LDO provides power consumption of 50-100nA in standby mode and 3-12uA in no-load mode - an 80-90% reduction in power consumption compared with the industry standard.

Oki Electric has developed eight new models of power management LSIs that provide low power consumption, low noise and high efficiency for mobile devices "We entered the power management LSI market in July 2006 to leverage our strength in manufacturing technologies for high-voltage and lower power consumption devices, which are widely used in manufacturing processes and TFT LCD driver LSIs"

"The models we add today significantly reduce power consumption which means longer battery life for mobile devices", says Takaki Yamada, President of Silicon Microdevice Company at Oki Electric Industry.

"Going forward we will continue to provide various kinds of power management LSIs with a variety of functions, not only for mobile and portable devices but also for flat panel displays and printers".

Mobile devices, such as mobile phones, are becoming sophisticated with built-in camera, music player, TV tuner for one-segment broadcasting and capability for handling electronic money - all of which require longer batter life.

Oki's new LDO regulator provides power consumption of 50-100nA in standby mode and 3-12uA in no-load mode.

This is an 80-90% reduction in power consumption compared with the industry standard, and is ideal for sophisticated mobile devices.

The efficiency of Oki's step-down DC/DC convertor is 95% at an output current of 500mA, which is higher than conventional convertors, thus offering an attractive solution as the main power supply for digital still cameras.
