Smart Lighting - LeD lighting includes much more than just the LeD driver. More intelligence, communication and sensing capabilities are being added to LeD light fixtures. smart lighting involves communication and sensing functions to remotely control and monitor one or multiple light fixtures in a building, a street or a home. smart lighting also provides a light fixture with the intelligence to make adjustments based on conditions such as occupancy or ambient light. Communication can be implemented wirelessly or by using the existing powerline infrastructure. Two-way communication between a centralized control center and street lights can be implemented to form a fully networked intelligent street light system. This enables municipalities to remotely dim the light output of their street lights, thereby reducing the overall energy consumption of their street light network. Light fixtures in an office building can be controlled by using the knX protocol over an existing twisted pair wiring. Ambient light sensors and PIr (Passive Infrared) detectors can also be used to control the light output of street lighting. on semiconductor offers not only a broad range of LeD drivers suitable for diverse applications, but also has an extensive portfolio of power management/conversion products, communication products, power discretes (rectifiers, MosfeTs, IGbTs), sensors (light, temperature, occupancy, proximity, motion), filters and protection products.

Innovative, efficient and Affordable LeD Lighting solutions

Innovative, Efficient and Affordable LED Lighting Solutions
Choosing an LeD driver IC is more complicated than ever. Customers are demanding solutions that can meet global regulatory requirements such as power factor correction and eMC, deliver flicker free dimming performance, lower the bill of materials cost from previous generation solutions and deliver high efficiency and long life. Texas Instruments (TI) has a broad portfolio of AC/DC, DC/DC and linear LeD drivers that enable lighting designers to meet and exceed these challenges and deliver on the promise of innovative, energy efficient lighting. ac/dc Solutions is dimming required? Global installations of phase dimmers are less than 5% of the light switch market. To fulfill the need for small, flexible, cost optimized non-dimmable lighting, TI has released the TPs9231x series of offline, constant-current LeD drivers that reduce component count and driver solution size. The TPs9231x is a family of primary side, regulated controllers with PfC. The TPs92310 device is the controller version (external MosfeT) while the TPs92311 is a converter that integrates a 600 v, avalanche energy rated MosfeT.

its got to dim! To service the portion of the market requiring phase dimming compatibility such as forward phase TrIAC, and reverse phase electronic, TI has released the new LM3447, which joins the award winning LM3445 as the next-generation phase dimmable flyback controller (external MosfeT) for LeD lighting applications. Lm3447 Led driver FeatUreS and BeneFitS fixed frequency DCM flyback with power factor correction Integrated phase dimmer decoding with enhanced TrIAC hold current management. Primary side sensing eliminates the need for optocouplers or other secondary side feedback valley switching for improved efficiency and reduced eMI signature Thermal foldback for protecting LeDs against overtemperature conditions Constant power operation for greater LeD utilization (efficacy) TI is offering 120 and 230 v A lamp form factor demo boards to help get your design started with the new LM3447 device. Linear Led String regulators Using an off the shelf constant current ac/dc? obtaining uL certification on an AC/DC LeD driver is a daunting exercise, which prompts many customers to use off the shelf constant current drivers from major power supply manufactures. While this simplifies luminaire design considerably, often times LeD string current control is still required. TI makes this easy by using the LM3466 smart linear LeD driver for multi-channel LeD string control. The LM3466, along with just a few passive components, provides a complete system that drives each LeD string from any off-the-shelf AC/DC constant-current power supply. A unique dynamic current equalizing control scheme enables communication between each LM3466 LeD driver to divide current ratiometrically amongst multiple active LeD strings. no binning of the LeDs is required, and during an open (inactive) string state, each LM3466 automatically equalizes current throughout remaining strings to maintain relatively constant output power. Lm3466 Led driver FeatUreS and BeneFitS Integrated 70 v, 1.5 A n-Channel MosfeT with wide input range of 6 to 70 v Protection features such as fault status output, input under voltage lockout, current limit and thermal shutdown protection Linear circuitry wards against eMI and ensures compliance to eMC standards Communication between the LM3466 and constant current power supply is not required, nor is LeD voltage binning requires minimal overhead voltage to maximize electrical efficiency system output power is maintained even for any number of open strings To help get your design started with the LM3466 device, TI has developed a five LeD string evaluation board. design made easy TI is making it easy for customers to design high-performance solid state lighting solutions with a broad range of products to fit many different applications, easy access to evaluation boards and online tools. With TI's WebenCh LeD Designer suite of tools, engineers can configure a system with up to 300 LeDs in serial or parallel strings. With a single keystroke, the tool selects from hundreds of high brightness LeDs, matches an LeD with one of TI's energy-efficient LeD drivers and creates an optimized constant current source power supply circuit.

how to buy the right LeD Power supply

What is required of an LeD driver, power supply or power system? We intentionally broaden the scope to power system because the drive electronics sometimes consists of multiple modules which can be packaged and located separately. Together these separate elements form a power system. Whether a single supply/driver or multiple-element system is being considered, the primary goal is to deliver a reliable, predictable and regulated supply of current to the LeDs or LeD modules. A single module solution provides an output whose current is regulated to directly drive the LeDs. This type is often referred to as a constant current (CC) driver. At higher power levels, the CC function may be implemented separately and a constant-voltage (Cv) power supply feeds the CC driver (see Figure 1). some drivers/supplies can support both CC and Cv modes, providing the user with a single solution that can be re-used across multiple lighting platforms. A typical characteristic, as implemented in emersons LDs series of drivers (inset photo), is illustrated in Figure 2.
Figure 1: Schematic showing typical cv and cc functions

