megaAVR picoPower with 128 KB of Flash for Ultra-Low-Power applications Logo
 
 

ATmega1284P reduces design footprint by doubling flash and quadrupling RAM size compared to existing picoPower megaAVR microcontrollers. The small 44-pin package makes the ATmega1284P ideal for applications such as wireless and ethernet nodes, home automation and other code-intensive battery or signal-line powered products, combined with its ultra-low-power consumption, 128 KB of flash and 16 KB of random access memory (RAM). The ATmega1284P is pin- and feature-compatible to the ATmega164PA, ATmega324PA, and ATmega644PA. The four devices provide a drop-in migration path from 16 to 128 KB of flash and 1 to 16 KB of RAM. The ATmega1284P consumes 100 nA in power-down mode, 700 nA in power-save mode and 0.45 mA in active mode at 1.8 V and 1 MHz. Datasheet: ATmega1284P

CM1771 - LuxGuard™ ESD Protection Solution for High Brightness LEDs Logo
 
 

Industry’s First 100v Breakdown Voltage ESD Solution for High Power Solid State Lighting Applications.
The new CM1771 is the industry’s first ESD protection solution for HBLED applications to feature a 100 volt breakdown voltage ESD rating. This enhanced level of ESD protection is a requirement for a growing segment of high power HBLED lighting applications that feature high output power, high efficacy levels reaching over 120 lumens per watt or those utilizing multiple HBLEDs driven in a serial arrangement. Delivering ESD protection at high operating voltages poses the new challenge of dissipating a higher level of power during an ESD strike, and also in maintaining acceptably low dynamic clamp voltages. A silicon-based, side mount protection solution with a back-to-back electrical configuration, the LuxGuard CM1771 provides robust, symmetrical ESD protection and features a very small, cost effective die that can easily be integrated into a broad range of HBLED lamp modules.

Step-Down DC/DC Converters with integrated coil, XCL205/206/207 Logo
 
 

The XCL205/206/207 series are 600mA, 3MHz synchronous step-down DC-DC converters with integrated inductor. The whole solution, including 1.5uH inductor, measures only 2.5mm x 2.0mm and has a package profile of only 1.0mm making it one of the smallest solutions of its kind on the market today. To limit the height of the combined coil and DC/DC converter to 1.0mm, a new ultra-flat package (USP-6EL) with a height of 0.4 mm was developed for the DC/DC converter.
Requiring only 2 external ceramic capacitors to configure a step-down circuit capable of providing efficiencies in excess of 85%, the XCL205/206/207 is ideally suited for applications that require high efficiency plus low output noise in an extremely small PCB area.
