White LED driver IC lights up cellphones
Rohm has launched a device that will simplify the design of mobile phones requiring full colour backlights by delivering the increased voltages and driving functionality demanded by white LEDs.
Dual-channel regulators save space
Two new voltage regulators from Rohm Electronics offer simplified circuit layout and reduced component count by combining stable dual outputs with built-in protection.
Supplied in miniature MPT3 and CPT3 packages, the new transistors are rated for voltages of 60V and currents of 3A and are ideal for applications including automotive electronics, optical storage, DC/DC convertors and switched mode power supplies.
The small size of the transistors makes them particularly suitable for portable applications where the increased switching frequency helps to extend battery life by significantly improving power conversion efficiency.
Rohm's new 2SA2071 and 2SA2072 PNP transistors are supplied in MPT3 and CPT3 packages, respectively, and have a collector-base voltage (VCBO) and a collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 60V.
Collector current (IC) is 3A in each case.
The 2SC5824 MPT3 and 2SC5825 CPT3 transistors are NPN devices featuring VCBO and VCEO voltages of -60V and offering IC ratings of -3A.
Respective turn-on and fall times for all of the devices are specified as 30 and 20ns.
All the new devices are designed to operate with junction temperatures of up to 150C.
The MPT3 packages have power dissipation ratings of 500mW, whereas CPT3 packages are rated for 1.0W.
