Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTC2934 and LTC2935, ultralow power supply monitors that only draw 500nA of quiescent current. Battery life is of the utmost importance in portable applications, where it is essential to reduce the amount of supply current the device draws during normal and standby operation. It is important to minimize quiescent current in supporting power components like voltage monitors in an effort to prolong battery life. |

Schottky Diodes in SOD923 Packaging are 50 Percent Smaller than Diodes Packaged in SOD523 San Jose, California March 26, 2008 Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS) introduces a series of Schottky diodes that are energy and space efficient, addressing the needs of space-constrained, power-hungry portable applications. The BAS70SL, BAS40SL, and RB751SL feature an extremely low forward drop (VF) of 0.37mV, which is instrumental in extending battery life. Power conservation is a critical design benefit for power-rich functionalities in portable applications such as cell phones, PDAs and digital cameras. |
