December 11, 2008[TechView: Analog & Power] Fluorescent Ballast ICs Demonstrate Clever Dimming Design
International Rectifier has two new control ICs for dimming compact and tube-type fluorescents. Most designers won’t ever see them, though, because they go into the bases of compact bulbs or into lighting fixtures. Still, they’re interesting to study as examples of energy-efficient design and for the elegant way they provide dimming, including dimming in legacy systems that use triac controls. The IRS2530D DIM8 squeezes a complete dimming...
