National Semiconductor WEBENCH LED Architect design tools to simplify and speed up the lighting system design process

The new design tools can be used in a few minutes in the WEBENCH database using a variety of different LED, drives and radiators to design up to 100000 lumens of lighting systems

National Semiconductor Corporation Ns (National Semiconductor Corporation) (listed on the New York stock exchange code: NSM) announced that the company's award-winning WEBENCH Designer series design tools and a new WEBENCH LED Architect design tools. This is the first set of the industry can be used to design the system architecture of LED tools, both circuit design expert or junior engineers can easily in a few minutes and real-time comparison of various lighting system design complex, in order to find the optimal solution between system performance, size and cost. The whole design process divided into several steps, the designer type requirements of the luminous flux output (Liu Ming) value, then turn the optimization design of WEBENCH turntable unique, to assess the project size, conversion efficiency and cost, and then according to the parameters selected a revised design. The designer can be related to components required for modeling in the online order, also can share the design results with other peers, but also easy to include schematics, bill of materials (BOM) and the performance parameters of the whole project, print out the report.

- European lighting technology strategy (Strategies in Light Europe) - Frankfurt, Germany (September 27, 2010 to 29)

EDN LED, design technology seminar (EDN Designing with LEDs) - Illinois Chicago (September 29, 2010)

- Chinese solid-state lighting technology conference (China Solid-State Lighting Conference) - Shanghai China (October 14, 2010 to 16)

Phil vice president of national semiconductor technology sales tools Mr. Gibson said: "we can ensure that the creative designers spend just a few minutes to make comparisons in as many as one hundred line layout. WEBENCH LED Architect design tool allows them to play free imagination, in order to bring the unique lighting system design at the lowest cost. "National semiconductor WEBENCH LED Architect design tool WEBENCH LED Architect is a quick response, and display system characteristics in graphical design tools, lighting system can output 100000 lumens to provide design support. This tool can balance LED performance, drive current and thermal compensation in seconds. In addition, this tool can also analyze the performance of 12 leading manufacturers recently launched the LED, the 30 models of the radiator, the performance of the 35 LED drives, the database also maintains the relevant information of the 21000 passive components. Users only need to focus on the test results of the system level, other complex issues related to electronic characteristics and heat dissipation can be handed over by the WEBENCH LED Architect solution. Users can also use the electronic characteristics of the simulation test function, in order to repeatedly test, verify or filter components. Simply log on to the LED lamp to provide a constant drive current to ensure that the color and brightness of each LED lamp are kept in a wide operating temperature range. The national semiconductor driver has dimming, thermal management and fault protection functions, so it can improve the lighting effect of different lighting systems. The WEBENCH LED Architect web design details of a series of national semiconductor LED drive products, including having a dynamic voltage scaling function of LM3464 chip, equipped with heat control function of LM3424 chip, and is suitable for AECQ-100 automotive electronic application system LM3409HV high current MOSFET controller.
