dedicated technical and engineering resources – another area in which Arrow continues to invest. As a result, our customerfacing teams can help with every aspect of a design, from initial concept and selection, through design-in of components and solutions, to prototyping and final manufacture.

We look forward to supporting your design and manufacturing activities in 2009 and beyond. In the meantime, should you have any comments or queries on any of the stories covered in this, or other issues, of Arrow Innovation, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

A new series of integrated, high-efficiency and compact power LED drivers from Recom International will significantly simplify the implementation of LED-based lighting applications.

The Recom International RCD-24 series of step-down constant current sources has been specifically designed to provide a compact, fully featured and highly efficient solution for driving high-power white LEDs.

Offering current outputs of 300mA, 350mA, 500mA, 600mA and 700mA, the RCD-24 series allows designers to implement lighting designs using LEDs from a variety of manufacturers without the need for additional external components. Furthermore, a compact form factor means that the drivers can be incorporated directly into the LED lamp fixtures. Alternatively, designers can mount the modules separately so that they can be installed or exchanged as easily as any other light fitting.

Despite their compact size, Recom’s RCD-24 drivers integrate a high level of functionality, including both analogue and PWM/digital dimming control. The dimming controls are fully independent and can be combined to offer maximum design flexibility. There is also a remote on/off function for energy saving applications.

The new drivers are based on a non-isolated, buck regulator topology and feature a very wide DC input voltage range of 4.5V to 36V to accommodate the widest possible range of design requirements. With efficiency levels up to 97%, the internal power losses are so low that RCD-24 devices can be used in ambient temperatures of up to +85°C at full load. The high-efficiency buck regulator topology is also behind the compact construction, with each driver measuring just 22.1mm x 12.6mm x 8.5mm.

Each module in the new series can be supplied with either six pins or with four 110mm flying pre-tinned leads, ideal for pcb-less applications. Operating temperature range (without derating) is from -40°C to either +71°C or +85°C depending on the model chosen. EMC compatibility with EN 55022 Class B is easily achieved through the addition of just two further components, with another four ceramic capacitors providing compatibility with EN 61000-4-2,

-3, -4 and -6.

Reliability is up to 516k hours, which is longer than the LED the RCD series drives.

New applications for switching relays continue to emerge in industrial and domestic electrical circuits. Omron has responded to this trend with the launch of new devices, including new high temperature relays meeting the latest standards for cookers and heater controls, relays that tolerate high inrush currents and are suitable for low energy lighting and new versions of its most popular industrial control relay.

The new G2RL-1A-E-CV is rated for use at temperatures up to 20ºC higher than the standard type, tolerating up to +105ºC. It also offers superior switching performance with longer electrical endurance of up to 100,000 operations switching 16A at 250VAC and +105ºC.

Available in 24 different models, this PCB relay family is suitable for use in ovens, washing machines, boilers and HVAC equipment. A high sensitivity type, the G2RL-H, has a coil sensitivity of 250mW and is available with a UL 1446 Class F coil insulation system. The relays conform to VDE (EN 61810-1/EN 60255-23) and UL 508/ CSA C22.2 standards and meet VDE0700 regulations for safety of household and similar electrical appliances, with insulation according to VDE0110.

The G5RL-1A-E HR is a low profile relay (29.0mm x 12.7mm x

15.7mm), capable of handling high inrush currents such as those typically encountered in driving fluorescent or incandescent lamps in emergency lighting systems and appliance control applications. The relay is TV5 rated by UL and is approved to 100A steady-state, 10A(RMS), both at 240VAC for 50,000 operations by VDE. It is available with rated DC coil voltages of 5V, 12V, 24V and 48V, allowing 50,000 operations with a resistive load, bearing 16A at 250VAC or 24VDC.

A new quiet version of the G5RL, aimed at domestic applications ranging from panel heaters to video games, creates a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) of typically just 45dB at a distance of 15cm when switching.

Omron has also added four new versions to its G6RL family, designed for industrial and HVAC applications. The G6RL-ASI achieves double the standard switching performance through the use of silver-tin-indium contacts. It is rated for 100,000 operations at 8A, 250VAC. In its Normally Open (NO) form, the device achieves even higher performance of 100,000 operations at 10A, 250VAC.

