Devices Provide Small Package Size and High-Performance Auto-Focus in
the Dark
SAN JOSE, Calif. & SINGAPORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 18, 2012--
Avago Technologies (Nasdaq:AVGO),
a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications,
industrial and consumer applications, today announced two series of
compact LEDs that reduce space requirements for designing auto-focus
auxiliary flash functionality into digital cameras. The new ASMT-FJ70
and ASMT-FG70
devices are available in one of the market’s thinnest,
smallest-footprint packages for LEDs with the brightness needed for
auto-focus functionality in dark settings.
The ASMT-Fx70 LEDs are available in a tiny, environmentally-friendly 3.6
(L) by 3.2 (W) by 3.4 (H) mm surface-mount package that helps meet
market demand for thinner digital cameras. The LEDs use a clear,
non-diffused lens to provide high luminous intensity within a narrow
radiation pattern, providing smooth, consistent optical performance for
precise auto-focus functionality. The ASMT-FJ70 devices are orange and
the ASMT-FG70 devices are the industry’s first green auxiliary flash
LEDs in this size range.
“Digital cameras continue to shrink in size while growing in
functionality and capacity, and our new auxiliary flash LEDs address
this challenge by allowing designers to pack in greater functionality
per square inch of the camera,” said Francis Khor, director of marketing
for the optoelectronics products at Avago. “The Avago ASMT-Fx70 LEDs
provide the best of both worlds, as they offer a small design footprint
without sacrificing auto-flash performance.”
The ASMT-FJ70 devices use Aluminum Indium Gallium Phosphate (AlInGaP)
material technology and feature a 12 degree viewing angle, while the
ASMT-FG70 devices use Indium Gallium Nitride (InGaN) material technology
and provide a 14 degree viewing angle. Both technologies have very high
luminous efficiency, producing high light output over a wide range of
drive currents. The narrow viewing angles deliver the long distance
illumination and narrow beam pattern required for auto-focus auxiliary
flash functionality.
Additional ASMT-FJ70 and ASMT-FG70 Features
-
Lead (Pb)-free and RoHS 6 compliant package
-
Shipped in tape and reel to facilitate pick and place manufacturing
-
Operating temperature range of -40° to +85° C
U.S. Pricing and Availability
The orange ASMT-FJ70 LEDs are priced at $0.45 each in minimum quantities
of 10,000 pieces, and the green ASMT-FG70 LEDs are priced at $0.60 each
in minimum quantities of 10,000 pieces. Samples and production
quantities are available now through the Avago direct sales channel and
via worldwide distribution partners.
