Automotive LEDs scoop ultimate award

The Envisium mid-power family of light-emitting diodes for automotive applications has been awarded an EE Times ACE Ultimate Products of the Year award.

The Envisium mid-power family of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for automotive applications has been awarded the EE Times ACE Ultimate Products of the Year award in the Interconnect, Passive and Electromechanical Components category The EE Times Annual Creativity in Electronics (ACE) Awards recognises the most significant products introduced in the last 12 months and are chosen by qualified readers of EE Times and eeProductCenter via electronic balloting

The Envisium Power PLCC-4 (plastic leaded chip carrier) surface mount (SMT) LEDs, jointly developed by Avago Technologies and Lumileds Lighting, are designed for automotive exterior lighting, such as centre high-mounted stoplights, front turn signals, rear combination turn, tail and stoplights, and mirror turn signals.

The LEDs are also used for automotive interior lighting, such as instrument panel and control backlighting, central console backlighting, and navigation and audio systems.

"We are honoured that the Envisium mid-power family of LEDs has won this prestigious award", said Lee Soo Ghee, Vice President and General Manager for Avago Technologies' Optoelectronic Products Division.

"This recognition reaffirms our commitment to deliver superior performance and industry-best luminous output for today's automotive lighting applications".

The Envisium Power PLCC-4 SMT LEDs, available in red, red-orange and amber, fill the need for mid-power illumination capabilities that, in addition to automotives, are appropriate for home and commercial-building mood lighting and highlighting, garden lighting, and illuminated signs and signals.

The use of high-performance Lumileds Lighting TS AlInGaP (transparent-substrate aluminium indium gallium phosphide) LED die enables the new LEDs to produce higher luminous flux output than any other PLCC-4 LEDs on the market.

For example, the Envisium Power PLCC-4 SMT LEDs feature higher luminous output than the nearest competitor's offerings, which are widely used for automotive signalling applications. Request a free brochure from Avago Technologies ...
