SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Power
Analog Microelectronics (PAM), a developer of innovative Class-D
digital audio amplifiers and high- power LED display driver
semiconductors, today announced its first high- voltage 30 watt LED
Driver with integrated MOSFET based on the Bipolar-CMOS- DMOS (BCD)
Technology developed at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing
Corporation (TSMC).
The PAM2842 product announcement is made in conjunction with
the 5th China International Forum on Solid State Lighting which is
being held today in Shenzhen,
China.
The PAM2842, with its unique performance and versatility, has just
this month won an award in the 2nd National Solid State Lighting
Innovation Contest, in China. With a wide
input voltage range from 5.5V to 40V, the PAM2842 is a versatile
LED Driver that supports Boost, Buck, Buck- Boost, and SEPIC
topology. It is capable of driving up to 30 Watts in configurations
of 10 x 3W or 30 x 1W LEDs using its own integrated MOSFET. With
constant current over wide voltage range and maintaining a 95%
efficiency, the PAM2842 guarantees normal operation in spite of
input voltage degradation or high temperature environments.
Manufactured at TSMC in its advanced 40V BCD technology and with
PAM's patent pending proprietary architecture, the PAM2842 also
integrates a Power MOSFET. Other features include over current
protection, over voltage protection, under voltage lock out, and
over temperature protection, which prevents the device (and the
LEDs it drives) from sustaining damage. The PAM2842 is housed in a
40-pin QFN (6mm x 6mm) package or TSSOP-20 package. It is ideal for
home lighting, automotive lighting, monitor backlighting, and
solar-cell lighting applications.
"We are extremely excited about the recognition the
PAM2842 has received by the LED Lighting industry, as it has
already been used in many LED lighting applications. This
innovative high-power LED Driver, with the widest input voltage
range, from 5V battery applications to 40V automotive applications,
satisfies many stringent lighting requirements", said Johnston
Chen, President and chief executive officer of PAM. "In
addition, when used as a buck type constant current DC-DC driver to
control LEDs for Solar-cell powered lighting, the PAM2842, at 30
watts, delivers the highest power for this expanding energy saving
market," continued Chen.
PAM2842 is available in full production.
