Active-Semi is to showcase a breakthrough LED lighting solution at the 4th Lighting Japan LED/OLED Technology Expo in Tokyo on January 18-20.
The new ACT801/802 LED driver ICs are based on Active-Semi's patented Active Direct Drive(TM)and patent-pending Active Valley Fill(TM) technologies. This solution dramatically reduces an LED bulb component count from over 50 devices down to 10 and eliminates the need for the electrolytic capacitor and magnetic components while eliminating conventional flicker and stroboscopic effects.
With superior efficiency and power factor correction, the ACT801/802 are ideal for advanced energy saving solid-state lighting (SSL) applications. The reduced component count and built-in over temperature/voltage/current regulation ensures high reliability and long life LED based luminaire designs.
Additionally, the Active Direct Drive(TM) LED family of products will add 12W devices in the second quarter of this year.
All are available in the space saving, thermally enhanced SOP-16EP package and are pin-compatible.
