ON Semiconductor Wins Best Power Product Awards for NCP1337, NCP1603 and NIS5102 from a Leading Electronics Magazine in China; Awards Underscore ON Semiconductor's Leadership in Power Management Solutions.BEIJING -- ON Semiconductor (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : ONNN), a leading global supplier of power management solutions, today announced that it has won two awards for "Best Power Product" from China's Electronic Design and Application World-Nikkei Electronics China (EDAW-NEC) magazine. The first award was for "Best Power Management Product." ON Semiconductor was recognized for two devices in this category, the NCP (1) (Network Control Program) See SNA and network control program. (2) (NetWare Core Protocol) The file sharing protocol used in a NetWare network. 1337 and the NCP1603. The NCP1337 is an enhanced pulse width modulation See PWM. (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 ) current-mode controller that eases the design of free running quasi-resonant power supplies for CRT-TVs. The NCP1603 is a combo power factor correction Power factor correction (PFC) is a technique of counteracting the undesirable effects of electric loads that create a power factor that is less than 1. Power factor correction may be applied either by an electrical power transmission utility to improve the stability and efficiency (PFC PFC abbr. private first class Noun 1. PFC - a powerful greenhouse gas emitted during the production of aluminum perfluorocarbon )/ PWM controller that simplifies design of offline, ac-dc power supplies. This is the third consecutive year that EDAW-NEC has bestowed its "Best Product" recognition to ON Semiconductor for power management devices. The second award granted ON Semiconductor was "Best Circuit Protection Product" for its NIS Niš or Nish (both: nēsh), city (1991 pop. 175,391), SE Serbia, on the Nišava River. An important railway and industrial center, it has industries that manufacture textiles, electronics, spirits, and locomotives. 5102 SMART HotPlug(TM) high side hot swap To pull out a component from a system and plug in a new one while the main power is still on. Also called "hot plug" and "hot insertion," hot swap is a feature of USB devices, allowing an external drive, network adapter or other peripheral to be plugged in without having to power down the protection IC with built-in charge pump and accurate temperature sensing circuitry. This is the first time the company has won an award in this category. "We are very proud to win the Best Power Management Product Award the third consecutive year," said Hemen Cheng, ON Semiconductor business director of Analog Products Group for Asia Pacific. "It's also a significant triumph to be honored with the Best Circuit Protection Product Award. Winning these well-recognized awards from an independent industry-leading organization like Electronic Design and Application World-Nikkei Electronics China underscores ON Semiconductor's leadership in power management solution." NCP1337 -- Quasi-Resonant Controller Compared with other competing products in the industry, the judging panel made up of industry experts noted that the NCP1337 is the best quasi-resonant control IC. "This is a breakthrough to traditional quasi-resonant controllers, signifying the future development direction," the group stated. The NCP1337 is the enabling device for ON Semiconductor's GreenPoint(TM) reference design for CRT-TV power supplies that delivers standby power of less than 1 watt (W). It is an enhanced PWM current-mode controller that eases the design of free running quasi-resonant power supplies such as those found in CRT-TVs. It combines a true current-mode modulator Modulator Any device or circuit by means of which a desired signal is impressed upon a higher-frequency periodic wave known as a carrier. The process is called modulation. The modulator may vary the amplitude, frequency, or phase of the carrier. and a demagnetization Demagnetization The reduction or elimination of the magnetic moment in an object; that is, the reverse of magnetization. It is commonly encountered as a procedure for eliminating the inadvertent magnetization of iron (or other ferromagnetic) parts of a detector that ensures full borderline/critical conduction mode in any load/line. The device eliminates the need for an external signal, by providing internal transformer core reset detection. Frequency is internally limited to 130 kilohertz One thousand cycles per second. See Hertz. (kHz) to facilitate the compliance with EMI (ElectroMagnetic Interference) An electrical disturbance in a system due to natural phenomena, low-frequency waves from electromechanical devices or high-frequency waves (RFI) from chips and other electronic devices. Allowable limits are governed by the FCC. conducted emission standards, the lowest limit being 150 kHz. NCP1603 -- PFC/PWM Controller "The NCP1603 simplifies the task of designing an offline, ac-dc power supply that simultaneously meets governmental requirements for power factor correction and low standby power consumption," said the judging panel. "Target applications for this device include products such as notebooks, LCD adapters and other consumer electronics." The NCP1603 combines a PFC controller chip and a PWM control chip with integrated standby and high voltage start up capabilities in a single, 16-pin SOIC (Small Outline IC) A small-dimension, plastic, rectangular, surface mount chip package that uses gull-wing pins extending outward. See gull-wing lead, SOJ and chip package. package. The combo controller enables extremely low no-load standby power consumption, making it ideal for notebook and LCD adapters, and other consumer electronics. Under light load conditions, the NCP1603 PWM controller disables the PFC function, saving in the range of 200 milliwatts (mW) of power. Currently, the most aggressive regulatory standards limit standby power consumption to 500 mW with plans to lower this limit to 300 mW in the future. Given those goals, the power saved by turning off the PFC is significant. Moreover, disabling the PFC ensures that the NCP1603 controller can meet with the 300 mW limit for standby power. NIS5102 -- SMART HotPlug(TM) The NIS5102 SMART HotPlug(TM) circuit combines a power MOSFET with control circuitry and thermal protection. This integrated approach simplifies implementation of vital "hot swap" protection in high availability +12 volt (V) systems, cutting design-time of a complete hot swap solution for computing and telecom circuit board applications in half and reducing external component count by 75 percent. The NIS5102 is ideal for use in distributed power systems, servers, disk arrays and powered board insertion applications. About EDAW-NEC Awards EDAW-NEC -- one of China's leading electronics industry trade publications -- launched its 2005 best power product awards program early this year. Judging is by a panel comprising industry experts who place their vote for the "Best Power Management Product" award and the "Best Circuit Protection Product" award. This year's competition was especially fierce, as more companies and a wider range of products participated in the program than in last year.
