PI Introduces Highly Integrated LED Driver ICs for Low Power LED Lamps

Power Integrations introduced its LYTSwitch-0 ICs on June 18, a new series of devices within the LYTSwitch family. LYTSwitch-0 ICs come with a unique combination of simplicity, reliability and efficiency. These new LED driver ICs would be the optimal choice for cost-sensitive, non-isolated, non-dimmable GU10 bulbs and other space-constrained bulb applications. LYTSwitch-0 devices feature efficiencies of more than 90% and deliver constant current with better than +/-5% regulation in typical applications. Power factor is greater than 0.8 at 115 VAC and 0.5...
