news digest ♦ Power Electronics multiphase and point-of-load (POL) applications.
The AUIRF7738L2 and AUIRF7737L2 DirectFET2 MOSFETs received Electronic Design magazine’s Best Electronic Design award for 2010 in the Automotive category. The automotive-qualified AUIRF7738L2 and AUIRF7737L2 offer overall system level size and cost reductions along with superior performance and efficiency when compared to traditional standard plastic packaged components.
Featuring a PCB footprint 60 % smaller than a D2Pak, the AUIRF7738L2 and AUIRF7737L2 DirectFET2 devices deliver exceptionally low on-state resistance (RDS(on)), while the AUIRF7736M2 features a PCB footprint the same size as a 5x6 mm PQFN or SO-8 package with low RDS(on) of 2.5mOhm, making it suitable for more cost sensitive lower power applications.
The devices are qualified according to AEC-Q101 standards, feature an environmentally friendly, lead- free and RoHS compliant bill of materials, and are part of IR’s automotive quality initiative targeting zero defects.
The editors of EDN magazine have voted IR’s first commercial integrated power stage product utilizing IR’s revolutionary Gallium Nitride (GaN)- based power device technology platform to its “EDN Hot 100 Products” list. Designed for multiphase and point-of-load (POL) applications including servers, routers, switches and general purpose POL DC-DC converters, the iP2010 integrates a highly sophisticated, ultra fast PowIRtune driver IC matched to a multi-switch monolithic GaN-based power device.
The device is mounted in a flip chip package platform to deliver higher efficiency and more than double the switching frequency of state-of-the- art silicon-based integrated power stage devices. Available in an LGA package with small footprint, both devices are optimized for very low power loss, feature highly efficient dual-sided cooling, and are RoHS compliant
“As a power management leader, IR continues to invest in R&D in order to introduce solutions that meet the needs of today’s engineering community and we are pleased to receive industry recognition for our automotive qualified DirectFET2 devices

and GaN-based integrated iP2010 power stage product,” said Adam White, IR’s Senior VP, Worldwide Sales.
IR’s analog and mixed signal ICs, advanced circuit devices, integrated power systems and components enable high performance computing and reduce energy waste from motors, the world’s single largest consumer of electricity. Leading manufacturers of computers, energy efficient appliances, lighting, automobiles, satellites, aircraft and defense systems rely on IR’s power management benchmarks to power their next generation products.
GigOptix Announces Resignation of Chief Financial Officer
The firm will appoint Jeff Parsons, currently Corporate Controller, to replace Ron Shelton, as Acting Chief Financial Officer from 1 Feb 2011.
GigOptix, a leading supplier of high performance electronic and electro-optic components that enable next generation 40G and 100G optical networks has announced the resignation of its Chief Financial Officer, Ron Shelton.
This will be effective 1 February 2011. Jeff Parsons, Corporate Controller, has been appointed Acting Chief Financial Officer and will assume the financial responsibilities of the Company on the effective date.
Parsons joined GigOptix in January 2010 as Corporate Controller. Prior to joining GigOptix, he was a consultant for various high technology companies from 2006-2009. From 2002 to 2005, he served as the corporate controller at Alliance Semiconductor and later served as CFO. From 2000 to 2001, Parsons served as the Director of Finance at Lara Networks. Prior to this time, he held various senior financial positions at Cirrus Logic, Cypress Semiconductor, and Cadence. He holds a Masters in Industrial Administration from Carnegie- Mellon and a BA in Economics from Vanderbilt University.
“I would like to thank Ron for his contributions over
