Original Press Release:
Rogers Corporation - Durel Division Introduces a New EL Driver Module
Durel® Driver Module provides a turnkey, integrated solution to power Electroluminescent (EL) Lamps
Chandler, AZ, December 2, 2003: Rogers Corporation (NYSE:ROG) today announced the addition of a new EL module to its Durel® family of EL driver products. To meet customer demand for smaller devices, Rogers Durel Division has developed a "stand-alone" EL driver module solution that combines all external, discrete components required to backlight monochrome displays and keypads into a single, cost-effective chip. Mike Bessette, vice president of the Durel Division of Rogers Corporation, said, "Customers have informed us that they want to eliminate Bill of Materials and simplify their assembly and purchasing processes. The D355 module is the answer because it reduces the number of suppliers from four to one and provides ease of design and assembly."
The small, 5mm X 7mm D355B driver has a power inductor already imbedded inside the module. It operates with a wide DC input voltage range (1.0V to 7.0V) to fit various types of electronic applications and battery technologies. Because of the D355 module's high power-conversion efficiency, it is suitable for timepieces, wireless communications devices, such as PDAs and handsets, and other electronic applications.
The D355B integrated module utilizes Rogers' patented three-port (3P) topology for reduction of audible and electrical noise. It also features internally controlled current discharge for built-in EMI shielding. Samples of the leadless D355 module in lead-free packages are currently available from stock.
