As LEDs continue to penetrate a wide rangeof diverse market sectors and become thepreferred means of lighting, the requirement forcircuit protection cannot be ignored. In manyillumination applications, multiple LEDs areconnected in series strings to achieve light outputcomparable to their incandescent or fluorescentcounterparts. Some solid-state lighting luminairesare configured in series strings of twenty or more LEDs.

Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)are fast becoming the mostpopular lighting option.Industry forecasts anticipatethe market will continue toexpand at an annual rate of20% from 2011 to 2016,with the greatest growthcoming in the commercialand industrial lightingsectors. As incandescentlamps have been madelargely obsolete, given the U.S. governments mandate to saveenergy, they have frequently been replaced by LEDs due totheir long life (typically 25,000 hrs.) and the ease of adaptingthem to many different socket and shape requirements.

Modern field instruments, otherwise known as smart transmitters, are intelligent microprocessor-based field instruments that monitor process control variables (e.g., temperature, mass flow rate, and pressure). The incorporation of extra intelligence, functionality, and diagnostic capabilities, while developing a system which can operate effectively within the limited power available from 4 mA to 20 mA loop, is the immediate challenge facing system designers. Strict safety standards, space constraints, HART communication, diagnostics, and predictive maintenance will be key trends in the future.

NXP BL Interface Products is incredibly proud to announce that 2012 proved to be its most successful year ever. Global POS missed hitting the $200,000,000 level by only a small fraction!!! 2013 could and SHOULD go even higher with dozens of new products released in the second half of 2012, and more products are on the way. Our business development team has been hard at work gaining key sockets on widespread reference designs which will launch in 2013. The channel has a great opportunity to secure these sockets at their EMS, ODM and OEM partners using these reference designs.

The adoption of LEDs for general lighting is just around the corner. LEDs offer many advantages in general illumination systems, including longer lifetimes and greater efficiency. However, there are some challenges associated with LED technology. One challenge has to do with the generation of high-quality white light. This article illustrates how to use small microcontrollers for color control of LED lighting systems.

AlteraCycloneV FPGAs help designers reduce to tal system cost in a number of ways. Designers benefit not only from TSMCs 28-nm Low Power (28LP)
manufacturing process, but also from the architectural decisions that have gone into the Cyclone V device family and the array of powerful productivity-enhancing tools featured in Alteras design tool ecosystem.

MOONS has successfully developed LED lighting control systems based on RS485 bus configurations, wireless and power line carrier communications. The systems have been widely used in multiple projects, such as Dalian Road Tunnel, Tangling Tunnel, Qianjiang Tunnel, Guangzhou-Zhuhai West Expressway Tunnel (Period Ⅲ) and etc.

The latest power ASICs from International Rectifier provide a wide variety of innovative and cost-effective solutions that span across several applications. These include power factor correction (PFC), synchronous rectification, AC/DC power supplies, and general lighting. Each of these applications requires a specific set of features and functions that are essential in the definition of their respective ASIC, and all requirements must be met while meeting efficiency and cost targets.

In this report we will combine a number of experiences of actual domestic and foreign application to share our thoughts on several key issues in the application of LED road lighting such as: how exactly do LED street lamps implement energy savings? Do the reliability and lifetime of LED street lamps meet the demands of large-scale promotion and application? When stressing overall LED street light efficiency, how do we also ensure high levels of visual comfort?

The worldwide market for light bulbs was a little over 20 billion units for the year 2010 with the LED unit count approximately 0.5% or 96 million units, Figure 1. The LED unit count includes all types of LED units ranging from automotive, traffic lights, signage, to specialty and camera flash.

With todays growing demands for increased energysavings and reduced power consumption, light emittingdiodes or LEDs have become the solution of choicefor the next generation of lighting applications. As aresult, more and more attention is being paid to protectingagainst damage from EOS (electrical overstress) events,which, specifically, refer to any undesirable voltage,current or power that the LED application can besubjected to.

LEDs are driving a paradigm shift away from traditional incandescent lights toward energy efficient, longer life and sustainable solutions. From street lights to giant video screens, from car headlights to indoor illumination, SSL systems offer compelling benefits and are already making strides toward transforming the industry. Todays advanced LED lighting technologies can deliver the sustainability, scalability, and design flexibility that OEMs need to engineer competitive solutions for the SSL residential, commercial and industrial markets.

The lighting industry is undergoing rapid changes in the quest for energyefficiency, longer life, and performance. As the worlds leading supplier ofpassive components, Yageo offers full range of reliable, efficient andinnovative components for illuminations and lighting applications.

Make no mistake LEDs are the lighting devices of the future! With LEDs, lighting becomes electronic replacing a technology that has seen few changes over the past 100 years or so. Light-emitting diodes are powered by low direct current and therefore do not easily fit into our mains systems.

TI today introduced the industrys smallest off-line, phase-dimmable, constant-current lighting controller and an easy-to-use lighting driver that simplify the retrofit of a variety of LED bulbs, including E14, GU10, A19, PAR20/30/38, MR16 and AR111. The TPS92075 controller and TPS92560 driver reduce component count and solution size while improving compatibility with legacy lighting controls.

A couple of significant LED-related news events were made public in March of 2013 that I believe are more than just coincidental. Their symbiotic connection is the accumulation of many years of intense work, market acceptance and with a large dose of synergistic technological breakthroughs thrown in for good measure.

Silicon MEMS-based oscillators are the preferred timing solution for many lighting systems, especially those used in industrial and commercial locations. MEMS oscillators have better performance and reliability compared to quartz-based devices. The flexible features and special functions in MEMS oscillators help resolve design issues. Plus MEMS timing offers lower cost and shorter lead-times for lighting manufactures.

Standard LED drivers cannot be directly connected to the Triac dimmers. A solution to this dilemma, an LED driver based on HVLED815PF (STs new LED driver chip) will be discussed in this article.

The NCL30080/81/82/83 from ON Semiconductor are quasi-resonant current-mode controllers which precisely regulate a constant LED current from the primary side, and incorporate all the features and protection needed to design compact low wattage LED drivers with a minimum of external components. This application note provides key equations and criteria to design a 12 W, wide mains LED driver using the NCL3008x family. It also summarizes the equations useful to select the components around the NCL3008x controllers.

Its not as easy as incandescent bulbs for LED to implement Triac dimming function in terms of compatibility ,cost ,reliability ; while ADPower offers variety of solutions in dealing with indoor LED lighting driver, outdoor LED lighting driver and intelligent controlling solution.
