NXP Extends LED Driver ICs for Compact, Non-Dimmable Lamps
NXP Semiconductors N.V today announced the availability of several new LED driver ICs in its SSL2108x family for compact, non-dimmable retrofit lamps, following the success of the SSL21081. With the addition of the SSL21082, SSL21083 and SSL21084, NXP now provides a single platform for lamp designers developing for 100V – 120V and 230V mains voltages, as well as all power ranges up to 25 W. Based on GreenChip™ technology, the SSL2108x family has been optimized for non-isolated topologies with high output voltages, and for applications in which compatibility with triac dimmers is not required.
CompNXP will showcase the SSL2108x family at Strategies in Light in Santa Clara, California from February 7-9, 2012 (booth 511).
