PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 2, 2012--
Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIOD), a leading global manufacturer and
supplier of high-quality application specific standard products within
the broad discrete, logic and analog semiconductor markets, today
announced the ZXLD1371 LED driver controller. By extending input voltage
operation from 60V down to as low as 5.0V, the ZXLD1371 has been
designed to handle as broad a range of applications as possible,
including those subject to the greatest variance in input voltage, such
as automotive lighting and 12V AC powered systems. Its ability to
control an external driver FET in buck, boost and buck-boost driver
topologies makes it an all-in-one solution, capable of driving as many
as 20 high-current LEDs in boost mode with a high level of accuracy.
Employing patent pending control loops and single resistor high-side
current sensing, the ZXLD1371 will deliver a typical output current
tolerance of 1%, helping to produce improvements in brightness control
and lamp luminance matching. The LED driver controller offers users
dimming over a wide dynamic range, through separate 20:1 DC dimming and
1000:1 PWM dimming options, resulting in higher accuracy light control
particularly at lower brightness levels.
To further improve the reliability of LED lamp systems, the ZXLD1371
provides thermal management of LEDs via a dedicated external thermistor
input, which combined with fault diagnostic outputs reporting LED load
and driver status, helps to increase LED longevity. Switching at up to
1MHz, the TSSOP-16EP packaged LED driver controller will also help
minimize circuit size by reducing the value of the external inductor.