For high inrush applications, the G6RL-PL type offers an even longer life of 250,000 operations with an inrush current of 20A and a steady current of 2A, allowing it to meet P1 load conditions for HVAC/boiler applications. The G6RL-SR shock resistant type and G6RL-1(A)4 fully sealed type complete the new product line-up.

As environmental concerns and sustainability become more important, interest is growing in solar power generation. Tyco Electronics supplies a number of core components that may be used in PhotoVoltaic (PV) solar modules, both in domestic and commercial installations.

PV solar energy systems typically consist of a generator and a power inverter with a connection to the public power grid. The connection is bi-directional, allowing power to be taken from, or fed to, the grid. Such an arrangement is subject to special standards and regulations to ensure safety and prevent system damage.

Safety measures require an automatic switching unit with a circuit break function between the generator and feed-in point. Switching units must comply with DIN standard V VDE V 0126-1-1; the most important part of this standard is the need for a contact gap larger than 1.5mm at each switched pole.

For PV systems with galvanic isolation and single-phase AC feed-in, at least two normally open relay contacts are needed, one each for the phase and neutral lines. In PV systems with no galvanic isolation, both of the switches mounted in series must be electromechanical components.

Tyco Electronics offers a variety of solutions for solar generation systems from its RM, 041083 and PCFN product families. The PCFN Solar, for instance, is a normally open monostable relay that occupies a printed circuit area of just 490mm² and dissipates very little power. It has a continuous contact rating of 26A and the required 1.5mm contact gap. Pull-in power of 1.5W is required for

0.1s for secure operation, after which the power of the coil can be reduced to a hold level of 200mW.

Although electromechanical relays are already mandatory for interconnection to the power grid, they are also useful for coupling the PV generator to the inverter electronics. Use of a component

such as the Tyco Electronics EV 200 allows implementation of special features such as remote on/off switching, service disconnection and reversible emergency shutdown in the event of a fault. The EV 200 can accommodate voltages up to 900VDC and current requirements up to 200A.

Relays may also be used in PV systems for interface functions and for internal monitoring, test and diagnostic purposes. Relays with large contact gaps such as the RP920145 are often required for such applications.

Connectors in today’s medical applications must function at higher speeds, provide higher density, smaller footprint and lower profiles and comply to ever stricter industry standards. FCI provides a range of solutions for imaging, data storage devices, communication systems, image archiving and online manipulation of images in the medical industry.

Scalability is an important feature that can make medical systems upgradeable to keep pace with market trends. For example, FCI’s AirMax VS® high-speed backplane connectors offer design versatility because signal connectors can be scaled by varying the number of columns of contacts, the number of contacts per column and the column spacing.

AirMax VS connectors also allow for mixed pin assignments (differential or single-ended signals or power) to provide additional flexibility to system designers. Data rates can scale from 2.5Gbit/s to beyond 12Gbit/s without requiring re-design of a basic platform. Medical equipment continually requires better performance, but the designer’s task is eased if the architecture remains intact as the specification evolves.

Improvements in flex cable connector technology enable advances in the performance of mobile monitoring, field operable CT and portable ultrasound systems. Examples are FCI’s MEG-Array® flex foil or BergStak®/Conan® on flex foil for less demanding applications.

For scanning applications, the MEG-Array high-density mezzanine system is suitable for both hospital systems and portable scans. It provides the features needed for MRI, CT and other imaging applications to achieve real time, higher resolution imaging.

Used to connect the photo diode within the scanner, MEG-Array’s higher density allows a greater number of slices, resulting in more accurate imaging. Additionally, MEG-Array delivers outstanding mechanical and electrical performance, achieving data rates of up to 10Gbit/s.

New industry standards such as USB, PCI, RJ45, DVI, MicroTCA and PCI Express™ are also being incorporated into medical designs. PCI Express, in particular, is finding growing acceptance in medical equipment. FCI has extended its vertical PCI Express card-edge connector family with surface mount technology to accommodate the needs of this market.

Traditionally, ultrasound systems have used standards based architectures like CompactPCI bus or VMEbus, but with backplane performance hitting the limitations of standard architectures, there is a clear need for connector technologies that offer higher performance and higher reliability at a reasonable cost. Card-edge technology is a logical choice for these backplane connections.

