(NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :A) today announced that its Envisium mid-power family of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) has won this quarter's EE Times Ultimate Products award in the Interconnect, Passive and Electromechanical The use of electricity to run moving parts. Disk drives, printers and motors are examples. Electromechanical systems must be designed for the eventual deterioration of moving components that wear over time. The first TVs were electromechanical systems (see video/TV history). Components (IP&E) category. The Envisium Power PLCC-4 (plastic leaded chip carrier A Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) is a four-sided “J”-leaded plastic integrated circuit package with pin spacings of 0.05" (1.27 mm). Lead counts range from 20 to 84. PLCC packages can be square or rectangular. Body widths range from .35" to 1.15". ), jointly developed by Agilent and Lumileds Lighting, is a surface-mount LED designed for automotive exterior lighting, such as center high-mounted stoplights, front turn signals, rear combination turn, tail and stoplights, and mirror turn signals. Agilent's Envisium LED family was rated the highest among the 10 products chosen by EE Times' readers in the IP&E components award category, based on its technical significance and likelihood of use. "We are delighted that the Envisium mid-power family of LEDs has won this prestigious award," said Lee Soo Ghee, vice president and general manager for the Optoelectronic Products Division in Agilent's Semiconductor Products Group. "The superior performance and industry-best luminous lu·mi·nous adj. Emitting light, especially emitting self-generated light. output of our Envisium LEDs make them ideally suited for today's automotive lighting
"Agilent's Envisium Power PLCC-4 LEDs fill the gap for mid-power illumination capabilities because of their excellent performance attributes," said Gina Roos, IP&E sections editor at eeProductCenter. "The innovative use of LED die and packaging allows Envisium LEDs to deliver high reliability under extended temperatures ranging between -40 C and 100 C, which is critical for many exterior lighting applications." The Ultimate Products award is a product peer-review program developed by EE Times and eeProductCenter. Each quarter the editors of eeProductCenter select the 10 most significant new products in seven categories. Those products are then rated by engineers in the field. Ratings are based on technical significance and how likely the engineer would use the product. Further information about Agilent's Envisium automotive LEDs is available at www.agilent.com/view/led.
