AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 25 - Micrel Inc., (NASDAQ:MCRL), an industry leader in IC analog, high bandwidth and Ethernet solutions, today announced that it would be previewing the industry's newest and most innovative power analog IC solutions at the annual 2008 APEC (Applied Power Electronics Conference) trade show. The show will be held at Austin Convention Center in Austin, TX, Feb. 25-27, with show hours as follows: Monday: 5:00 to 8:00 p.m.; Tuesday: noon to 5 p.m.; and Wednesday: 10:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Micrel's booth number is: 310-312.
Included in the preview will be a fully-integrated 4A synchronous buck regulator, the MIC22400 for 3V and 5V supply rails. With operating frequency programmable from 800KHz to 4 MHz, the IC features built-in sequencing, tracking and ramp control . enabling all power-up sequencing and tracking protocols. Targeted at the communications, computing peripherals, and high-end consumer markets, the solution is ideal for servers/routers, HD DVD recorders, wireless base stations, FPGAs, DSPs, and low voltage ASICs, as well as other high power density applications. The Company will also preview the MICRF218 the world's first programmable receiver featuring jam avoidance. The MICRF218, which is part of Micrel's QwikRadio(R) family, is targeted at garage door openers and tire pressure monitoring systems. It is the world's first integrated ASK/OOK receiver with selectable IF bandwidth for 300 to 450 MHz operation. Finally, Micrel will also showcase the MIC94064/5, a series of high-side load switches that extend Micrel's industry-leading MIC9406x family of high-side load switch products. The MIC9406x family now covers a wide range of battery-powered consumer and industrial applications that require a variety of turn-on characteristics, including portable computers, cell phones, and personal media devices.
