CM1230 is the newest solution in the family of PicoGuard ultra low capacitance diode arrays for electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection of high-speed serial interfaces. With a space efficient CSP and an ultra low input capacitance of 0.8 pF per channel, is said to be the industry’s smallest form factor low capacitance ESD diode solution.

Data interfaces such as high-speed serial data interfaces for mobile handset displays as well as USB 2.0 and Serial ATA interfaces found in many digital consumer and computing applications require robust ESD protection for high value SOCs with low levels of capacitance and inductance to preserve signal integrity. Providing protection against ESD strikes up to ±8kV contact and ±15kV air discharge, the CM1230 meets the performance requirements of these applications.

A Mobile Device Rework (MDR) package with integrated solder paste dispenser has been developed to rework mobile phones, PDAs, gaming handhelds, multimedia portables, Bluetooth and WLAN equipment, memory cards, notebooks and portable medical equipment. The new package will be on display at booth 8715 at SEMICON West

The fully integrated rework system can dispense solder paste dots small enough for 0201 rework. Can also dispense additional materials including epoxy and underfill.

Equipped with a motorized placement module, WinCOMISS software controls bond force during placement and soldering.

Provides rework capability for the smallest of devices up to RF shield cans, and for the challenge of extremely high-density packages. The “cycle” includes device removal, residual solder clean-up, fresh paste dispense and component replacement. A fully automated version (Auto-MDR) is also available.

The Optoelectronics Division of Bivar Inc. introduces a new surface-mount RGB-based device for optimized control of color and brightness, including a brilliant white, packaged in a low-profile, industry standard PLCC- 4 (plastic leaded chip carrier) device with a 120º viewing angle. Applications include high-contrast video displays (such as LCD monitors, backlighting in automotive dash clusters and exterior automotive lighting), instrument panel backlighting, navigation and switching systems, and medical instrumentation.

Features an internal tri-chip circuit, employing three individually addressable LED die. Lens appearance when off is water clear. Comprised of a single AllnGaP and two InGaN/SIC chip dies, featuring peak wavelengths of 625, 568 and 430 nm respectively. The result is a programmable white or brilliant full color display that can meet specific display needs. Absolute maximum rating of forward current drive is 200mA (Peak If). Other models in the product family include single and bi-color chip available in red, green, blue and yellow, including ultra and HE colors such as 395 UV– 525nm pure green.

The PLCC-4 configuration, including a four-pad metal heat dissipating base, measures 0.075” high, with a footprint of 0.110” x 0.138”.