The use of surface mount PCIe Express card-edge connectors is not limited to backplane connections, but is also being used by ultrasound manufacturers to improve manufacturing yields for board to board connections.

Samtec makes one of the widest selections of high speed, high reliability, board to board interconnects.

Samtec’s Q-Series® offers the popular Q-Strip® single-ended and Q-Pairs® differential interconnects for high speed, controlled impedance applications. Their design minimises impedance mismatch and crosstalk and optimises capacitance and inductance. Q-Strip and Q-Pairs are available in 0.5mm pitch (QTH, QSH),

0.635mm (QTS, QSS) and 0.8mm pitch (QTE, QSE). The 9.5A rated, integral ground/power plane has SMT leads to save board space. The 0.8mm pitch Q-Pairs carry <8.5GHz per pair rating at -3dB insertion loss.

Second generation, Q2™ high speed interconnects suit rugged applications thanks to greater insertion depth, optional retention pins that almost double the unmating force, guideposts and optional locking screws/holes. All Q2 products offer optional EMI shielding, power pins rated up to 3A per pin and MMCX scale RF connectors.

The ERM8 and ERF8 interconnects use the Edge Rate contact system for smaller pitch and high speed, reduced broadside coupling and capacitance. Rated at 10.5GHz, the system is rugged, handles more mating cycles than other high-speed systems and can be zippered for mating and unmating. They are available in 7mm, 9mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, and 16mm stack heights with <150 pins on a 0.8mm centreline.

High-density array configurations provide high speed, controlled impedance, board to board interfaces with much higher pin counts than traditional strip connectors, increasing board routing flexibility and grounds. The extra pins available for grounding reduce crosstalk, allowing elevated board stacking.

Several footprints, stack heights and contact designs are available to meet a variety of applications. SEARAY®, and HD Mezz* for elevated board stacking, are 1.27 x 1.27 open-pin field arrays that can map as single-ended configurations in differential pairs or a combination. SEARAY and HD Mezz are available from Samtec and Molex. DPArray® has a staggered pin design; perimeter ground

pins reduce the number of grounds needed, providing easier board routing, fewer board layers and more differential pairs per square inch.

Samtec offers Data Rate cable systems for flexibility and high speed. At 31cm length, in single-ended configurations, Data Rate cable assemblies are rated at 2.57GHz (EQCD series) and

1.87GHz (HQCD) at -3dB insertion loss. Maximum performance of these cable assemblies can be higher. These cable assemblies are preferable when an application requires low crosstalk, low EMI emission and susceptibility, higher frequency, less loss or lower voltage drop. They are ideal when mechanical routings are challenging, for high flex and crush life; they suit applications from 200mm to 3m.

Panasonic’s ERA 2A, 3A and 6A high reliability type, metal thin film chip resistors are extremely well suited to applications in the automotive, transportation, medical and measurement industries.

These new ERA-type devices achieve outstanding reliability and stability at high temperatures and humidity. Their construction uses a newly developed, highly reliable, metal thin film technology in conjunction with a moisture resistant overcoat.

Available in 0402, 0603 and 0805 package sizes with power ratings of 0.063W, 0.1W and 0.125W respectively, the resistors are designed for a wide operating temperature range from a low

-55°C and up to +155°C (1000 hours ±0.1%) and are AEC-Q200 rated.

The devices exhibit a small resistance tolerance and Temperature Coefficient of Resistance (TCR) and are therefore highly accurate. Low current noise and excellent non-linearity contribute to their high performance.

The device values range from 10Ω to 1MΩ, with a choice of ±0.1% or ±0.5% tolerance. TCR values as low as 25ppm/°C are attainable. The ERA3AEBxxxV in 0603 and ERA6AEBxxxV in 0805, for example, feature ±0.1% accuracy and TCRs of 25ppm/°C.

Some Syfer high voltage multilayer ceramic capacitors now offer double the capacitance thanks to breakthroughs in ceramic materials and manufacturing technology. The ability to reduce package size, or increase capacitance range in the same package size, will prove critical to meet today’s tight design constraints.

