| | Audio/Video |
| | Audio/Video devices implement application specific processes including- encoding and compression of video and audio signals prior to processing, transmission, storage or viewing/listening. |
| |  | Micrel Multiple Output LED Driver
Micrel multi-output LED drives are used in a variety of display applications. For example, the MIC5400 consists of 2 banks of 8 LED driver outputs, each output capable of sinking up to 30mA. Each bank is intended to drive 8 LED pixels of the same color. Most applications will use the MIC5400 to drive pixel clusters of 4 LEDs [RRGB] Typically two red LEDs are used for every one green and blue to compensate for red LED brightness. Brightness control is digitally programmed through the serial interface. Coarse Brightness Control is determined by two 4 Bit DACs, one for each driver bank and each output has Fine Brightness Control using 10-bit resolution PWM. |  | Thunderbolt Interfaces
Thunderbolt technology is a revolutionary new high-speed computer input/output (I/O) method that offers a quantum leap in data transfer rates compared to other standards. These unprecedented speed requirements place unique demands on the transmission media. Semtech's expertise in the 10Gb/s datacom and experience with high-speed links have given us the unique capability to rise to the challenge and produce the industry |

| | Central Processor/MicroController |
| | Central Processors/MicroControllers are key elements in Audio/Video applications. In particular 8/16/32-bit MCUs are found at the heart of many audio/video processing devices and can be used to compress, encrypt and code audio/video analog/digital signals, control the user interface and provide image/audio enhancement. ASSPs and FPGAs/PLDs are also used as key elements in these functions. |

| | Power and Battery Management |
| | Power and Battery Management devices are pervasive in the Audio/Video market. Battery management is used in hand-held devices to provide long operating life while maximizing performance and efficiency. Board level power management is used to control and distribute power cleanly and efficiently. Supervisory functions are used to maintain safe operation of critical power rails. |
| |  | LTC DC/DC Power Controllers
Linear Technology manufactures a broad line of high performance DC/ DC controllers featuring digitally controlled output voltages for CPU core power applications and other applications requiring dynamically adjustable outputs. These controllers support most CPU manufacturers product offerings. The key benefits of using these controllers include small solution footprint, reduced levels of capacitance, high conversion efficiencies, fast transient response and improved thermal management. |
