Designing Ultra-Low-Power Wireless Systems
Corona, California, May 8, 2008 – Ultra-low-power and energy harvesting open the gate to widespread adoption of wireless sensor communication technology. In comparison to traditional ac-powered and even battery-powered applications, designers need to tackle new challenges and design with substantially different design constraints. A continuing education seminar titled, "Designing for ultra-low-power wireless sensor applications, powered by energy harvesting," will be presented by the GreenPeak Academy on June 4 in Costa Mesa, California. Senior specialists from the GreenPeak Academy will address the key design challenges for ultra-low-power wireless sensor applications. Tips and Tricks will be discussed to arrive at the lowest possible energy consumption. Real life cases (including demo materials) will be addressed.

53 LED Driver IC Applications Analyzed
Corona, California, May 5, 2008 – The just-released First Edition of "LED Driver ICs: Worldwide Forecasts" provides a detailed roadmap of the successive application segments that will push growth for solid state lighting between now and 2013. The market for high-brightness LED driver ICs is increasingly diverse and presents significant growth opportunities. The dollar market is projected to grow significantly faster than unit sales. The higher dollar growth rate is a reflection of high growth rates for higher-cost LED driver ICs such as those used in LCD backlighting, signs, and automotive applications, compared with lower growth rates for lower-cost driver ICs used in mobile phone handsets and other portable applications.

LED Driver ICs: Application Drivers, Market Forecasts & Competitive Developments
Sponsorship Opportunity The First Edition of Darnell Group's in-depth analysis of LED Driver ICs will provide a detailed examination of the trends driving the adoption and utilization of high-brightness light-emitting diodes (HB-LEDs) in a wide variety of applications. It is commonly acknowledged that LEDs and LED Driver ICs will experience continued growth for the foreseeable future. This report will bring substantial and unique value to and perspective on the current discussions by identifying the multiple business and technology stages that this market will experience as it develops and matures.
In fact, the LED Driver market is expected to go "full circle" from driving a small number of LEDs in handsets today to larger numbers of LEDs as backlights in various LCD applications in the next stage of its evolution, to even larger numbers of LEDs in the third stage in platforms such as automobiles and larger video displays. As a result of the growing number of LEDs in the dominant applications, the cost of LEDs will continue to drop dramatically until they finally become cost-effective for general illumination. At that time, the number of LEDs in a typical application will drop back to where it is today, but for use in very-high-volume general illumination applications.