Already one of the most extensive high-voltage capacitor families available, Syfer now offers higher values. In most case sizes from 0805 to 1812, for example, Syfer offers the highest capacitance 1kV MLCCs in the market. Devices in the range from 500V to 1.5kV are of particular interest to power supply and DC/DC converter designers in the telecoms, military and aerospace markets.

Higher capacitance is available without increasing package size; the 1206 1.5kV capacitor, for example, now offers an impressive 10nF, up from 2.7nF. Many devices offer double the capacitance of earlier versions. The 1812 1kV device has increased from 56nF to 100nF.

If physical space is critical, Syfer’s new devices offer the possibility of a smaller case size, resulting in reduced board space requirements and lower costs. For example, a 1kV, 1nF capacitor previously offered in a 1206 package is now available in the 0805 case size and a 1kV 10nF part, previously in a 1812 footprint, is now offered in a 1206 package.

These extensions give engineers a broader choice of high-voltage devices to optimise their designs for performance and package size, while ensuring they are cost effective to meet tight budgetary constraints.

For added reliability, Syfer offers its FlexiCap™ polymer-termination option as an alternative to a standard plated termination. Syfer received the Queen’s Award for Innovation, the most coveted commercial award in the UK, for this development in 2008.

FlexiCap accommodates a greater degree of board flex than a conventional termination and reduces the chance of mechanical cracking. Devices meet RoHS standards with lead-free terminations. However, for exempt applications, versions with tin-lead contacts are available. Syfer can also offer additional testing services to meet the most stringent quality standards.

MICROCONTROLLER

SOLUTIONS

Low-end motor control applications require increasingly sophisticated control algorithms to squeeze improvements in energy efficiency from the new generation of motors. The SH/Tiny from Renesas is designed to meet these needs, and to bring design advantages when compared to standard digital signal processors.

The 50MHz SH/Tiny devices, designated DF7125xx50Fxx, have been designed with a focus on the details of motor control; Renesas believes that for this reason they represent a quantum leap in the cost-performance ratio of low-end motor drives.

The MCUs are based on a simple, easily understood architecture, which is optimised for C programming. Designers are supported with a free optimising compiler that produces high-quality code. Simplicity is also provided by the use of a single 5V power supply with a typical run current of 52mA. The designer can therefore employ a standard power supply in a standard package.

The SH/Tiny includes two channels of 10-bit, 5V A/D conversion, providing improved noise resistance when compared with 3V alternatives.

To enable safety features, the SH/Tiny has an internal watchdog timer that will continue to run even if the external oscillator stops. EMC behaviour is another important contributor to safe operation: here the SH/Tiny offers best-in-class performance. Renesas also provides free software routines to meet the IEC 60730-1 standard.

The heart of the SH/Tiny’s motor control capabilities is a specially designed timer block, MTU2, that includes six channels of 16-bit timers, supporting three-phase PWM capability with automatic dead-time insertion and compensation. The devices also feature a quadrature encoder feedback capability and a channel that can measure actual dead times, enabling closed loop control for higher motor efficiency.

Each of the two ADCs can be triggered by the MTU2 with an additional, defined delay time to support algorithms such as single-

shunt motor drive. Port output-enable pins provide a hardware connection to shut down the timer quickly and deterministically when necessary.

Equipped with 8Kbyte SRAM and options of 128Kbyte, 64Kbyte or 32Kbyte Flash, the SH/Tiny has very fast Flash programming and erase times (1ms and 1.2s, respectively per 128bytes), which can save significant cost in the production flow. The use of Renesas’ MONOS Flash technology allows the devices to run at full speed without wait states.

The devices include three SCIs (Serial Communications Interfaces). Package options are 64- or 48-pin LQFP or 52- or 64-pin QFN, depending on precise configuration. Temperature range variants of

-20°C to +85°C or -40°C to +85°C are available.

Reduced Environmental Impact

The advantage of an LED backlight includes reduced power consumption and the ability to dispense with the high voltage inverters required for CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) backlit displays. As a result, LED backlit displays have superior weight, electrical noise and power characteristics as well as providing a wider, adjustable luminance range.

Additionally, such displays also reduce environmental impact since they are virtually mercury-free and do not require the high voltages and high frequencies required to control luminance in CCFL displays. This increases the flexibility of system design in terms of safety, ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI) compensation and system architecture.

