Power Integrations Launches New LED Lighting Application Design Ideas

Posted on: Friday, 15 February 2008, 12:00 CST

Power Integrations, a provider of analog integrated circuits, has introduced three new LED lighting application Design Idea DI-173, DI-172 and DI-136 to implement LED lighting faster, simpler and more efficient.

Design Idea DI-173 describes a LED driver power supply circuit that uses Power Integrations's TNY279GN, a member of the TinySwitch-III offline switcher family. The circuit operates in high ambient temperatures of up to 75 degrees centigrade, and meets the requirements of energy efficiency standards including the proposed requirements of Energy Star 2.0, CEC 2008 and the EU CoC.

Design Idea DI-172 details a circuit design for a high efficiency constant current, offline, buck converter able to drive a long string of up to 20 LEDs delivering a constant current of 130mA.

Design Idea DI-136 describes 75W single stage flyback power supply with power factor correction for use with LED Lighting ballasts, based on Power Integrations' TOP250YN, a member of the TOPSwitch-GX family.

Silvestro Fimiani, product marketing manager of Power Integrations, said: "Energy efficiency is grabbing headlines worldwide as governments, corporations and individuals look to reduce waste, comply with legislation and live in a more environmentally-friendly manner. The lighting industry has a tremendous opportunity to make a real difference, and these Design Ideas show how designers can maximize the benefits offered by LED lighting technology, as well as simplifying and speeding up the design process."
