International Rectifier’s IRS2980 LEDrivIR™ IC Named Finalist of 2013 EE Times and EDN ACE Awards

EL SEGUNDO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– International Rectifier, IR® (NYS: IRF) , a world leader in power management technology, today announced its IRS2980 LEDrivIR™ IC was named a finalist in the Ultimate Products – Power category of UBM Tech’s EE Times and EDN Annual Creativity in Electronics (ACE) Awards.

Rated at 600 V, the IRS2980 utilizes hysteretic average current mode control for precise current regulation. The LED buck driver features low-side MOSFET drive with high-voltage internal regulator and high-side current sensing. The converter is compatible with electronic PWM dimming allowing for 0%-100% current control.

“The IRS2980 LEDrivIR™ IC offers improved performance at a lower system cost than alternative solutions for non-isolated LED driver applications and we are pleased that the device has been named a finalist in these highly prestigious awards,” said Adam White, IR‘s Senior Vice President, Global Sales.

Available in an SO-8 package, the IRS2980 LEDrivIR™ IC utilizes IR‘s advanced high-voltage IC process which incorporates latest-generation high-voltage level-shifting and termination technology to deliver superior electrical over-stress protection and higher field reliability, in addition to other new features and enhancements.

The Ultimate Products of the Year Award – awarded to the most significant product introduced in the last 12 months in 11 categories – is determined by large-scale peer review. Finalists in each category are chosen by expert editors from both EE Times and EDN with accompanying editorial reviews.

The Annual Creativity in Electronics (ACE) Awards ceremony will take place on April 23, 2013, as part of UBM Tech’s DESIGN West and ESC Silicon Valley Conference.

IDT MEMS Oscillators Selected as Finalist for 2013 EE Times and EDN ACE Awards

IDT’s Leading 4M and 4E MEMS Oscillators and CEO Ted Tewksbury, Ph.D. Garner Recognition from Prestigious Electronics Industry Publications

SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT®) (NAS: IDTI) , the Analog and Digital Company™ delivering essential mixed-signal semiconductor solutions, today announced that its 4M- and 4E-series MEMS Oscillators were selected as a finalist for UBM Tech’s EE Times and EDN 2013 Annual Creativity in Electronics (ACE) Award in the ‘Ultimate Products’ category. In addition, IDT‘s president and CEO, Dr. Ted Tewksbury, Ph.D., was named finalist in the Executive of the Year category.

IDT‘s 4M and 4E MEMS oscillators were selected for their broad appeal to electronics engineers looking to overcome the performance and reliability concerns that have accompanied quartz-based oscillators for decades. IDT‘s patented piezoelectric MEMS (pMEMS™) resonator technology combines the strong electromechanical coupling of the piezoelectric material with the stability and low damping of single-crystal silicon to create a passive frequency source of unparalleled performance and reliability. The devices are ideal for cloud computing and network infrastructure requiring sub-picosecond jitter and high reliability at elevated operating temperatures.

“This year’s ACE Awards finalists mark a shift in the industry, as the electronics industry becomes more focused on creating technologies attractive to consumers,” said Alexander Wolfe, Brand Director, EE Times. “The 2013 finalists represent the execution of forward-thinking technologies and creativity that captures the imagination of consumers, illustrating the influence that electronics and embedded design professionals have on today’s culture.”

“IDT‘s MEMS oscillators meet the accuracy and jitter requirements for high-performance applications with the added benefit of excellent reliability and short lead times,” said Christian Kermarrec, vice president and general manager of the Timing and Synchronization Division at IDT. “Our MEMS oscillator portfolio includes a range of products optimized for different applications; from standard six-pin oscillators with less than 1 picosecond of phase jitter to our multi-output oscillators with pre-configured selectable frequencies on a single chip. Our ICs empower customers to drive the performance standard for next generation products while consolidating the BOM and simplifying the circuit.”

In addition to becoming a finalist for the ‘Ultimate Product‘ award, IDT‘s very own president and CEO, Dr. Ted Tewksbury, Ph.D., was named finalist for the Executive of the Year category.