The VBUS051BD-HD1 from Vishay Semiconductors is an ESD, single line protection diode providing 0.9pF typical and

1.3pF maximum capacitance in the new LLP1006 package; its 0.6mm by 1.0mm footprint and ultra-low profile of

0.38mm saves board space. It is highly suited to ESD protection of portable electronics in mobile computing, mobile communication, consumer, industrial and medical applications.

The VBUS051BD-HD1 provides transient protection for one data line at ±15kV contact discharge in compliance with IEC 61000-4-2 (ESD) and for a peak pulse current of 3A (tp=8/20µs) in accordance with IEC 61000-4-5 (surge immunity). Its new, compact LLP package uses an environmentally friendly ‘green’ moulding compound and it features a low maximum leakage current of 0.1µA at 5V and a maximum clamping voltage of 15V at 3A. Breakthrough voltage ratings are 8.7V (maximum) and 7.9V (typical) at 1mA. The diode is compliant with RoHS 2002/95/EC and WEEE 2002/96/EC.

VBUS051BD-HD1 Electrical Characteristics

POWER AND LINEAR IC

SOLUTIONS

Even short duration, high voltage power spikes threaten the electronics in automotive and industrial applications although they may only last from a few µs to hundreds of ms. Critical electronic subsystems must survive these transients, rejecting surges, spikes and transients; in many applications, they must also operate reliably throughout such events.

Linear Technology has developed a new means of blocking surges, spikes and transients commonly found in automotive and industrial systems. The LT4356 eliminates the need for bulky filtering components while isolating low-voltage circuitry from damage. The regulating action eliminates the need for highvoltage rated components downstream of the LT4356, allowing use of inexpensive low-voltage components.

The LT4356 surge stopper implements a series-pass regulator with an external N-channel MOSFET, as can be seen in the diagram of a typical application circuit. Under normal conditions, the LT4356 drives the MOSFET fully on so that input power passes directly through to the load circuitry with little loss. If the input voltage rises beyond a set threshold, the LT4356 begins regulating the output at a safe level.

After the surge has dissipated, the LT4356 returns to normal operation or disconnects the output if the fault persists.

In addition to voltage regulation, the LT4356 offers overcurrent and reverse input protection and a ‘micropower’ shutdown state that reduces supply current to about 7µA. The LT4356 limits inrush current at turn-on by soft-starting the MOSFET.

The LT4356 tolerates reverse voltage down to -60V on its input and can drive a second reverse-blocking MOSFET to stop the reverse

voltage passing through to the load. The LT4356’s wide operating voltage range, from 4V minimum to 100V absolute maximum, enables it to operate in systems where the input voltage may sag on the low side as well as surge on the high side of nominal.

The LT4356 surge stopper offers solid front-end protection for electronic control systems. Compared to blocking diodes and filter inductors, it absorbs less board space and reduces heat dissipation and voltage loss. Its higher efficiency and wider usable voltage range allow designers to incorporate more functionality into spaceconstrained products.

The LTC3853 is a highly efficient, synchronous step-down switching regulator, DC/DC controller with three outputs and numerous features that include output voltage tracking, Burst Mode® operation and pulse skipping, which safely powers pre-biased loads.

The latest device in Linear Technology’s next generation of stepdown controllers, the LTC3853, complements the LTC3850 dual output and LTC3851 single output controllers. It has a 4.5V to 24V (28V

max

) input voltage range and can be powered from most

intermediate bus voltages and battery chemistries.

The illustration shows a simplified schematic and the package of the LTC3853 step-down DC/DC converter. Strong onboard gate drivers power all N-channel MOSFET stages. Each stage can produce output currents up to 20A per channel with output voltages ranging from 0.8V to 13.5V on one channel and from

0.8V to 5.5V on the other two channels, making it ideal for point of load regulator requirements in medical, datacom, telecom, industrial, automotive applications, displays and set top boxes.

Its constant frequency, current-mode architecture provides a selectable fixed or synchronisable frequency from 250kHz to 750kHz using Phase Lock Loop (PLL). Operating the three channels 120º out of phase minimises power loss and supply noise. The LTC3853 can also be configured with one output channel 180º out of phase from channels two and three. True current-mode control enables stable operation over a wide range of output capacitance and ESR values, including all ceramic capacitors for the smallest solution size. It has current foldback to limit MOSFET heat dissipation during short circuit and overload conditions.

