LED industry continues to evolve

TB62750 comes in a surface mounted, 24-pinVQON24 package while TB62730 comes in a cutting-edge surface mounted 16-pin WLCSP package which is sized less than 2mm x 2mm. Both products are currently in sampling and are available at $1.00 each in 10,000 unit quantities, with the mass production dates for both products depending upon demand in the led high bay light market.Our pending and issued patents, plus our commitment to developing high-quality products while defending our patents from infringement, positions ilumisys to be a long-term market leader," said ilumisys President Dave Simon. "As the LED industry continues to evolve, ilumisys will keep growing our intellectual property through extensive research and development."As a subsidiary company of Altair Engineering, the Michigan-based ilumisys has been dedicated to research and development of next-generation SSL technology and has boasted more than 30 patent applications. Its parent company Altair has recently filed an additional litigation against manufacturers and distributors infringing the new patent.

ilumisys, Inc. is a Troy, Mich.-based company focused on next-generation solid-state lighting technology. The company was formed in 2007 as a spinoff venture and wholly owned subsidiary of Altair Engineering, Inc. Products are derived from Altair's intellectual property as they relate to the direct replacement of fluorescent light tubes with LED lamps and direct replacement of incandescent lamps.Altair Engineering, Inc. empowers client innovation and decision-making through technology that optimizes the analysis, management and visualization of business and engineering information.

PowerPSoC features four integrated, independently operated 32V/1A mosfets based on Cypress' PSoC platform, with up to four programmable hysteretic controllers providing controlled current output. Floating load buck, floating load buck-boost, and boost converter topologies provide design flexibility. The device also supports 16bit dimming.PowerPSoC is suitable to drive high power constant current loads. "One of the biggest constraints with led high bay light is thermal management. Maintaining temperature at the optimal point maintains the LED’s lifetime and keeps its output as near to spec as possible." said Cypress' European business development manager Jennifer Dennis.
