Dimmable LED controller powers efficient lighting

The SSL2103 includes the functionality and performance of its sister product, the SSL2101, while extending the application reach towards higher-power solutions.

This reach is achieved through external power switches and its ability to operate dimmable or non-dimmable ballasts.

The SSL2103 is suitable for all AC/DC LED lighting segments with extended power range and extended dimmer compatibility.

Each product in the SSL210x range integrates the same controller functions for a wide range of LED lamp applications.

The SSL2101 and the SSL2102 are fully integrated dimmable LED drivers for highly compact low-power (below 25W in an external ballast configuration or below 15W in a lamp retrofit form factor).

The SSL2103 is designed to target higher-power LED lighting (PAR20, PAR30 and PAR38) and to offer flexibility to lamp designers in terms of power rating, form factor and dimmer control.

The device is said to achieve a lifetime performance of more than 75,000 hours at nominal operating temperature.

NXP products in the AC/DC LED portfolio can be applied to isolated or non-isolated lamps.

They can also be applied in 100V, 110V or 230V AC network and form factors for E27, GU10 or PARx lamps.

The portfolio of products also includes integrated switches and bleeder circuitry, enabling a small form factor and less PCB surface.

NXP will be exhibiting at Lightfair International, from 12-14 May 2010 at the Las Vegas Convention Center at booth 2635.
