LED lighting IC simplifies dev of smart LED lighting

The FL77944, LED Direct AC Drive family of solid-state LED lighting solutions helps scale power and create smart and scalable LED-based lighting products. It can eliminate the need for electrolytic caps, transformers and inductance coils. The designs will be smaller, have higher performance and a longer system lifetime compared to products using the switch mode power supply (SMPS) approach.

The FL77944 driver IC features dimming capabilities required for smart lighting products, including phase-cut dimming as well as analog and PWM dimming, which is also key for wirelessly connected lighting. The device can scale to support higher power applications up to 120 W by wiring products in parallel. The IC is available today and the FEBFL77944 evaluation board can also be ordered.
