Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced that its Envisium mid-power family of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) has won this quarter's EE Times Ultimate Products award in the Interconnect, Passive and Electromechanical Components (IP&E) category. The Envisium Power PLCC-4 (plastic leaded chip carrier), jointly developed by Agilent and Lumileds Lighting, is a surface-mount LED designed for automotive exterior lighting, such as center high-mounted stoplights, front turn signals, rear combination turn, tail and stoplights, and mirror turn signals. Agilent's Envisium LED family was rated the highest among the 10 products chosen by EE Times' readers in the IP&E components award category, based on its technical significance and likelihood of use. "We are delighted that the Envisium mid-power family of LEDs has won this prestigious award," said Lee Soo Ghee, vice president and general manager for the Optoelectronic Products Division in Agilent's Semiconductor Products Group. "The superior performance and industry-best luminous output of our Envisium LEDs make them ideally suited for today's automotive lighting applications." "Agilent's Envisium Power PLCC-4 LEDs fill the gap for mid-power illumination capabilities because of their excellent performance attributes," said Gina Roos, IP&E sections editor at eeProductCenter. "The innovative use of LED die and packaging allows Envisium LEDs to deliver high reliability under extended temperatures ranging between -40 C and 100 C, which is critical for many exterior lighting applications."
