XDPL8220 achieves low standby power

Advanced LED technology enhances lighting applications in various ways.

The digitally configurable LED driver IC XDPL8220, released by Infineon Technologies (Korea CEO Seung-soo Lee), increases benefits for end users and manufacturers by enabling the implementation of essential functions for smart lighting. The use of the XDPL8220's primary side control eliminates the need for additional components, thereby lowering costs and increasing reliability.

The XDPL8220 features an advanced 2-stage architecture, making it much easier to implement the flicker standard that is scheduled to be introduced soon. This is possible because it eliminates low-frequency fluctuations from the main power supply and ensures a stable output.

In addition, to achieve high energy efficiency, the low standby power allows the ECG (electronic control gear) to operate continuously. The standby power of the XDPL8220 is less than 70mW, reducing power consumption when not in operation while also responding quickly to external events or user requests.

The digital core of the XDPL8220 enables the development of various systems using the same device. Advanced control algorithms allow for the development of lighting using constant current or constant voltage modes with the same circuitry. Power limiting modes maintain lighting while maximizing component performance utilization. In addition, Infineon's LED drivers provide an extensive set of parameters that can be adjusted according to operating limitations, making them easy to adapt to target applications.
