‘Circuit Simulation’

An Electronicstalk guide

Start with the news release Linear converter drives up to four strings of LEDs from Linear Technology Corp, which we summarised at the time by saying "Linear Technology has announced the LT3599, a 45V, 2.1MHz DC/DC boost-mode converter designed to operate as a constant current LED driver for up to 40 white LEDs. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Devlin power supplies have battery back-up from Devlin Electronics: "A range of rugged battery-backed power supply (BBPSU) products has been released by Devlin Power, a division of Devlin Electronics. ".

In July 2009, we covered the news from Cookson Electronics - take a look at Solder paste improves print cycle time which says: "Cookson Electronics has launched Alpha CVP-360 Pb-free, no-clean solder paste formulated with its economical low-Ag SACX 0807 and 0307 alloys. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Austriamicrosystems, Austriamicrosystems releases AS1115 LED driver, as well as Phihong releases PSAA18U input desktop adapters from Phihong Europe, and ADP1655 brightens digital-camera flashes from Analog Devices.
