Standard release for lighting LED-driver interface

The Module-Driver Interface Special Interest Group (MD-SIG) has released its specification for a universal electrical interface between LED lighting modules and their power supplies. The standard has the support of Osram, Panasonic, Philips and Tridonic. Called LEDset1 edition1.0, it is a three wire interface (see diagram): power, ‘Iset’ and a return for both. The specification

Solder-free pick-and-place package for LED lighting

Aiming at lighting manufacturers that don’t want to buy a soldering line, Sheffield-based Litecool has developed a self-adhesive self-connecting LED package that can be pick-and-placed direct onto heatsinks – and it accepts standard lenses from Carclo. No PCB, metal-cored or otherwise, is required. The key to self-adhesive packaging for power devices is to spread heat

Microchip aims at LED car lighting

Microchip has included a new power building block in a microcontroller aimed at LED lighting. Called the PIC16(L)F1769, the family has the first PICs to offer two independent closed-loop channels. The firm has steadily been introducing power control peripheral blocks over the last three years – so-called ‘core independent peripherals (CIPs), including for example its

Lumileds line and area sources for LED lighting

Lumileds has started to make multi-LED area and line light sources, based around 3535L surface mount LEDs on ridged and flexible PCBs. It is making the area products, described them as its ‘matrix platform’, at its plant in Penang, Malaysia. Luxeon XR (below) is the name of the rigid line, and the flexies are Luxeon
