USA - National Semiconductor ( http:// ) introduced the industry's smallest white light-emitting diode (LED) driver with dynamic display backlight control.

The LM3530, a member of National's PowerWise (three) energy-efficient product family, drives up to 11 high-current LEDs in series, illuminating larger displays in portable media devices such as smartphones. The LM3530 is offered in a 12-bump micro SMD package measuring just 1.615 mm 】 1.215 mm 】 0.425 mm.

Today's increased multimedia content in portable devices is fueling the trend towards larger displays and longer video playback, which requires more power. National's LM3530 LED driver employs sophisticated ambient light-sensing algorithms and content-adjustable backlighting to optimize the display, realizing up to a 55 Percent power saving over the common practice of driving the backlight at a constant brightness.

In a pair of tests, National compared the energy consumption of a backlight illuminating a 3.5" iPod touch (three) display with and without National's LM3530 LED driver.

The evaluation was conducted using typical multimedia downloadable material, in this case an episode from a television series and a trailer from a popular movie. Results showed the LM3530 achieved a power savings of 43 percent and 55 percent, respectively, over traditional backlighting. The predominately Darker picture in the movie trailer garnered further power savings because the backlight was reduced more frequently for dark images.

Technical Features of National's LM3530 LED Driver
National's LM3530 current-mode boost converter can supply up to 29.5 mA of power to 11 white LEDs from a single-cell Lithium-Ion battery. A wide degree of programmability via an I2C compatible interface enables the designer to adjust for lighting effects such as fading , external ambient conditions and lighting level, as well as brightness and image performance.

The LM3530's programmable ambient light response along with a separate pulse-width modulation (PWM) dimming input enable the backlight LED driver to intelligently determine lighting requirements and select between various dimming options, optimizing the light output for the given conditions. Logarithm and linear LED brightness Mapping provided flicker-free dimming. A fixed-frequency, 500 kHz boost converter provides high efficiency over the LED current range.

The LM3530 brings power savings to the serial implementation of large display backlighting. For parallel charge pumps, National will offer a product with a similar feature set in October 2009. For more information or to order samples and an evaluation board, visit http://

Availability and Pricing
Available now, National's LM3530 is priced at $1.99 in 1,000-unit quantities.

Digital currency transactions allow users to convert existing digital currencies into other digital currencies. The entire transaction does not involve any legal tender. Because of the relatively loose regulation, the mainstream digital currency trading platform also opened this function.Digital Asset Exchange (DAE) is a platform for matching transactions between digital currencies, digital currencies and legal currencies. It is the main place for encrypting the circulation and price determination of digital currency transactions.

Compared with traditional stock exchanges, digital asset trading platform not only matches transactions, but also plays the role of market maker and investment bank. The role of the market maker in the trading platform can increase the liquidity of the market, and the trading platform can earn the transaction price difference. The role of the investment bank of the trading platform is to provide services such as issuance and underwriting of digital currency, from which the trading platform collects money fees, or collects deposits in the form of community voting of the trading platform.
