Aite Mel launched high efficiency multi string LED drive products

The micro controller and touch solutions leader Atmel Corp (AtmEL Corporation) announced the launch of a new intelligent lighting and backlight for solid-state lighting market multi series LED driver, LED driver Mel Aite comprehensive product series for design engineers to provide verification efficiency after the optimizer industry (efficiency optimizer EO) technology, flexible dimming option, wide power range adjustment ability, user programmable ability and low cost of bill of materials (BOM). LED application of these features for rapid growth, including the direct type and side light type LCD TV, computer monitor, industrial, military and aerospace equipment display, and general lighting applications business, family, industrial and infrastructure markets.

The efficiency of technology optimizer LED driver Mel with these Aite patent pending, as far as possible the actual level to the lowest power consumption reduction. This technology allows designers to use any isolated or non isolated DC to DC or AC to DC converter topology, at the same time through the additional voltage to minimize the LED string, in a dynamic way to maintain the highest system efficiency. Aite Mel LED drive can let LCD TV get high 10M:1 dynamic contrast and minimum dynamic fuzzy (motion-blur), the new product can also provide more than PWM dimming range of 10000:1 to PC display and display industry. In solid-state lighting applications, the new LED driver IC and micro controller can provide dynamic Mel's white point adjustment, color mixing, and provide network lighting function with Zigbee, DALI and other standards. Other features include comprehensive fault management capabilities, LED aging and thermal control, the ability to use on-chip EEPROM programmability, and the ability to use a minimum of DC to DC converters to provide a wide range of LED strings. Research institutions IMS Research analyst Mitess Nandha said: "LED lighting applications is the future market LED drive IC, is expected to at least until 2016, an average annual growth rate of more than 35%. We expect significant growth in both the home and outdoor markets, and strong growth in the office and commercial indoor areas. In these emerging markets, the threshold of entry is still low, those who provide more efficient, more intelligent and more features of the drive products suppliers, will have the opportunity to achieve rapid growth. Art Mel also introduced the latest flexible LED drive products for lighting and backlighting in two areas, is expected to become the major manufacturers. "Mel Aite intelligent power product marketing director Tushar Dhayagude said:" the Mel was very glad to be some of the fastest growing areas in the semiconductor industry. More and more LCD panel and lighting applications using LED technology, can create a huge opportunity for Art Mel to make full use of the microcontroller architecture industry leading to challenge the efficiency, programmability, and simple solution cost limit. "String LED LED IC driver Mel Aite is divided into three types, including external MOSFET current absorber for high power LED lighting and side illumination applications; for direct type backlight illumination and low power LED lighting internal MOSFET current sink, as well as for the computer display and the industrial, medical and military display integrated power controller. Supply and price Mel Aite can now provide Atmel series LED driver sample. Order 1000, the price of each drive type starts at $2.50 to $5.
