Several different technologies and designs are available among solid-state switches today. The major families are the standard Triacs (triode for alternating current), the snubberless Triacs, and the ...
One of the biggest challenges for new, energy-efficient CFL and LED-based lights that will replace incandescents is working with existing triac-based dimmer switches. Triac dimmers vary widely in both ...
Fairchild Semiconductor introduced the FL7730 single-stage primary side regulation (PSR) controller with power factor correction (PFC) for triac and analog dimming compatibility. The FL7730 circuit is ...
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Power Integrations (Nasdaq:POWI), the leader in high-efficiency, high-reliability LED driver ICs, today announced its LYTSwitchâ„¢-7 single-stage, non-isolated, ...
The ubiquitous triac dimmer can still work with LED lamps, thanks to new ICs. Energy-efficient lighting is in the headlines as we approach the date at which federally mandated efficiency levels for ...
