A 277-V ac lighting module using the NanoDriver Series LED driver complies with industry standard 4-kV surge testing. Prior to this, ac LED modules have been mainly used only in residential lighting applications due to the technology’s limited capability to meet the surge requirements for industrial and commercial applications. This demonstration module proves that it […]

60 V/1A buck LED driver adds dimming for commercial lighting
A wide input voltage range and integrated power MOSFET make the AL8862 buck LED driver a solution well-suited for developers of LED lighting drive circuits looking to minimize board space and reduce BoM cost with excellent analog and PWM dimming functions. With a typical output current accuracy of 5% at up to 1A and 97% […]
Fully integrated 8-channel LED boost PSiP uses switched capacitor architecture
pSemiTM Corporation (formerly Peregrine Semiconductor), a Murata company focused on semiconductor integration, introduces the PE23300, the industry’s only fully integrated LED boost power supply in package (PSiP) based on a charge-pump, switched-capacitor architecture that offloads most of the power-conversion work from the inductor to capacitors in the charge pump. Powering up to eight LED strings at […]
Deep-UV LEDs target water disinfection apps
The WD series LEDs was developed specifically for the price and performance needs of POU water disinfection. The manufacturer, Crystal IS, says the Klaran WD Series marks the first instance of an ability to break the $0.25/mW price barrier required for mass production of UVC LED based water purification products. The company will initially offer […]
Driving LED arrays, Part 2: power
Part 1 of this FAQ looked at the basics of using LEDs in series, parallel, and series/parallel arrays, the implications on the power-sourcing requirements, and the impact of an LED failure. Part 2 looks at other practical issues associated with powering the array. Q: Given the various configurations, what sort of drive is “best” for […]
Linear equation said to optimize LED positioning for energy efficiency
Open up a typical low-cost LED bulb and you may find LEDs positioned willy nilly around a metal heat-sinking plate. It turns out that not a lot of thought goes into LED positioning on many bulbs aimed at consumers. Often the result is a bulb that consumes far less power than an equivalent incandescent device but […]
Driving LED arrays, Part 1: topologies
Light-emitting diodes – often referred to simply as LEDs – have become the preferred light source in many applications, whether for area illumination, spotlighting, signage, or backlighting. While there are some applications which prefer to use a smaller number of very high-power LEDs, many applications benefit from, or must use, a larger number of lower-to-moderate-power […]
