LED Lantern

Designers have the option of not only controlling the power stage, but regulating LED currents as well, eliminating the need for multiple components and reducing system cost. Systems can be designed to accurately control voltage and current regulation for precise light intensity and color mixing, temperature monitoring to prevent thermal runaway, intelligent/adaptive dimming, and fault detection (over voltage/current, blown string). Communication with external systems is also possible via power-line communication (PLC), wireless technology or interfaces.

LED lighting designers are challenged with meeting their efficiency and reliability goals faster in advanced lighting designs. TI’s lighting portfolio is helping designers achieve their goals at a faster rate.
