Avago Technologies launch small size auto focus assist flash LED

Provide analog interface components communications, industrial and consumer applications leading supplier Avago Technologies recently launched two series compact LED, can reduce the AF assist flash function space requirements in digital camera design. The new ASMT-FJ70 and ASMT-FG70 devices are the most lightweight and minimum size package of LED in the market, providing the desired brightness in the dark setting.

ASMT-Fx70 LED uses a tiny, environmentally friendly 3.6 (long) x (wide) x 3.4 (high) mm surface mount package that helps to meet the market demand for thinner digital cameras. The LED uses a transparent, non diffused lens that produces a high brightness through a narrow radiation pattern, providing a stable and consistent optical performance for precise autofocus. The ASMT-FJ70 device is orange, and the ASMT-FG70 device is the industry's first green auxiliary flash LED of this size.

Avago photoelectric products marketing director Francis Khor said: "the digital camera with the increase of function and capacity, volume has continued to shrink, the new auxiliary flash LED we can increase the functionality per square inch camera to help make designers to deal with this challenge. Avago ASMT-Fx70 LED also offers two advantages, without sacrificing the performance of autofocus can provide compact design package. The ASMT-FJ70 device uses aluminum indium gallium phosphide (AlInGaP) material technology and has a 12 degree angle, and ASMT-FG70 device using indium gallium nitride (InGaN) material technology and provides a 14 degree angle. It is understood that the high luminous efficiency of the two technologies, can drive current conditions in a wide range to achieve high light output, narrow angle provides long distance lighting automatic focusing auxiliary flash required and narrow angle beam mode.
