(Nasdaq: MCRL), an industry leader in IC analog, high bandwidth and Ethernet
solutions, today announced that it would be previewing the industry's newest
and most innovative power analog IC solutions at the annual 2008 APEC (Applied
Power Electronics Conference) trade show. The show will be held at Austin
Convention Center inAustin, TX, Feb. 25-27, with show hours as follows:
Monday: 5:00 to 8:00 p.m.; Tuesday: noon to 5 p.m.; and Wednesday: 10:30 a.m.
to 2:00 p.m. Micrel's booth number is: 310-312.
Included in the preview will be a fully-integrated 4A synchronous buck
regulator, the MIC22400 for 3V and 5V supply rails. With operating frequency
programmable from 800KHz to 4 MHz, the IC features built-in sequencing,
tracking and ramp control . enabling all power-up sequencing and tracking
protocols. Targeted at the communications, computing peripherals, and high-
end consumer markets, the solution is ideal for servers/routers, HD DVD
recorders, wireless base stations, FPGAs, DSPs, and low voltage ASICs, as well
as other high power density applications. The Company will also preview the
MICRF218 the world's first programmable receiver featuring jam avoidance. The
MICRF218, which is part of Micrel's QwikRadio(R) family, is targeted at garage
door openers and tire pressure monitoring systems. It is the world's first
integrated ASK/OOK receiver with selectable IF bandwidth for 300 to 450 MHz
operation. Finally, Micrel will also showcase the MIC94064/5, a series of
high-side load switches that extend Micrel's industry-leading MIC9406x family
of high-side load switch products. The MIC9406x family now covers a wide
range of battery-powered consumer and industrial applications that require a
variety of turn-on characteristics, including portable computers, cell phones,
and personal media devices.
"Micrel's breadth of analog products now includes more than more than
1,500 solutions including Low Noise Regulators (LDOs), Switchers, Switches
(USB, High Side, Cable), Hot Swap Controllers, Power Management, MOSFET
Drivers, Voltage References, and Power Supervisors," noted Andrew Cowell,
Micrel's vice president of marketing for analog products. "These new devices,
from the world's first programmable receiver featuring jam avoidance, to a the
smallest fully-integrated 4A synchronous buck regulator for 3V and 5V supply
rails, demonstrates Micrel's on-going commitment to providing its customers
the most innovative and advanced ICs on the market today."
