Silex Technology, a global leader in wired and wireless networking solutions, today launched the SX-SDCAN SDIO card based on Qualcomm Atheros AR6003 WLAN technology. Unlike other radio modules, the SX-SDCAN is mechanically designed in an SD card form factor providing an upgrade path for existing Silex customers to take advantage of 802.11n Wi-Fi technology while offering new customers a vendor-independent form factor. The SX-SDCAN supports 802.11a/b/g/n to leverage the 5GHz band for applications requiring relatively interference-free bandwidth. Added features including antenna diversity and Silex-provided software (driver and security supplicant) offer users the highest reliability and security. The Qualcomm Atheros AR6003 WLAN chipset has been designed to optimize power consumption with the smallest form factor making the SX-SDCAN ideal for low-power battery operated mobile devices such as medical devices, printers and other portable devices. The SX-SDCAN SDIO card offers the highes...

Silex Technology, a global leader in wired and wireless networking solutions, today announced plug-and-play Wi-Fi connectivity solutions for Freescale Semiconductor i.MX 6 series processors. This technology combination which includes the Silex SX-SDCAN-2830BT was demonstrated at the Freescale Technology Forum June 18 -20, 2012 in San Antonio, Texas. “Wi-Fi connectivity is a key feature for customers designing products based on our i.MX 6 series processors," said Rajeev Kumar, i.MX product line manager for Freescale Semiconductor. "Silex delivers outstanding technology engineered to help our i.MX 6 customers differentiate and win in competitive markets.” “Silex is proud to be the Freescale recommended Wi-Fi solutions provider," said Keith Sugawara, vice president of Business Development at Silex Technology America.

We develop highly efficient, highly functional power modules for inverters, converters etc., using our unique power circuit and in-car mounting technology along with our own power semiconductors. In particular, we adapt our semiconductors to the specifications of the final product to attain superior efficiency, miniaturization and weight savings. Overview: The functional power modules we develop use many of power semiconductors of our own manufacture, such as diodes, thyristors, and MOSFETs. We also utilize our unique circuit technology in single phase and 3-phase bridges, etc., to help heighten the efficiency of products. With the power semiconductors we install ranging widely from tens to 600 V and tens to 100 A, synergy with our semiconductor business is one of the strengths of our products. With many years of accomplishments in in-car mounting technology, we develop and supply products of high quality. Also, we select the mounting substrate materials best suited for the outpu...

Shindengen Electric Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Otemachi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan) has developed SIDACs(bidirectional thyristors) optimal for combating total darkening of LEDs due to open faults. Mass production began in April 2010. • The product we have now developed comes in two types, K1VZL09, with a 10 V break-over voltage (typ.), and K1VZL20, with 20 V. Connect these bidirectional thyristors in parallel with LEDs in a light fixture, and, when an LED fails in open mode, they can bypass just the LED that broke, maintain the lighting of the other LEDs connected serially, and prevent total darkening. • We are expanding our business mainly in fields such as signals and emergency guide lights in which darkening is not acceptable, and we are also moving into the automotive market, where LED installation is increasing. • These products were displayed at the 2nd LED/OLED Lighting Technology Expo: Lighting Japan (sponsored by Reed Exhibitions Japan) at Tokyo Big Sight from ...
