Supertex introduced the HV9918, a buck-mode LED driver IC with hysteretic current control and high-side current sensing. It is ideal for a variety of solid-state lighting applications, such as low voltage industrial and architectural LED lighting, signage or decorative lighting, indicator or emergency lighting, as well as a general purpose constant current source. The hysteretic control function of the HV9918 maintains a constant output current to the LED string at all times, regardless of input voltage fluctuations. LEDs are proven to be far more reliable and long lasting when driven by a constant current than by a direct voltage source. It drives loads of up to 1.0A at over 90% efficiency with +/-5% current accuracy from input voltages of 4.5 to 40V. The IC also features an embedded FET for cost and parts count reduction in solid-state lighting applications. Datasheet: HV9918

Atmel announced three new 6-pin picoPower® AVR® microcontrollers. The ATtiny4, ATtiny5, and ATtiny9 are pin- and code- compatible, include a rich feature set, and execute code 6-times faster than the closest competitor. Using the AVR CPU, the 6-pin tinyAVR® microcontrollers can process up to 12 MIPS at 12 MHz, six times the performance of any other similar sized microcontroller in the market. This processing efficiency significantly reduces the time in active mode and increases the time spent in power saving sleep modes. Combined with Atmel’s picoPower technology, this ensures the industry’s leading power consumption. ATtiny4, ATtiny5, and ATtiny9 are pin- and functional-compatible to the existing ATtiny10.

Today’s portable multimedia products are constantly evolving. New trends in wireless communications, display backlighting, wire interfaces and accessory lighting present entirely new challenges for designers facing the arduous task of minimizing power consumption while adding new capabilities.
The key to addressing these new challenges is to consider power management issues early in the development process. Before the market forces them to add new features and functions, designers must understand the unique power requirements of each functional block in their system, what design options are available and which technologies and components will offer them the best strategy for minimizing power consumption and extending battery life.
