Slide 4


These new ICs reduce the overall BOM cost by 10 percent to 20 percent and enable a smaller overall solution size (compared to iWatt’s earlier, iW3614 LED driver) by replacing FETs with lower cost BJTs (bipolar junction transistors), reducing the component count in the protection circuit and EMI filtering, and by using a smaller, lower-cost E-capacitor.

Calling this a "design article" is a bit of a stretch isn't it? Lots of single-page ads are more "educational" than this. But from a marketing guy's perspective, this is a cheap way to get an ad in front of engineers. But let's call it what it is, please.

If a certain product changed its characteristics, it means designers worked on it. I don't mind such informative articles on this site)
