COMPANY PROFILE: Avago Technologies – Your Best Choice for LED Products
Avago Technologies, one of the largest producers of visible light emitting diodes in the world, offers an extensive portfolio of products that provide superior reliability at globally competitive pricing.

Avago´s acclaimed AlInGaP (aluminum indium gallium phosphide) LED material offers high brightness, stable light output over many thousands of hours and excellent mean-time-before-failure (MTBF), which means that your product looks brilliant now and for a long, long time. Dazzling blue and green colors are available with InGaN (indium gallium nitride) material, and very cost-effective GaP (gallium phosphide)-based technologies are perfect for low to moderate light output requirements. Avago LEDs combine vivid colors with an array of package options suited for almost any application—and the LEDs one needs are available today.

About Avago Technologies

Avago Technologies brings together the capabilities and track record of an established global leader with the energy and responsiveness of a startup. We spent our first three decades as part of HP, where we acquired a reputation for innovation, quality and superior customer service and amassed an intellectual property portfolio of more than 2000 patents. During the next few years we continued to diversify and grow as the semiconductor division of HP's spinoff, Agilent Technologies. Then in late 2005 we were acquired by KKR and Silver Lake Partners, and became an independent company. Today we are a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications. With a global employee presence, Avago provides an extensive range of analog, mixed-signal and optoelectronic components and subsystems to more than 40,000 customers. The company's products serve four end markets: industrial and automotive, wired infrastructure, wireless communications, and computer peripherals.
