Integreret løsning til power LEDs
Cypress lancerer single-chip power controllere, der både kan styre og drive high-power LEDs (in english).
Cypress Semiconductor today introduced the PowerPSoC family of integrated embedded power controllers, the industry's first single-chip solution for both controlling and driving high-power LEDs. The PowerPSoC family integrates four constant-current regulators and four 32V MOSFETs with Cypress's PSoC programmable system-on-chip, which includes a microcontroller, programmable analog and digital blocks, and memory.
This unprecedented level of integration provides customers with a single-chip solution for high-quality LED-based lighting products, and extends into other embedded applications such as white goods and industrial control. The result is end systems with fewer components, faster design cycles, lower power consumption and higher reliability.
The companion software for PowerPSoC, the PSoC Designer(tm) development tool, enables designers to quickly and efficiently program the controllers for different lighting and power options. It also allows changes late in the design cycle without having to change the circuit board layout.
- We are bringing the unique PSoC value propositions-integration, flexibility and programmable analog-to a new set of applications and customers. PowerPSoC represents an important step in the development of the PSoC platform, as well as the entire Cypress product line, says Curtis Davis, vice president of Cypress's PowerPSoC Division.
- General illumination, medical, and architectural LED lighting applications all stand to benefit from the combination of integration and programmability offered by PowerPSoC, states Jeff Shepard, President of Darnell Group, Inc.
- Those same applications offer long-term compound growth for the next five years of over 90%/year, as well as immediate growth potential in 2009.
