Green Devices Here Before RoHS Requirements

"Aeluros today announced the immediate availability of green variants of its Puma 10 Gbps physical layer IC devices. These products address the increasingly sensitive commercial and political pressures for environmentally friendly products. Aeluros aligns lead-free, green, and RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) requirements under the unified 'green' designation, and Aeluros' products eliminate lead and the other 5 RoHS-restricted substances (lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB and PBDE) from the package molding, solder balls, package substrate, and die attach epoxy. This leadership position represents a continuation of Aeluros' efforts to emphasize customer interest well ahead of legislative requirements." Source: PRNewsWire
