EE Times - March 9, 2009 - (Page 34) Best-in-Class Dimming Performance. High Efﬁciency. High Performance, TRIAC Dimmable LED Driver National’s industry-leading TRIAC dimmable ofﬂine LED driver solution is perfect for any application where an LED driver must interface to a standard TRIAC wall dimmer. National’s new TRIAC dimmable LED driver delivers a wide, uniform dimming range free of ﬂicker, best-in-class dimming performance, and high efﬁciency—all while maintaining ENERGY STAR® power factor requirements in a typical application. TRIAC Wall Dimmer VAC LM3445 TRIAC Dimmable LED Driver © 2009, National Semiconductor Corporation. National Semiconductor, , WEBENCH, and PowerWise are registered trademarks. All rights reserved. Full Range Dimming Capability National’s TRIAC dimmable LED driver offers 100:1 full range dimming capability, going from full light to nearly imperceptible light in a continuous range without being extinguished, and maintains a constant current to large strings of LEDs driven in series off of a standard line voltage. Easy To Use National’s TRIAC dimmable LED driver enables a direct replacement of incandescent or halogen lamp systems that are currently interfaced to a TRIAC dimmer without having to change the original infrastructure or sacriﬁce performance. In addition, the new TRIAC dimmable LED driver is available in WEBENCH® LED Designer to allow for easy and quick design in. Uniform Dimming Without Flicker National’s TRIAC dimmable LED driver allows master-slave operation control in multi-chip solutions which enables a single TRIAC dimmer to control multiple strings of LEDs with smooth consistent dimming, free of ﬂicker. national.com/LED Table of Contents for the Digital Edition of EE Times - March 9, 2009EE Times - March 9, 2009ContentsCommentary: Twitter or Fritter?Analysis: Why a Chapter 11 filing should be part of NXP’s restructuring planIDC: Stim package won’t do much to prop up ITAMD’s foundry spin-off vows to take on TSMCChina’s chip planners look to build ‘headquarters economy’ around R&D hotbedOffshoring backlash rises as layoffs mount Engineering groups are asking why companies are still outsourcing U.S. jobs—and where Obama stands on the practiceAmericans see decline in U.S. engineering prowessFlex touchscreen paired with active-matrix displayGlobal Feature: Directconversion RF covers multiple modes, standardsUnder the Hood: Sperry vertical gyro for Boeing 747Planet Analog: Singleinductor circuit generates bipolar supply voltagesLast Word: A better way to distinguish Wi-Fi’s flavorsEE Times - March 9, 2009EE Times - March 9, 2009 - (Page BB1)EE Times - March 9, 2009 - (Page BB2)EE Times - March 9, 2009 - EE Times - March 9, 2009 (Page Cover1)EE Times - March 9, 2009 - EE Times - March 9, 2009 (Page Cover2)EE Times - March 9, 2009 - Contents (Page 3)EE Times - March 9, 2009 - Commentary: Twitter or Fritter?
