ON Semiconductor Introduces Fixed-Frequency Current-Mode Controller for High Efficiency, Compact Adapter Solutions

Mon, 22 Feb 2010 07:00:00 GMT

APPLIED POWER ELECTRONICS CONFERENCE (APEC), PALM SPRINGS, Calif. - Booth # 315 – Feb. 22, 2010 – ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ONNN) a premier supplier of high performance, energy efficient silicon solutions for green electronics today announced the introduction of the NCP1237, NCP1238 and NCP1288 fixed-frequency, current-mode controller ICs. Targeted at AC-DC adapter applications for laptop/notebook computers, LCD displays, printers, and household consumer electronics, the new controllers are available in a choice of frequency options with single or dual level over current thresholds. The standard device has a built-in 65 kHz oscillator, with 100 kHz and 133 kHz versions supplied on request.

The proprietary Soft−Skip™ mode utilized by these ICs ramp the peak current gradually during skip mode, reducing the risk of audible noise. This allows additional component savings, along with easing the design and manufacture of the transformer. Combining this with a frequency fold-back function, the new controllers deliver high efficiency levels in light load conditions, while minimizing input power during no load conditions.

The Dynamic Self−Supply (DSS) function of the NCP1237 and NCP1238 provide an integrated start-up current source that intelligently handles start-up and line transient events. This simplifies the design of the auxiliary supply, reducing the size of the VCC capacitor. To minimize external component count, the controllers integrate brown-out, over-power compensation and ramp compensation, allowing a compact solution to be designed.

The new fixed-frequency, current-mode controller ICs have an operational temperature range of −40 °C to +125 °C and are offered in a compact SOIC-7 package.

“With utility bills continuing to increase and concerns about the environment growing, it is vital to use electrical power at the greatest possible rates of efficiency,” said Christophe Warin, AC-DC business unit manager at ON Semiconductor. “The NCP1237, NCP1238 and NCP1288 are highly integrated solutions that will allow engineers to develop power system designs that maintain strong reliability, have a low bill-of-materials and do not waste energy when the product is in standby mode.”

The NCP1237 controller will be featured in a live demo at the ON Semiconductor booth (#315) during APEC, which takes place Feb. 22-25, 2010 in Palm Springs, Calif.

During 2009, ON Semiconductor reduced its overall gross debt by approximately $76 million and increased its cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments by approximately $113 million. We believe we entered 2010 in the strongest financial position in the company’s history with over $571 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and lowest net debt position in the company’s history of approximately $362 million. We continue to look for opportunities to grow our product portfolio and completed the acquisition of California Micro Devices Corporation (CMD) on Jan. 27, 2010. CMD’s expertise in protection solutions for the high brightness LED (HBLED) market, as well as their strengths in LC-based EMI (electromagnetic interference) filtering and low capacitance ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection complement our existing portfolio of protection and lighting solutions.”

FIRST QUARTER 2010 OUTLOOK
“Based upon product booking trends, backlog levels and estimated turns levels, we anticipate that total revenues will be approximately $515 to $525 million in the first quarter of 2010,” Jackson said. “Backlog levels at the beginning of the first quarter of 2010 were up from backlog levels at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2009 and represent over 90 percent of our anticipated first quarter 2010 revenues. We expect that average selling prices for the first quarter of 2010 will be down approximately one to two percent sequentially. The non-GAAP outlook for the first quarter of 2010 includes stock based compensation expense of approximately $13 to $14 million. The following table outlines our first quarter 2010 GAAP and non-GAAP outlook.”

Q1 2010 Business Outlook

* Convertible Notes, Non-cash Interest Expense are included in FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 470 Debt.
** Fully diluted share count can vary for among other things, the actual exercise of options or restricted stock units, the incremental dilutive shares from all of the company’s convertible senior subordinated notes, and the repurchase or the issuance of stock or the sale of treasury shares. Please refer to the table on our website for potential changes to the Fully Diluted Share Count.
*** Special Items can include: restructuring, asset impairments and other, net; expensing of appraised inventory fair market value (FMV) step up; amortization of intangibles; goodwill impairments; income tax adjustments to approximate cash taxes; non-cash interest expense and certain other special items as necessary.
**** Regulation G and other provisions of the securities laws regulate the use of financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide important supplemental information to investors. We use these measures, together with GAAP measures, for internal managerial purposes and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. However, we do not, and you should not, rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone as measures of our performance. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that – when taken together with GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures that we also provide in our releases – provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures, even if they have similar names.
