Potentia Semiconductor Introduces First Primary Side Power Module for LCD Televisions.OTTAWA -- Potentia Semiconductor, a global leader in providing power solutions to the Flat Panel Display A thin display screen for computer and TV usage. The first flat panels appeared on laptop computers in the mid-1980s, and the LCD technology became the standard. Stand-alone LCD screens became available for desktop computers in the mid-1990s and exceeded sales of CRTs for the first time industry, officially released the industry's first primary side power module for LCD televisions with screen sizes from 32" to 65". The PM-6010 enables LCD television manufacturers to cost-effectively build high efficiency power supplies with the industry's smallest size. The PM-6010 is a power control and conversion module for primary side, off-line 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 ) and isolated DC-DC DC-DC Direct Current to Direct Current (power conversion) power conversion using LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol. LLC - Logical Link Control resonant power topologies. "This power solution is the first of its kind to fully integrate PFC controlled power with all required power switching semiconductors. The PM-6010 allows for multiple PFC topologies and a wide range of operating frequencies to provide a total solution for emerging power supply requirements," stated Tom Griffin, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Potentia Semiconductor. The PM-6010 features the advantages of an integrated PFC and LLC allowing high operating frequency capability, on chip power conversion devices for improved energy and heat dissipation, and multiple built-in protection functions. The PM-6010 is available in versions that support 200-500 Watts range of power for LCD TVs that employ the direct powering of the CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) Same as CCFT. backlighting from the PFC or traditional power topologies.
