era-Barrier Films Pte. Ltd. (Tera-Barrier Films) announced that its key customers have tested


Tera-Barrier‘s Solar Barrier Films under accelerated lifetime testing and have determined that Tera- Barrier‘s films doubles their device lifetimes.


Testing conducted by Tera-Barrier‘s customers has shown a consistent linear performance, allowing the device to maintain a steady performance over time. This is a unique characteristic of Tera-Barrier‘s bar- rier product, which has been independently tested and reported on three different flexible photovoltaic technologies such as CIGS (Cadmium Indium Galli- um Selenide), OPV (Organic Photovoltaic) and DSSC (Dye Sensitized Solar Cells).


According to +Plastic Electronics magazine, Tera- Barrier plans to start production of its encapsulation film with a manufacturing partner and ship commer- cial orders in 2012-13.

exas Instruments Incorporated (TI, NASDAQ: TXN) expands its high-voltage point-of-load


product line by introducing the industry’s first 100-V synchronous buck regulator with integrated MOS- FETs. The 600-mA LM5017 is the first in a new fami- ly of step-down switching regulators that reduce PCB area and system cost while improving high-voltage reliability in telecommunication, industrial, smart grid and automotive systems. Used in conjunction with the award-winning WEBENCH®


online design tool,


the LM5017 simplifies high-voltage DC/DC conversi- on and speeds the design process.
