Electronic ballasts are continuing to gain acceptance as an energy saving alternative to magnetic ballasts, saving up to 30% in electricity. International Rectifier offers the broadest range of lighting ballast control ICs that facilitate the transition to cost-effective, highly reliable and efficient electronic ballasts. The newest members of the family include one-chip ballast solutions, ballast control ICs with integral PFC. IR also offers a fully engineered DALI solution based on its dimming ballast control IC. Fluorescent Lighting Solutions Fluorescent lighting is used everywhere in our day-to-day lives, from consumer lighting to architectural lighting. Power MOSFETs and High Voltage ICs form an integral part of electronic ballasts, and IR has a product offering to match your requirements. For example, Fluorescent Ballast ICs features:
- Dimming and non-dimming versions
- Handle all lamp types
- Easy design, minimize component count
International Rectifier ICs are designed to meet the ballast load requirements for most applications, from real life to abnormal conditions.
Halogen Lighting Solutions Halogen lamps are very popular for spot lights in shops, buildings, hotels, and houses, mainly because - unlike fluorescent - they give a nice spot of light. The wire wound magnetic halogen transformers are bulky, and they are now being replaced by electronic solutions. This is why IR has been developing the IR2161, the world's first halogen converter IC. HID Lighting Solutions Thanks to key advantages over other light sources (high lumen output, long life, color rendering and “point of light”), HID lamps are gaining in popularity in the industrial world. From few tens of watts for shop lights, to several hundreds of watts for street lighting, IR ICs offer a high degree of integration, minimizing the design time needed and increasing ballast reliability. LED Lighting Solutions HB-LEDs feature huge longevity, low maintenance requirement, small size, design flexibility, decorative effect capability, safe low DC voltage operation, excellent cold weather performance, lack of mercury, superior color gamut and brightness are making LEDs extremely popular. IR offers dedicated control ICs which can use at best all the LEDs features either in a DC-DC environment or directly off-line. Furthermore IR ICs offers a high degree of integration, minimizing the design time needed and increasing system reliability.
