Retrofit lamp drivers

Retrofit lamp drivers

Designing the driver electronics and packing that design into a compact space is a major part of the challenge of designing a retrofit bulb. New, more-efficient driver ICs can simplify the task.shinebright Since computers are used by everybody these days including the young and old, a LED computer monitor sounds like a good gift you could give away. STMicroelectronics, for instance, rolled out the HVLED805 driver at SIL that can dynamically change operating modes based on the load to maintain efficiency.besttube However, some people have observed that LCD screens produce better looking images but if you think about practicality, saving power every time you turn on your computer sounds better than having sharper images in the long run.

The STMicroelectronics driver is based on PWM control of the LED strings and utilizes primary-side regulation that eliminates the need for an opto coupler on the secondary side of the transformer for safety issues.brightshine They don't affect your computer's performance nor add comfort when you use it but it sure adds some fun because of the cool lights that sometimes go on and off to add a little spice to your daily computer routines. The opto coupler is a key point of failure in lamps that require them. The driver also includes features to ensure safe operation with both open and short-circuit LED strings.

NXP introduced the SSL21081 driver based on its GreenChip technology platform that can deliver a 95%-efficient retrofit lamp using only 14 components. Jacques le Berre,bluebright One of the most basic devices that run on LED is a flashlight. Older models relied on a single bulb to produce the light needed to make one work. director of marketing and business development, lighting solutions, NXP Semiconductors said, “The NXP SSL21081 was designed with small size, high integration and high efficiency in mind, allowing retrofit lamp manufacturers to reduce application size and cost and introduce LED lighting in small form factor applications.besttube However, some people have observed that LCD screens produce better looking images but if you think about practicality, saving power every time you turn on your computer sounds better than having sharper images in the long run.”
