“With the NCP5603, ON Semiconductor is expanding its white LED driver portfolio, offering the first in a series of high efficiency charge pump-based solutions targeted at cell phone form factors that have critical space constraints. This series offers engineers high efficiency charge pump solutions with maximum flexibility in terms of output current control, short circuit protection, highly accurate current matching for backlighting and camera flash, while house in small, low profile DFN packages.”

“[Hogan also likes Intel for a position in the semiconductor industry.] Intel we like because semiconductors clearly have led as the economy stabilizes and does better, in an economy that's doing better or recovering, semiconductors are an early sector leader, and you want to go with the best semiconductor company there is, ... So Intel is an obvious choice as a recovery play.”

“The semiconductor industry is very, very cyclical; and when things are good - which they are now - they're always better than were expected. Of course, when things turn down, they always hit harder than anybody would have guessed. And right now what's happening on Wall Street is a lot of people are trying to kind of guess the top: are we there yet? There's really no way to tell.”
