These ICs also provide several protective features such as over-temperature shut down and full protection against short circuits. The ATA622/24/26 also meet automotive qualification demands and can withstand transients according to ISO/TR 7637/1. In addition to the remote LIN bus wake-up, the ATA6622/24/26 offer two further wake-up options, a wake-up via the WAKE pin or via the KL15 pin. To enable very slow data communication, as required by specific applications, the ATA6626's time-out timer is deactivated.
ATA6622, ATA6624 and ATA6626 LIN SBC IC samples are available now in Pb-free QFN20 packages with pricing starting at US $0.99 each for 10k piece quantities.
Anders Electronics brings VGA resolution to applications requiring ultra-small display sizes, by adding TPO’s latest module, the 2.8-inch TD028TTED2 TFT LCD with 480 x 640 pixels resolution to its established range of LTPS TFT displays. This transflective TFT-LCD module from TPO features LTPS technology to deliver superior image brightness and clarity. In addition, an integrated 4-wire resistive touchscreen increases flexibility to design advanced human-machine interfaces for a wide range of mobile, data and consumer devices, including next-generation personal media players and handheld imaging equipment.
The module has a wide operating temperature range of –20°C to +60°C. Its transflectivity makes the display suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The module’s tiny size combined with a high resolution make it particularly suitable for high-end medical and industrial applications where high definition is imperative. Using COG (Chip On Glass) technology, the TD028TTED2 integrates power supply circuitry with the LCD control electronics. It only requires a single supply voltage. Thanks to its LTPS (low temperature poly-silicon) construction, the TD028TTED2 consumes 55mW and its white LED backlight typically consumes 360mW with a forward current of 20mA.
The 2.8-inch TFT provides a active area measuring 43.2mm x 57.6mm, a brightness of 250cd/m2, and a contrast ratio of 300:1, with viewing angles of 55° x 55° vertically and 55° x 50° horizontally.
The Micronas Group recorded a drop in net sales and an operating loss for the second quarter of 2007. This downturn was due to cost pressure affecting the Consumer division. Consolidated net sales for the quarter amounted to CHF 171.2 million, a fall of 5.5 percent on the first quarter. Sales and operating profit in the Automotive division were on a par with the previous quarter. In view of the persistence of the adverse trading conditions facing the Consumer business, all the strategic options available to secure the Group's future will be reviewed in the coming months. Consolidated net sales for the first half-year amounted to CHF 352.3 million.
The slump in prices in the consumer market and the resulting cost pressures led to an operating loss before interest and taxes (EBIT) of CHF 23.4 million for the second quarter. The Consumer division contributed CHF 36.6 million to the operating loss for the period, on sales of CHF 118.1 million. The Automotive division, by contrast, generated an operating profit of CHF 16.6 million for the period, on sales of CHF 53.1 million. For the Group as a whole, the second quarter resulted in a loss of CHF 11.1 million; the operating loss for the first half of 2007 amounted to CHF 21.1 million.
