More power from laser modules for WDM systems
Oki Electric has developed a trio of high-power 1480nm pump laser diode modules for WDM (wavelength division multiplexing) optical transmission.
Use of terminals equipped with USB, a high-speed serial interface standard, is rapidly increasing in common applications such as digital still cameras and as an interface to connect PCs with digital appliances.
The power protection switch IC offers functions to help enable a USB power supply including overcurrent protection, soft-start, and UVLO (Under Voltage Lock Out) functions.
Oki will accept orders of the USB power protection switch IC beginning 21st July 2006.
"We are very pleased with this technology transfer from Tyco Electronics, a globally known company".
"Based on this agreement, we will provide system solutions that have lower power consumption and lesser components with our differentiating technologies in power management LSI such as high voltage processing, low power consumption, and circuit area technologies," said Masahiko Morioka, President of Silicon Solutions Company at Oki Electric.
"By taking in the technologies from Tyco Electronics, Oki will expand the offering of system solutions by adding power supply line protection switch IC to our product lineup that includes linear regulator and switching regulator.".
