PI released power supply product reference design kit, help LED lighting

Power Integrations the day before announcing the launch of a super small power supply reference design kit (RDK-131). It can help the engineers to design the LED power efficiency to replace incandescent lamp energy, the suite also provides a designer can add power LED bulb socket, and make sure that the LED lighting power supply products to replace the incandescent lamp to meet the standard of electromagnetic compatibility requirements.

Incandescent lamps can be powered directly from the power grid, in contrast, each LED bulb requires a power source built into its GU10 (or E27) or socket.

"Make a small space can be inserted so the power circuit is not an easy job, especially when the electromagnetic interference suppression effectively you need to meet the test standard. In order to solve the difficult problem of application, Power Integrations launched the SO-8 seal Zhuang smaller for non isolated offline switch ICs a series of LinkSwitch-TN products. Using this device the RDK-131 reference design kit includes a power supply through the sample, test sample and blank PCB, LinkSwitch-TN on how to use ICs LED lighting design we design guide. This reference design kit will greatly simplify the design of LED lighting, speed up the time to enter the market. PI AC-DC, director of product marketing manager Don Ashley said.

Because of the thermal effect caused by power generation accounted for forty percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, the relevant management agencies and governments around the world are looking for ways to reduce energy consumption. For example, in a recent debate in Parliament (Reuters/Yahoo Wednesday, January 31, 2007), California congressman Lloyd Levine commented: "the incandescent lamp is the development and use of about 125 years, its efficiency is very low, in which power consumption, only five percent are converted into light. "If his proposal - 'how many MPs would be needed to change the light bulb bill,' to get through, California will be banned from using incandescent lights from 2012. In stark contrast to incandescent light bulbs, LED bulbs consume only 1/3 of the incandescent lamp power consumption and have a longer life expectancy.

RDK-131 price of $100, today you can buy through www.powerintsamples.com.
