Arrow Electronics, Inc. (NYSE:ARW) has teamed with Cree and National
Semiconductor Corp. to deliver a reference design for a flicker-free,
wide-dimming-range LED driver board. The new reference design empowers
engineers to rapidly develop an LED lighting solution, featuring white
LEDs on a programmable board that meets the ENERGY STAR power
requirements.
The reference design specifies Cree’s XLamp® LED package,
with the brightness of four LEDs in a single chipset. The chipset offers
added convenience and cost savings by reducing the number of LEDs and
optics required. The reference design also includes National’s LM3445
TRIAC dimmable LED driver, which delivers the industry’s first
flicker-free, wide 100:1 dimming range. Customers designing the LED
driver board are fully supported by Arrow’s in-depth technical expertise
and comprehensive services and solutions.
"Working with partners like National and Cree, Arrow continually
identifies new, intelligent lighting solutions that provide greater
flexibility, enhanced convenience and cost savings," said Dan Gatza,
director of Arrow Electronics’ lighting segment. "This LED driver board
reference design is a complete solution with innovative features, ideal
for a range of commercial, residential and industrial lighting
applications.”
