Infineon configurable LED driver meets new flicker standards

Infineon is sampling a configurable LED driver aimed at easing the implementation of new flicker standards. It is due in production in January 2017.

This was made possible by eliminating the low frequency variation from the mains supply and guaranteeing a stable output.
Aiming at high energy efficiency, the low stand-by power facilitates permanent operation of the Electronic Control Gear (ECG). With a stand-by power of less than 70 mW, the XDPL8220 reduces power consumption in the non-active mode while still reacting to external events or user requests.
The digital core of the XDPL8220 enables a variety of systems based on the same device. Its control algorithms provide the possibility to realize lighting for constant current or constant voltage mode in the same circuit.
The power limitation mode keeps the light on while it optimally utilizes the capabilities of the components.
The chip’s operating constraints are adjustable to meet the target application enabling an increase of the feature set without external parts.
