AAT1282 Boost Converter Capable of Delivering High-Intensity WLED
Lighting for Camera Phones SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 3
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Advanced Analogic Technologies Inc.
(AnalogicTech(TM)) (NASDAQ:AATI), a developer of power management
integrated circuits, announced today that the AAT1282 2A flash LED
driver IC has been selected for EDN Magazine's List of Hot 100
Products for 2008. A winner in the highly competitive power IC
category, the AAT1282 is the industry's first device of its kind to
use a super capacitor to supply the light intensity for mobile
phones featuring cameras with resolutions as high as eight
megapixels while limiting the peak current consumed by the battery.

Each year, manufacturers announce thousands of new products and
technologies. According to EDN, the magazine's editors have spent
countless hours narrowing their list of new products in 2008 to a
few hundred items they considered innovative and newsworthy enough
to report on both in print and on the web. The annual List of 100
Hot Products represents the best of the best, the crucial products
and technologies that in 2008 really grabbed the attention of EDN's
readers and editors. Several lighting component vendors have
recently announced white LEDs (WLEDs) which can approach the light
intensity of a conventional xenon flash, the de-facto yet bulky
standard typically used in today's high-resolution digital still
cameras and smart phones to deliver high-quality photography and
video. But the adoption of the highly compact LED flash in portable
applications has been limited by the requirements for unusually
high levels of battery current, LED forward voltage, and peak pulse
current to deliver such a high intensity of light. By storing the
output of a boost converter in a high-capacity super capacitor, the
AAT1282 allows portable system designers to use WLEDs to deliver
the high-intensity light needed for professional-quality flash and
video applications in high megapixel cameras without draining or
damaging the Lithium-ion battery. "We are pleased that EDN has
recognized and named the AAT1282 white LED driver one of the top
power products introduced in 2008 since there are so many
innovative power management products announced each year," said Ed
Lam, vice president of marketing and engineering at AnalogicTech.
"EDN recognizes our continuing contribution to increasing camera
phone picture quality without sacrificing battery life. The AAT1282
is just the first in a growing family of products for flash
applications." About EDN Published 26 times a year, EDN provides
