Andrew Smith
, product marketing manager for Power
Integrations: “RDR-355
describes a GU10 LED driver using the LYTSwitch-0
IC and just 13 components. The device’s small size and high efficiency
eliminate the need for heatsinking or potting of the LED driver,
reducing manufacturing cost.”
Key applications include low-cost LED light bulbs such as GU10 and
candelabra styles. RDR-355
describes a 6 W non-dimmable LED driver - see http://www.powerint.com/sites/default/files/PDFFiles/rdr355.pdf.
LYTSwitch-0
IC samples in SO-8 and DIP packages are available now, priced at
$0.29 each in 10,000-piece quantities. Datasheet and introduction video
are available on the Power
Integrations website at http://www.powerint.com/en/products/lytswitch-family/lytswitch-0.
