Fairchild’s Global Power Resource Center delivers total solution for energy-efficient LED street lighting
Posted by admin in Elctronic Stuff on July 28, 2010
SAN JOSE, USA: Fairchild Semiconductor’s China-based Global Power Resource Center (GPRC) has developed a complete LED street lighting solution that provides high efficiency and outstanding thermal performance — as well as high reliability — to increase the lifetime of street lamps.
The performance-optimized solution validates Fairchild’s strong energy-efficiency reputation by reducing power consumption in order to meet and exceed the increasing demand for greener electronics. This demand has been driven by consumers as well as governments and regulatory standards worldwide – including China’s central and provincial authorities and ENERGY STAR’s Solid-State Lighting (SSL) guidelines.
Fairchild’s new solution features advanced critical conduction mode (CrCM) PFC, high-efficiency DC-DC and constant current control. This total solution includes two sub-solutions, either parallel or serial, within the same PCB layout delivering up to 91.26 percent and 92.6 percent efficiency respectively from AC input to the LED side, under 220V input voltage.

PALO ALTO, USA: GigOptix Inc., a leading supplier of high performance electronic and electro-optic components that enable next generation 40G and 100G optical networks, announced that its GX6261, a 40G driver for Differential Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (DQPSK) systems, has entered mass production and is now shipping in volume with GigOptix’ previously announced portfolio of GX3240 and GX3220 DQPSK receiver amplifiers to Tier 1 telecom customers.
Padraig O’Mathuna, GigOptix Vice President of Marketing stated: “The GX6261 ramp to production confirms industry analysts’ predictions of strong demands for high speed 40G and 100G systems. 40G DQPSK is now one of the fastest growing segments in the optical communications space. It is being deployed within metropolitan networks to economically address the bandwidth bottlenecks caused by the exponential growth in enterprise and consumer traffic generated by increased usage of Smartphones and IPTV.
“We developed the GX6261 in close cooperation with our Tier 1 customer to address their DQPSK application and we are now their platform’s sole driver solution. GigOptix is now very well positioned to benefit from the clear market demand for more bandwidth based on not only our broad portfolio of production ready 40G solutions including not only the GX6261 driver, but also our GX3440 40G DPSK receiver amplifier and GX3240 and GX3220 40G DQPSK receiver amplifiers but also our product portfolio for 100G applications. We expect the GX6261 to be a significant contributor to our future growth.”
