Cirrus Logic Officially Enter the LED Lighting Market

Cirrus Logic, Inc. announced the launch of the the CS161X Series LED controller, which officially entered the emerging high-growth LED lighting market. The CS161X Series controller Tru Dim, Cirrus Logic's new digital technology, and has been tested and proved, can achieve nearly 100% compatible with a number of global dimming. And the ability to directly solve the dimming compatibility issue, which is the main obstacle to consumer adoption of LED bulbs. Cirrus Logic is a leading lighting company mass production the CS161X controller. Cirrus Logic multiple customer delivery is expected in 2012 will be 500 million to 10 million LED controller.

 

LED lights are widely used because of its efficient light energy, long life, environmental protection. There are LED spotlight, head lamps and USB lamps. LED bulbs today is mainly based on the analog drive, not a product can be installed in residential, retail shops and businesses dimming device for consumers to provide a wide range of dimming compatible. The bulbs flicker, flash, or can not switch dimming incompatibility problems are the main reasons to cause the product to the high return rate. Cirrus Logic Inc. President and CEO Jason Rhode said: "A few years ago, we, as the growth in the LED market meaningful engineering challenges of an area to be able to take advantage of our signal processing expertise to solve for today's consumers to buy LED bulbs is a frustrating experience, because once you buy a home found that most of the LED bulbs can be used not proved, is extremely complex to solve challenges dimming compatible and we are very pleased to see that , the world's largest manufacturers of LED lights show the superior performance of our first light controller, it can be in the world and we can find and test every dimmer to achieve near perfect compatibility. "

 

Datapoint Research, research firm estimated that the LED lamps lighting applications market growth from 2011, about 200 million to 1 billion in 2015. Datapoint Research senior analyst Jon Gamble said: "to achieve LED bulbs with the current global all existing dimming system compatible LED light bulb manufacturers face one of the biggest challenges in the next few years, solve dimming compatible while maintaining cost-effective accelerate the LED bulb is widely used in consumer key. "

 

To achieve industry-leading dimming compatible CS161X series TRIAC interface algorithm, LED driver topologies and system architecture, excellent results after a three-year investment, while of these is TruDim technology. CS161X digital intelligent dimmer type allows the controller identification use and adjust the compatibility algorithm to provide smooth dimming incandescent bulbs are expected to use the same way, by consumers for decades. The intelligent adaptive digital signal processing technology is today's analog controller can not be achieved.
