Sensor-integrated lighting manager brings control to new level

The AS721x autonomous daylighting manager is the industry’s first integrated chip-scale IoT-connected smart lighting manager. This new class of sensor-integrated smart lighting manager delivers integrated control capabilities to luminaire, light engine and replacement lamp manufacturers. The chip provides system-level control capabilities by sensing the ambient daylight and enabling the delivery of constant lux levels in the space by managing subtle adjustments as the amount of outside light varies.

Photopic sensors built with nano-optic filters are integrated into the IC to help lighting manufacturers address the growing challenges of energy-saving lighting mandates, including daylighting controls. Integrating a sensor-based manager into each luminaire optimizes the overall responsiveness and efficiency of the lighting system, maximizing energy savings. The approach also delivers accurate lumen maintenance over time and temperature variations, and allows fully connected luminaire systems to respond to building- or space-level command and control strategies. It’s available in 20-pin 2.1 x 2.3-mm chip-scale and 4.5 x 4.7-mm LGA package options.Pricing is $3 each/5,000.
