ON Semiconductor Introduces Four New 30 volt (V) Schottky Barrier Diodes

The four new Schottky barrier diodes ( NSR01F30NXT5G, NSR02F30NXT5G, NSR01L30NXT5G and NSR02L30NXT5G) offer portable electronics designers both the industry’s smallest Schottky diode and best-in-class space-performance. These new Schottky diodes are available with low forward voltage or low reverse current at forward current ratings of either 100 milliamp (mA) or 200 mA - the latter being the industry’s smallest 200 mA rated parts. The new devices provide an ideal solution for the increasing num

Maxim Introduces MAX14521E, a +/- 15kV ESD-Protected, Quad-Output Driver for Multiple Electroluminescent (EL) Lamps

The MAX14521E driver utilizes an inductor-based boost converter to generate a high 300VP-P (max) voltage for maximum EL lamp brightness. The MAX14521E features an I2C interface for adjusting many different settings including output voltage, frequency, boost frequency, and waveform shape. The MAX14521E is ideal for cell phones, MP3 players, PDAs, and other applications that require bright, efficient, even backlighting. The MAX14521E provides multiple customization options that enable designers to
