1:5 output voltage LED drivers reduce inventory costs
The drivers offer a stable 1:5 LED output voltage range.
The developmen allows the first Solo 4 W to 40 W model to offer a DC output voltage from 11 V to 54 V in 350 mA, 500 mA and 700 mA forward current options. The second model offers an 11V to 40 V output voltage range, with output forward current options of 1000 mA and 500 mA.
Lighting fixture manufacturers can now select from two LED driver models to cover the majority of their LED fixtures, helping to reduce LED driver inventory by using one LED driver to cover a complete range of LED fixtures, which saves money and increases availability, whilst using a trusted and reliable LED driver brand.
Dr Geoff Archenhold, founder of IST, explained: “We listened to customers that wanted to reduce the number of LED drivers they had to purchase for their LED lighting portfolios and simultaneously reduce the costs of the drivers. We pushed the limits for single stage topology design to offer greater than a 1:5 output voltage range to allow them to do this. The key challenge was not only to offer the extended output voltage range, but also to enable highly stable constant current outputs when both input and output voltages vary, which we have managed to achieve in a highly cost competitive package”.