Additionally, the LTC3853 can be configured with DCR (inductor) current sensing to maximise efficiency and has a minimum on time of only 90ns for applications requiring high step-down ratios. An onboard regulator develops its own internal IC bias voltage and an adjustable soft-start controls the turn-on time. A precision 0.8V reference has ±1% accuracy over a -40ºC to +125ºC operating temperature range.

With up to 98% duty cycle, the LTC3853 has a very low dropout voltage, a useful feature for extending run times in battery powered applications.

The LTC3853 is offered in a thermally enhanced 6mm x 6mm QFN-40 package.

POWER AND LINEAR IC

LEDs and LED displays suffer varying illumination levels as the power supply voltage changes. This affects displays used in automotive applications, battery operated handheld devices or fixed architectural installations.

To keep LED brightness constant needs a stable current over the anticipated variation in power supply voltage. The usual method of a resistor in series with the LEDs has serious drawbacks: the resistor must present a large near-infinite resistance but this produces a large voltage drop across it. Additional parallel resistors are necessary to drive a given number of LEDs, increasing current consumption. Secondly, series resistors waste power as heat.

Infineon’s LED driver family overcomes all the drawbacks and offers an easy, cost effective and reliable way to achieve LED current stabilisation. The BCR 401R, BCR 402R, BCR 402U and BCR 405U cover the most common LED supply current ranges, 10mA, 20mA and 50mA and enable easy adjustment upwards from the nominal driver current value by adding a single external resistor. Voltage drop with these ICs is only 0.75V, maximising DC efficiency. A negative temperature coefficient protects LEDs against thermal runaway. The ICs are small, in surface mounted SOT143R packages.

For applications requiring even higher LED currents, Infineon offers powerful linear and DC/DC switched constant-current drivers. The TLE 424x linear LED driver family consists of three different drivers covering a current range from 60mA (TLE 4240-3) to 500mA (TLE 4242G). All parts have on-chip diagnostics and comprehensive protection mechanisms. Maximum permissible input voltage is 45V, making this part attractive also for higher board voltages (for trucks, tractors etc.). All parts are ROHS compliant and available in the full automotive temperature range, -40°C to +150°C.

High brightness LEDs with currents exceeding the 500mA limit can be driven with Infineon’s DC/DC switched constant-current LED drivers, offering solutions up to 2.3A continuous current. In terms of highest input voltage and output current, the TLE 6389-2GV is an excellent choice with 60V maximum input voltage and 2.3A maximum output current. This part combines high output voltage accuracy with special features like reset circuitry and battery low detector.

In terms of highest integration and small package solutions, Infineon is also offering a 1.8A DC/DC switching regulator in a PG-SO8 package. The TLE8366-GV incorporates the control IC, power switch and protection circuitry. Moreover only five or six additional external parts are necessary to realise a switched regulator.

NXP Semiconductors’ High Performance Automotive (HPA) TrenchMOS™ family of MOSFETs has specific features to satisfy the high power requirements of safety and comfort systems and improve system performance throughout the car.

Vehicles contain multiple features that make driving more comfortable, convenient and safer, such as engine management units, catalytic converters, ABS, passenger restraint systems, power assisted steering and electric windows, mirrors and seats. Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) systems, for example, require around 1kW while pump and fan motors draw between 500W and 800W. Other applications, such as electric braking, turbochargers or valve train control, also consume high power with an Integrated Starter Alternator (ISA) requiring <10kW.

Such high power demands mean drawing higher current levels from the standard 14V automotive supply. Power MOSFETs need to provide the large current handling capability in standard, inexpensive discrete packages without the need for large arrays of devices and at minimum heat dissipation, even when operated for long periods.

The HPA TrenchMOS products are extremely rugged with very low on-state resistance and an excellent balance of current handling, low dissipation and cost-effectiveness in industry standard packages, supremely suited to the automotive environment. HPA devices meet today’s electrical power demands and are flexible enough for future automotive innovations. Devices are available in 30V, 40V, 55V, 75V and 100V versions.

