PAM's new LED display driver wins award
A new LED display driver by Power Analog Microelectonics (PAM) has won an award at the second National Solid State Lighting Innovation Contest in China.
The PAM2842 is a high-voltage 30 watt LED display driver with integrated MOSFET, has an input voltage range from 5.5V to 40V and can support boost, buck, buck-boost and SEPIC topology.
An efficiency of 95 per cent is maintained over the voltage range, according to PAM, which allows the LED display driver to operate normally despite input voltage degradation or high temperature environments.
"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," said PAM president and chief executive Johnston Chen.
"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."
The PAM2842 can drive up to 30W in configurations of ten by 3W or 30 by 1W LEDs.
