VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE STMicroelectronics has added two miniature motor drivers to its range of SLLIMM (Small Low-Loss Intelligent Molded Modules), which will enable domestic appliances to offer better energy ratings. Intelligent motor controllers provide the key to using less energy, while also enabling additional benefits such as new features and quieter operation in appliances such as dishwashers, refrigerators, air conditioners and fans. ST's new SLLIMM nano family extends the portfolio of SLIMM intelligent power modules for appliance motor drivers in a single module that connect directly between the central microcontroller and the motor. Compared to a conventional driver, which typically requires more than 30 individual components, ST's modular solution reduces costs by simplifying design and significantly reducing component count while saving space, improving reliability and lowering electromagnetic emissions (EMI). The modules are also ideal for sma...

VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE An IC from STMicroelectronics is said to enable compact digital cameras and camera phones to satisfy demands for increased power from the built-in flash unit while supporting more sophisticated user controls. ST's new chip, the STCF04, is an integrated camera flash and torch controller that raises the maximum power of an LED flash module from a few Watts, to over 40 Watts. The new device also provides extra flash and torch brightness controls, with eight user-selectable levels for the flash and 12 for the torch, as well as a light-sensor input. Flash and torch safety timers, temperature sensing and short-circuit protection features are also built in. The STCF04 is used in a unique configuration combining a super capacitor, a discrete high-current MOSFET switch and high-power white LEDs. The discrete MOSFET is the key to the STCF04's power advantage over other controllers that usually integrate a MOSFET of lower rating on the chip. Fo...

VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE Plasma television may soon go blank as sales go flat as Samsung and LG shift focus to fast-growing LCD and LED televisions. Sales of the plasma televisions have been flat for the last 6-9 months even though the overall flat panel TV segment is growing at a rate of 119%. Plasma TV now accounts for just 2% of the overall flat-panel television market, with LCD holding 85% and LED TV 13%. The largest reason for Plasma's dwindling market share could be that the products are available only in large-screen sizes of 40-inches and above, while LCD and LED TVs are available right from 14-inches onwards. Also, the 20-30 % price premium that LCD TVs used to command over plasma in like-to-like screen sizes has narrowed down to 10% as higher volumes help LCD TV makers cut production costs and work on smaller margins. Even at Panasonic India, which is a major champion of plasma TV, LCD and LED TVs account for almost 85% of the total flat panel TV sales....