An established leader in proven Trench technology, NXP has advanced capabilities to the next level with an innovative stripe configuration for the MOSFET cells that allows smaller cell pitch – and hence lower on-state resistance - without a corresponding increase in capacitance and gate charge. Consequently, HPA devices offer faster switching for a given RDSon, leading to an outstanding combination of size, reliability, efficiency and performance that reduces system costs without cutting back on functionality. Devices fabricated using this process are 20% more rugged than previous generations, allowing HPA devices to perform to their maximum potential even in the harshest automotive environments. With enhanced avalanche capability, they are rated for temperatures between -55°C and +175°C and are fully compliant with the AEC Q101 standard stress test qualification for discrete semiconductors.

As space efficiency becomes an important factor in system design, the HPA family maximises the performance available from small footprints.

Devices are available in a wide range of compact, standard packages including TO220, D²PAK, LFPAK and DPAK as well as Known Good Die (KGD) with the added benefit of even lower RDSon values.

Texas Instruments’ AFE58xx Analogue Front End (AFE) devices integrate multiple high-performance analogue circuits, providing superior image quality for a wide range of ultrasound applications. The devices consume less power and are more than 50% smaller than comparable devices in the market.

Despite their small size and low power, all four devices in the series maintain low noise figures, allowing designers to offer portable and handheld ultrasound systems with longer battery life and better image quality.

The AFE5805 provides low power consumption and low noise for portable to mid-range ultrasound systems. It offers 122mW per channel power efficiency and a noise figure of 0.85nV/√Hz at 2MHz, making it suitable not only for portable equipment but also for high channel density mid-range systems.

The device integrates eight Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) channels, voltage controlled attenuator, programmable gain amplifier, low pass filter and a 12-bit 50MSPS Analogue/Digital Converter (ADC) with LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signalling) data outputs.

The AFE5804 is pin to pin compatible and allows migration to a lower power solution, 102mW/channel at 1.25nV/√Hz and 40MSPS. Mode control enables flexibility when programming the level of noise and power consumption to optimise a system.

Both the AFE5805 and the AFE5804 are available in a 15mm x 9mm package.

The newest parts in the family, the AFE5851 and AFE5801, reduce power consumption and package size further to support the new market for handheld ultrasound systems. The AFE5851 is the first 16-channel AFE for the ultrasound market. Both devices are available in an ultra-small 9mm x 9mm package.

The AFE5851 features a power efficiency of 39mW/channel at

32.5MSPS. It integrates 16 VGAs (Variable Gain Amplifiers) and eight 12-bit 65MSPS ADCs. Each ADC is therefore shared between two VGAs and each VGA differential output is sampled at alternate clock cycles to optimise power efficiency. The ADC has scalable power consumption to reduce power use with lower sampling rates. The AFE5851’s high channel count and low power features allow for increased channel density in handheld systems.

The AFE5801 offers 50mW/channel at 30MSPS and 58mW/ channel at 50MSPS. It integrates eight VGAs and eight 12-bit 65MSPS ADCs with LVDS data outputs.

Toshiba Electronics Europe has expanded its family of System on Chip (SoC) motor drive solutions with a three phase, sine wave PWM driver. They reduce component count and noise and improve the efficiency of BrushLess DC (BLDC) motor applications.

The TB6585FG Application Specific Standard Product (ASSP) is a complete motor driver solution that integrates commutation logic, sine wave PWM generation, Hall sensor amplification, motor drive power stage and protection functionality into a single, 36-pin HSOP package. Designed for <45W power and a wide 4.5V to 36V input range, the IC can deliver a maximum current of 1.8A. It suits a range of applications, including home appliances, pumps, fans and industrial motion control.

An analogue signal input enables the TB6585FG to modify the PWM duty cycle and control forward or reverse motor rotation speed. Combining a triangular waveform generated on-chip with the buffered, amplified inputs from three Hall effect sensors generates three modulated, synchronised commutation waveforms to drive the motor.

By providing sinusoidal waveforms to drive the motor phases, the TB6585FG helps minimise electrical and acoustic noise when polarities in the driver circuit switch between positive and negative. This promotes more efficient operation, helps to reduce vibrations and enhances reliability. The ability to control lead angle allows a designer to tune the delay between current and voltage phases, which further improves efficiency in the target application.

