IXYS, Zilog intro digital power control reference designs that feature IXYS power semiconductors and Zilog MCUs

BIEL, SWITZERLAND: IXYS Corp., a leader in power semiconductors and mixed signal ICs and MCUs for improved power management, energy efficiency and renewable energy, have introduced new reference designs that will be demonstrated in the PCIM Europe 2010 show in Nuremberg Germany in the IXYS Booth 12/401.

The Motor Control reference designs feature the Z8 Encore! Z8FMC16100 MCU and a brushless DC motor. A motion sensing and control design features the Zilog ZMOTIONTM with technology, based on a passive infrared sensor and the Z8 Encore! Z8FO82A microcontroller. For advanced LED lighting control, the Z8 Encore! XP Z8F1680 microcontroller based design that controls an IXYS LED driver LDS8720 driving 32 LEDs that is powered by the IXYS solar cells will also be demonstrated.

“We are delighted to bring to Europe the innovative spirit of Silicon Valley, with the integration of our power semiconductors and the Zilog world renowned MCUs. The demonstration will feature the use of the Apple iPad as an advanced control and demonstration platform by our Zilog team headed by Darin Billerbeck, CEO of Zilog,” commented Dr. Nathan Zommer, CEO of IXYS.