Figure 2: emersons LdS series Led drivers offer cv and cc modes

Although the choices of power supply are many in LeD lighting applications, they can be narrowed quickly through matching the power supply or driver specifications and functionality to the application. Multiple suppliers can be narrowed further by critical evaluation of their design and manufacturing processes, which will ensure that the power supply not only works as required but will also provide a reliable solution for the life of the lighting fixture. emerson network Powers high efficiency power supplies for LeD lighting, the LDs series, cover three power output bands 25, 70 and 100 W making it easy to obtain the right high quality power supply for your needs. The LDs series has a very high conversion efficiency of 86 to 90% typical, depending on the model, and features active power factor correction to help minimize users running costs. supporting both constant current and constant voltage output modes, they are also rated for operation over a wide case temperature range without forced air cooling. LDs70 and LDs100 models are available with protection ratings as high as IP67. The flexible nature of the LDs series design also enables rapid modification for your specific needs.

Infineons new reference solutions for Mr16 bulbs

Infineon introduces two reference designs for high wattage LeD based Mr16 retrofit lamps at 5 and 7 W output power. both designs use a low-cost buck topology powered by the controller ILD4001 and bsr302n optiMos. each of the designs supports magnetic and electronic transformers with test results included in application notes for some of the very common electronic transformer devices. In addition, all designs include protection features such as over current protection and over temperature protection for this temperature sensitive application. each demo is designed to fit a typical Mr16 form factor. for example, the 7 W board is set up to drive a 6-7 v output with 1 A of output current. The 5 W board is designed to support a 6-7 v output with 770 mA of output current. Currents can be modified by changing a resistor value on the board. These designs supplement the existing 3 W Mr16 demo based on the ILD2035 board, which is also compatible with electronic and magnetic transformers. The basic schematic for the high wattage schematic is as follows.

Circuits from the Lab reference Designs

engineered, tested and ready to integratethese qualities make Analog Devices Circuits from the Lab reference circuits unique. ADI engineers, known for their expertise in areas such as data conversion, signal processing and rf, have built and tested a large and expanding collection of ready-to-use circuits. The circuits address a wide range of common design challenges across many applications such as process control, instrumentation and high speed communications. each circuit is thoroughly tested and documented, and design files are freely available for download. online access to the schematics, boMs and PCb layout files enables quick and easy integration of the circuit into customer systems. Circuit hardware can be purchased to further speed evaluation and prototype. process control circuits A large number of reference circuits are available which can be integrated into programmable logic controller and distributed control systems. Input and output module circuits, temperature measurement, simultaneous sampling data acquisition and other process control design considerations are addressed. for example, Cn0209, shown in Figure 1, provides a fully programmable universal analog front end (Afe) for process control applications. The circuit offers engineers with a way to support 2-, 3-, and 4-wire rTD configurations, thermocouple inputs with cold junction compensation, unipolar and bipolar input voltages, and 4 to 20 mA inputs into their design. by providing details on the software controllable switch, designers can configure the correct modes along with a constant current source to excite the rTD. A differential amplifier is used to condition the analog input voltage range to the - ADC. The circuit provides industry-leading performance and cost. electronic test and measurement circuits Many reference circuits are available, which can be used to measure and generate low noise signals in precision instrumentation designs, or to measure and generate high frequency signals as needed in high speed systems. Circuits for precision data acquisition, such as Cn0260, demonstrate how to achieve wide dynamic range through a combination of front-end PGA auto gain and ADC oversampling. or, for high speed signal generation, Cn0141 provides an efficient way to power a dual-channel, 16-bit, high dynamic range TxDAC. high Speed communications circuits for challenging rf and clocking designs, many reference circuits are available that address some of the common design challenges often seen in these systems. for example, Cn0245 demonstrates how to easily implement a simple interface between a wideband PLL synthesizer with integrated vCo to a wideband quadrature demodulator. This circuit configuration offers quite a few benefits that make it an attractive solution in applications requiring quadrature mixing down to baseband or to an intermediate frequency. or, using Cn0259, one can achieve a high performance 65 Mhz bandwidth quad If receiver with antialiasing filter and 184.32 MsPs sampling rate.

appLicationS business equipment Industrial machines PCs Printers faxes C-Tvs Audio Air conditioners Indoor and outdoor lighting Anywhere signals or power are routed compact rt relay Family As the usage of electronic lighting controls grows, the demand for more compactly designed packages also seems to increase. This can present designers with a real challenge when they are specifying electromechanical relays for lighting applications. Many compact relays that might be acceptable for some general-purpose loads cannot handle the high inrush currents associated with lighting loads. Te's relay products offer several potential solutions for lighting applications with versions of its rT relay family. using alternate contact materials, modified contact spring designs, special internal adjustments and other techniques, Te has created various models of the compact relay that are capable of handling inrush currents up to 320 A for 1.2 ms or 220 A for 20 ms. These are the type of inrush currents associated with turning on a 16 A fluorescent or incandescent lamp load, respectively. other versions handle the inrush currents of less demanding lighting loads.
