- Fujitsu Announces Fast-Response DC/DC Converter IC for Consumer Electronics
Tokyo, November 16, 2009 – Fujitsu Microelectronics Limited today announced a new two-channel DC/DC converter IC with fast transient response, for use in digital consumer products, such as LCD TVs and digital video recorders. This new DC/DC converter IC, the MB39A145, utilizes a “bottom detection comparator method”, and includes new enhanced circuits which provide changes in voltage, for changes in current to realize a more stable and low ripple output voltage. This improved stability subsequently reduces the number of external components that are needed, such as condensers, thus reducing space. The IC also includes Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) that is highly efficient in low-current ranges, and allows the equipment to have low power consumption in stand-by mode. Samples of the new converter IC will be available from January 2010.

- Fujitsu Develops World's First Gallium-Nitride HEMT for Power Supply
Kawasaki, Japan, June 24, 2009 – Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. today announced the development of a new structure for gallium-nitride high electron-mobility transistors (GaN)(HEMT) that can minimize power loss in power supplies, thus enabling reduced power consuFmption of electronic equipment such as IT hardware and home electronics. The new technology blocks the flow of current from power supplies in stand-by mode and produces high-density current when turned on (on-state current), and has the potential to cut power consumption of electronic equipment by one-third. If applied to data centers, Fujitsu's new GaN HEMT would be able to reduce total power consumption by 12%, thereby resulting in the effect of removing 330,000 tons of CO2 from Japan as a whole.
