Fujitsu Laboratories Develops Power-Saving CMOS Technology for 32nm-Generation and BeyondFujitsu Laboratories Limited announced today the development of power-saving CMOS technology for logic LSI chips for 32 nanometer- (32nm-) generation and beyond. The new technology enables employment of a specific silicon crystal surface, which previously had not been applied in silicon substrates due to the crystal surface's conventionally low performance in the past, by improving its performance. As a result, as a world's first, the technology makes it possible to use current 45nm-generation fabrication facilities to reduce LSI power voltage without lowering operation speed, thereby containing production costs and cutting LSI power consumption during operation by approximately 20 percent (20%). It is anticipated that the technology can be used in a wide range of applications, such as system LSIs for various mobile devices that will need to be increasingly multi-functional, and for microprocessors of which many are running with multiple processing cores.

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Diodes Incorporated (NASDAQ:DIOD), a leading global manufacturer and supplier of high-quality application specific standard products within the broad discrete and analog semiconductor markets, today announced that it has further expanded its Zetex ZXLD LED driver series with the introduction of three new miniature LED drivers offering improved accuracy and thermal performance. Provided in TSOT23-5 and thermally-enhanced DFN6 packages, the highly integrated ZXLD1352, ZXLD1356 and ZXLD1366 deliver adjustable output currents of 350mA, 550mA and 1A, respectively, and are designed for a broad range of automotive, architectural and industrial lighting applications.
With a typical output current accuracy better than one percent, ZXLD1356 and ZXLD1366 LED drivers provide highly accurate current matching at working voltages up to 60V. Capable of producing output powers of 30W and 48W, respectively, these TSOT23-5 and 3.0 mm x 3.0 mm DFN6 packaged LED drivers will support up to 15 LEDs in an array of applications that require minimum footprint and maximum efficiency.
Operating from a 7V to 30V supply and capable of producing an output current up to 350mA, the 2.8 mm x 2.9 mm TSOT23-5 packaged ZXLD1352 LED driver can provide up to 8W of power for driving chains up to 10 LEDs. With a large PWM dimming ratio of 1000:1, the ZXLD1352 offers highly flexible brightness control and accurate color mixing.
The ZXLD series of continuous mode inductive step-down LED drivers are characterized by their simplicity of configuration and only require three simple external discrete components. Nominal output current, set by a resistor, is easily adjusted by applying a PWM or DC voltage control signal to precisely match users' brightness requirements, and a low-level control signal turns the output off to put the LED driver into standby.
