Alpha and Omega Semiconductor's EZBuck(TM) Family of DC-DC Regulators Establish New Levels of Performance and Value.SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Alpha and Omega alpha and omega n. 1. The first and the last: "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord" Revelation 1:8. 2. The most important part. Semiconductor, Inc. (AOS (Alternative Operator Services) Operator services provided by a third-party organization. See operator services. 1. AOS - /aws/ (East Coast), /ay-os/ (West Coast) A PDP-10 instruction that took any memory location and added 1 to it. ), a leading developer of advanced power semiconductor solutions, announced today that it is expanding the Company's power management solutions by releasing a brand new family of DC-DC DC-DC Direct Current to Direct Current (power conversion) regulators. The EZBuck(TM) family of regulators is aimed at applications such as portable DVD players, digital set-top boxes, flat panel displays & TVs, wireless access points, low cost PCs, communications equipment and general purpose point-of-load DC-DC conversion applications. The EZBuck(TM) regulators take advantage of AOS's unique combination of Power IC MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) The most popular and widely used type of field effect transistor (see FET). MOSFETs are either NMOS (n-channel) or PMOS (p-channel) transistors, which are fabricated as individually packaged and packaging technologies to achieve new levels of performance, integration and ease-of use. These fixed frequency PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) A modulation technique that generates variable-width pulses to represent the amplitude of an analog input signal. Like its fixed-width pulse density modulation (PDM) cousin, the output switching transistor is on more of the time for a regulators achieve a peak efficiency of greater 90% at rated load current. The high efficiency is achieved by optimizing a control stage to drive a low Rds(on) power stage comprised of AOS' proprietary Trench MOSFET technology. Accepting an input voltage from 4.5V to 16V, the EZBuck(TM) family is ideal for applications that use a 5V or 12V nominal input voltage. Devices are available that provide output current from 1.5A up to 5A in a single 8-pin package thereby offering customers a rich choice of solutions for their applications. Additional features include integrated soft-start, integrated Schottky diode options, over-current and thermal protection and programmable output voltage down to 0.8V. Pricing and Availability: The AOZ AOZ Advance of Zeta (gaming) AOZ Accept on Zero AOZ Aircraft Operating Zone 1010AI, AOZ1012DI, AOZ1013AI and AOZ1014AI/DI are now available. Samples are available from stock with production quantities available in 8 weeks. Pricing starts at $0.58 for 1,000 units, respectively. About AOS: Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Inc. is a fabless semiconductor company A fabless semiconductor company specializes in the design and sale of hardware devices implemented on semiconductor chips. It achieves an advantage by outsourcing the fabrication of the devices to a specialized semiconductor manufacturer called a semiconductor foundry or "fab. that develops leading edge analog power management solutions. AOS offers a wide portfolio of power MOSFET and Power IC products that incorporate advances in device design, silicon, and packaging technologies. AOS's products meet the ever increasing performance and power efficiency requirements in high volume consumer applications such as portable and desktop computers, digital cameras, cell phones, and LCD panels. AOS has offices worldwide including Sunnyvale, California , Taiwan, Korea and China. For more information, please visit AOS's Website at: www.aosmd.com |
