MULTI-LAYER CHIP VARISTORS
Will protect LED’s from ESD damage. White and Blue LED’s are most susceptible to ESD
damage. MLCVs are available in a wide variety of values.
- ESD suppression
- Accommodate Series LED Combinations
- Can Replace (2) Zener Diodes and (1) Capacitor
THERMAL MANAGEMENT
MULTI-LAYER CHIP THERMISTORS
Can aid in the control of LED circuits. Elevated junction temperatures can reduce expected life, resulting in the need for temperature control. This begins with temperature sensing.
- Brightness Control
- Overheating Prevention
PYROLYTIC GRAPHITE SHEET
PGS is a heat spreading material with several times the thermal conductivity of copper in its plane.
- Spreads Heat From Hot Spots, Allowing More Effi cient Heat Sinking
- Highly Flexible
- Can Be Die Cut to Custom Shapes
I/O CONTROL
RF MODULES
RF Modules are an excellent choice for lighting control applications. Two series in Panasonic’s RF Module product line are well suited for lighting control:
- Mesh Networking — Complex, multi-node networks are most easily implemented using SNAP® (Synapse Network Application Protocol) modules such as the PAN4555 and PAN4561. SNAP networks don’t require the use of a coordinator, making them more reliable than other network topologies.
- ISM — With their tiny footprint, ISM modules are Panasonic’s most aggressively priced and smallest RF Modules. The PAN2355 series are versatile and ideal for proprietary networks.
ELECTROMECHANICAL
Panasonic offers tactile switches and linear potentiometers for lighting control applications,
that can be found in cars, offices, homes and flashlights.
- Panasonic Long Stroke Switches Provide Less Finger Fatigue and Accident-Free Actuation.
- Center Space Switches Allow For LED Integration
- 20mm Slide Potentiometers Provide Smooth Dimming Control

U.S.-BASED EPSON TOYOCOM TIMING PRODUCTS DIVISION EXPANDS
AND ADVANCES HIGH-ACCURACY CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR LINE-UP
New SG-211S*E Series supports
low voltage, high temperature applications
El Segundo,CA -July 14, 2009 - Epson
Toyocom Corporation's U.S.-based Timing Products Division
today announced the "SG-211S*E" series of compact, highly
accurate simple clock oscillators (SPXO). The new crystal
oscillators, with increased capabilities, support voltages
as low as 1.8 V and temperatures as high as 90°C. Sample
pricing is estimated at approximately $7.00 each.
Epson Toyocom has long been offering a line of compact
and highly accurate SPXO for use as reference clocks in
wireless networks, Bluetooth, and other short range communication
applications. Applications for even smaller wireless devices
are on the rise, as are the temperatures of components
contained in compact housings. The new SG series fills
this need for high temperature support in addition to a
strong industry demand for low voltages necessary to maximize
battery run time.
Epson Toyocom has upgraded its already compact and highly
accurate crystal oscillators with support for voltages
as low as 1.8 V and a frequency tolerance of ±15 × 10-6
at temperatures up to 90°C. The SG-211S*E series
also has 5 dB (detuning frequency: 1 kHz) lower phase noise(*1)
than earlier products, making it an excellent choice for
the low phase noise requirements of reference clocks in
wireless communication devices.
Main Features
- High accuracy suited to wireless communication
(frequency tolerance: ±15 × 10-6)
- Maintains accuracy at temperatures between -40°C
and 90°C
- Support for voltages as low as 1.8 V
- Small size (2.5 mm × 2.0 mm)
- Achieves low phase noise
Main Specifications
Glossary
(*1) Phase noise
Energy that is radiated near the oscillation frequency,
and that occurs due to the internal and external environmental
factors (noise) of a crystal oscillation circuit. Wireless
signal transmission errors can occur when this noise
value is too high.

NEW SMT dc switching regulator from V-Infinity
Division of CUI INC
V-Infinity, a division of CUI Inc, announces the release
of the V78XX-500-SMT series, a surface mount version of its
0.5 A V78XX-500 dc switching regulator. The V78XX-500-SMT
offers efficiencies of up to 96% and is designed to be a
high performance alternative to linear regulators. Unlike
linear regulators, the V78XX-500-SMT series does not require
a heat sink, making it ideal for applications where board
space is at a premium and energy efficiency is a concern.
The
V78XX-500-SMT series is compact, measuring 15.24 x 8.50 x
7.00 mm. A
wide input range is available from 4.5 to 28 Vdc and regulated output voltages
of 3.3, 5, 12, and 15 Vdc are offered. Output current is 500 mA with an
operating temperature range of -40 to +71°C at 100% load, derating to 60%
load at 85°C. The converters offer short circuit protection, thermal
shutdown, very low ripple and noise (10 mV p-p typical), and an MTBF of 2 million
hours. The V78XX-500-SMT series switching regulators are available now
at Digi-Key.
