The first 67 million levels Matsushita launched LED driver IC

Panasonic: semiconductor industry's first 67 million levels, can naturally adjust the brightness of the LED driver IC, is expected to meet NB, mobile phone, portable video device requirements and colorful color performance design. New product is expected to start in April sample shipments, formally put into production in July.

This is the development of RGB tricolor LED driver IC "AN30259A". On the production side, both pre - and post - process will be outsourced. In the estimated market value of about 10 ~ 1 billion 500 million of the target market, will be particularly locked in which the 1/3 requires LED to display the functional design of the market, the estimated monthly sales of 1 million. Production will be 0.3 m Bi-CMOS process, the industry's smallest size of 1.26 x 1.56 x 0.75mm WLCSP package, easy to configure small electronic devices. The product uses LED maximum drive current can be four stages of switching, set the current value of up to 256 stages of the control of the new driver circuit. Adjust the brightness up to 67 million times the levels of the existing 30. The utility model can be used for the decorative lighting of the mobile phone, such as calling, etc., and can also be used for the backlight of the display panel, the flash of the digital camera, etc.. For NB, games, etc. can also enhance the effect of colorful lighting design, in addition to their own electronic products, but also plans a wide range of external sales.
