Agilent Technologies has introduced a series of surface-mount LEDs designed and qualified specifically for automobile interior and exterior lighting applications.
Hot-pluggable transceiver for Fibre Channel
Agilent Technologies has announced volume availability of its 2Gbit/s small-form-pluggable (SFP) fibre-optic transceiver for Fibre Channel storage area networks (SANs).
The HCMS-2919 and HCMS-2976 displays are driven by onboard low-power complementary metal oxide silicon (CMOS) ICs, and can be directly interfaced with a microprocessor, thus eliminating the need for cumbersome interface components.
These displays, which help to reduce design costs and are easy to use, can be used in a wide variety of consumer, industrial and communications applications.
Some of these applications include remote battery-powered instruments, copy machines, printers, gaming machines, routers, audio/video applications, and test and measurement equipment.
"This latest addition to our family of smart dot-matrix LED products is available in eight character packages which can be stacked vertically and horizontally for displays requiring higher character counts", said Cheng Kai Chong, Worldwide Marketing Manager for Avago Technologies' Optoelectronic Products Division.
"Since we are the first supplier of blue smart displays, we can leverage our expertise in this area by providing our customers with customised the application support".
In addition to the new GaN blue smart displays, Avago also offers HCMS-29xx displays in the following configurations: 1 x 4, 0.15in character; 1 x 8, 0.15in character; 1 x 8, 0.15in character ; 1 x 4, 0.20in character; and 1 x 8, 0.20in character versions in AlGaAs red (637nm), high-efficiency red (627nm), orange (602nm), yellow (585nm) and green (574nm).
All versions use the same ASIC and have the same package dimensions and pin configurations, making it simple to upgrade to a blue display. Request a free brochure from Avago Technologies ...
