High brightness on surface mount LEDs.
Agilent Technologies has introduced a series of surface-mount LEDs designed and qualified specifically for automobile interior and exterior lighting applications.
The X2 MSA group membership includes Agilent Technologies, Ignis Optics, JDS Uniphase, Mitsubishi Electric, Molex Incorporated, Multiplex Inc., NEC, NTT, Opnext, Optillion, Pine Photonics, TriQuint Optoelectronics and Tyco Electronics.
Revision 1.0 builds on the initial MSA platform, announced in July 2002, which defines a versatile smaller form factor pluggable package based on Xenpak technology that saves costs and board space.
With this revision, the MSA group has finalised all key characteristics for X2 devices.
This gives network equipment manufacturers the confidence they need to design systems around a stable set of specifications for future Ethernet XAUI, Fibre Channel XAUI and SFI4 Phase2 applications.
The X2 MSA group is making the details of the specification available to the industry so that other optical transceiver manufacturers can produce compatible products.
X2 transceivers are expected to begin shipping imminently. Request free introductory details about products from Avago Technologies ...
