Future Electronics Promotes Adjustable Current Regulators from Diodes

Pointe Claire, Quebec (realtimepressrelease) March 23, 2016 – Future Electronics, a global leading distributor of electronic components, has announced immediate shipping availability of BCR420U/421U adjustable current regulators from Diodes, to simplify the driving of LED strips.

The BCR420U/BCR421U monolithically integrates a transistor, diodes and resistors to function as a Constant Current Regulator (CCR) for linear LED driving. The device regulates with a preset 10mA nominal that can be adjusted with external resistor up to 350mA. It is designed for driving LEDs in strings and will reduce current at increasing temperatures to self-protect.

Operating as a series linear CCR for LED string current control, it can be used in multiple applications, as long as the maximum supply voltage to the device is <40V.

The BCR420U/BCR421U has an operating junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and is AEC-Q101 qualified.

T5 Data Centers Signs Sutherland Asbill & Brennan for Turnkey Colocation Services at T5@Atlanta Facility

Global Law Firm Gains Better Cost Controls with T5 Enterprise Solutions Suite.

Atlanta, GA, USA — T5 Data Centers™, innovators in providing state-of-the-art, customizable and highly reliable computing support environments, today announced that Sutherland Asbill & Brennan LLP, an international legal practice, has signed as the latest customer for T5’s Enterprise Solutions Suite at the company’s T5@Atlanta data center. By licensing colocation and enterprise services from T5 Data Centers, the law firm will be able to take advantage of T5’s “Smart-Tech” remote hands support as well as “ColoFlex” metered power services to more closely align costs with consumption.

Sutherland Asbill & Brennan is the latest law firm to sign as a T5 customer, whose secure and resilient enterprise colocation environments are well suited to host the critical data center needs of legal and financial services firms. The combination of enterprise-grade facilities, services and connectivity solutions was compelling enough for Sutherland to relocate its data center from Virginia to T5@Atlanta while positioning them for long-term growth as they provide secure data access to partners and offices around the globe. As part of its move into the T5@Atlanta colocation facility, the firm also plans to take advantage of T5 Facilities Management (T5FM) services, which provides comprehensive data center operations and management to ensure optimal uptime while managing total costs. In addition, T5’s Enterprise Solutions Suite includes a consumable infrastructure billing model with metered power and managed bandwidth, so the law firm only pays for services it actually uses.

“Our ColoFlex consumption-based billing model was a key factor in Sutherland’s decision to move its data center operations to T5@Atlanta,” said Craig McKesson, Executive Vice President of Enterprise Solutions for T5. “As companies continue to move toward hybrid cloud deployments they’re looking for a way to better align the cost models of their private environments to those of the public cloud. T5 ColoFlex offers the best of both by providing the added advantages of better data control and security, better reliability as well as cost containment while also enabling our customers to connect to their preferred public cloud environments. We’re excited to welcome Sutherland Asbill & Brennan into T5 and expect to see more law firms move away from paper archives and adopt an extensible data repository to simplify data access and strengthen regulatory compliance.”

T5 Data Centers currently offers turnkey enterprise services at its T5@Atlanta and T5@LA data centers. T5’s Enterprise Solutions provides a simplified approach to IT, offering top-tier managed networking and colocation services purpose-built to meet each customer’s unique demands.
