Semtech Brings
Phase-Shifted LED
Backlight Drive to
the Panel for the
First Time for
Ultrabook™ and
Ultra-Thin Notebooks
The new SC5010 is an
8-channel white LED
driver with an
innovative PWM
phase-shift dimming
control that uses
very low-profile
inductors, allowing
LED drivers to be
built directly into
the LCD panel in
Ultrabook PCs and
ultra-mobile PCs (UMPC)
for displays as thin
as 4mm.
World’s Smallest 4A
Dual Point-of-Load
Regulator from
Semtech Dramatically
Reduces Size and
Inventory Challenges
in Power Conversion
Applications
The SC286 lets
designers optimize
power conversion to
support more
features in less
space without the
inventory challenges
associated with
using multiple
regulators.
World’s Smallest
300mA Buck-Boost
Regulator from
Semtech Enables
Significantly
Smaller, Easier to
Design Power
Management Solutions
The new 3.3V, SC630A
and 5V, SC632A are
the world’s smallest
300mA and 275mA
(respectively)
buck-boost
regulators in a
tiny, 2 x 2 x 0.6mm
package and are
designed to be used
with ultra-small,
2.2µF capacitors,
making them far
smaller and easier
to use than
conventional,
inductor-based
buck-boost
regulators.

Debuts
4D-Touch™
Platform
to

Experience
by
Sensing
all
Four
Dimensions
Our
ground
breaking
4D-Touch™
touchscreen
controller
platform
brings
out
the
best
user
experiences
by
enabling
the
capability
to
sense
in
the
X,
Y,
Z+
(proximity),
and
Z-
(pressure)
directions
in
many
touch-interface
applications
including
smart
phones,
tablets,
handheld
GPS,
automotive
consoles,
and
POS
terminals.
Semtech Debuts
4-Dimensional Touch:
World’s First
Resistive
Touchscreen
Controller Platform
That Detects
Proximity and
Pressure with no
Additional
Components
Many devices use the
proximity of a
person’s hand or
finger to activate
features, such as
waking up a system.
The SX865X
controllers are the
first to integrate
this proximity
capability into a
touchscreen
controller to
provide a
single-chip solution
for a wide variety
of applications such
as mobile phone,
tablet, DSC,
handheld GPS,
automotive center
consoles, and POS
terminals.