The TB6585FG offers configurable modes for improving motor startup characteristics and has inbuilt protection against overcurrent conditions. An ability to detect excessive commutation frequency and low rotation speed also improves design flexibility.

Analog Devices has launched several new members of its digital isolation and iCoupler product families. The new additions include automotive versions of its digital isolation products, the ADuM5230 isolated half-bridge driver, ADuM540x digitally isolated DC/DC converters and a number of isolated transceiver products.

The ADuM120x, ADuM130x and ADuM140x families of iCoupler digital isolators are now qualified to AEC-Q100 for use in underthe-hood automotive applications. Available in eight- and 16-lead SOIC packaging, the devices offer data rates up to 25Mbit/s, 3.0V to 5.5V level translation and low power consumption. Applications include hybrid vehicle functions such as battery monitoring, motor drives, DC/AC inverters and electronic power steering. They can also be employed in any vehicle type as an interface for sensor clusters.

Analog Devices’ ADuM5230 is an isolated half-bridge gate driver that provides independent and isolated high-side and low-side outputs. Supplying 150mW of power, it contains an integrated DC/ DC converter, eliminating cost, space and performance difficulties associated with external supply configurations.

Also integrating an isolated DC/DC converter for simpler system design, the ADuM540x series of quad-channel digital isolators provides four independent isolation channels in a variety of channel configurations and data rates.

The ADM3251E is a high speed, single channel 2.5kV isolated RS-232 transceiver that operates from a single power supply with 15kV ESD protection on the bus pins. Its high level of protection suits it for operation in electrically harsh environments or where cables are frequently being plugged and unplugged.

For RS485/422 applications, the ADM2482E/ADM2487E are believed to be the industry’s fastest integrated 2.5kV isolated data transceivers with transformer driver functionality. The devices combine a three-channel 2.5kV UL and VDE certified isolator, a three-state differential line driver and a differential input receiver into a single package.

For RS-485/422 transceiver applications that require a higher isolation rating, the ADM2484E offers 5kV UL and VDE certification and enhanced ESD protection of ±15kV on the bus pins. The device also has current-limiting and thermal shutdown features to protect against output short circuits and situations where bus contention might cause excessive power dissipation.

A new series of high-power LED modules for lighting purposes provides illumination levels of up to 540lm. With a power consumption of only 6.7W, the new Zenigata series brings LED technology into the category of 60W equivalent lamps.

Sharp says that a light yield of up to 80lm/W ranks the new series amongst the best performers in the field in terms of energy efficiency. The modules also exhibit excellent operating lifetime specifications of 40,000 hours at +80°C, reducing maintenance requirements and hence lifetime cost.

Divided into 16 parallel-switched series of three, the new modules consist of a matrix of 48 LED chips that provide an overall light output of between 350lm and 540lm. A complementary 190lm to 280lm series consists of 30 LED chips arranged as ten parallelswitched series of three.

For both series, an aluminium-ceramic plate measuring 18mm x 18mm x 1.5mm is used as a substrate. This is supplied ready-drilled with mounting holes, making it possible to fix the modules securely to a suitable cooling element quickly and simply.

The colour temperature of these white light LED lighting modules lies within a range of 2,800K to 6,500K. Four tones are available: normal, warm (comparable to a light bulb) and two types of High Colour Rendering (HCR).

By using two slightly different phosphorus compounds, the HCR LEDs attain a Colour Rendering Index (CRI) value of 90. They thus provide high colour veracity and detail fidelity – essential in applications where the use of artificial light must not distort image quality. HCR LED modules are therefore in demand in areas such as photography, display window decoration and goods presentation, as well as in medical technology, for instance for surgery lights.

Sharp’s LED light modules are generally suitable for a wide range of applications. These include interior illumination, for example in study, reading and desk lamps; decorative lighting; direct and indirect lighting, for instance for kitchen work surfaces; as spotlights for stages and building sites and as components for large LED displays. They are also a long-lasting solution for reading lamps on public transport such as trains, aeroplanes and buses.

The high-power modules of the 540lm series are particularly useful in retrofit situations when conventional incandescent lamps are directly replaced for the sake of lifetime cost and high energy efficiency.
