Macroblock New PFM DC/DC Converter Brings High Efficiency for LED Lighting

By use of constant current mode hysteretic PFM control scheme, Macroblock new high-efficiency DC/DC converter-MBI6650 definitely enhances system stability and efficiency.
 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release)Jun 06, 2008 – As a new era of lighting industry is driven by the revolutionary LED technology, many IC experts aim to offer the best solution for various LED application. In particular, the problem of  LED illumination efficiency and life span has always been a core concern, accordingly, Macroblock's newly released 1.2A constant current buck DC-DC converter-MBI6650, makes a great impression in market. It integrates the hysteretic PFM control technique, which enhances power efficiency up to 93% and well extends the life time of LED. With built-in protection function, the MBI6650 shows an excellent system reliability and security. Recently it also successfully assists customers to LED street lamp design, which makes Macroblock more stand out in market. In order to provide well-though-out service to customers this year, Macroblock is ready to conduct seminars in September in China and present the MBI6650 converter at Electronica 2008 Munich, Germany from November 11th to 14th (Booth #A5.532).
Macroblock reveals its new discovery on LED technology-Hysteretic Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) control scheme, which brings high efficiency of power at wide range of loading condition. Comparing to traditional PWM method, the power efficiency reaches 60% at light loading, the Hysteretic PFM control scheme not only strengthens system stability, but upgrades the efficiency up to 85% at light loading and 90% at heavy loading. By combining the features of adaptive output switching frequency and audio frequency skip, both higher current and frequency can be reached as well as avoiding the noise interruption when the MBI6650 is activated. The internal high-side current limit of the control scheme also permits customers to choose a smaller size resistor with lower power consumption, which bring space-saving and more cost effectiveness.
With configured only 4 extra SMD components, the MBI6650 has even smaller PCB layout area and brings more cost effectiveness to customers. It also can operate under an input voltage range of 9Vto 30V for high power LED applications. Furthermore, MBI6650's unique thermal protection function with the temperature limit of 140˚C prevents the drivers from overheating. Besides, UVLO, open-circuit and short-circuit protection functions are well-equipped to ensure the safety of the lighting system. MBI6650 is an effective and economic choice for decorative lighting such as   MR16, high power LED lighting and constant current source.

Facing the huge competition in LED market, Macroblock keeps offering the best solutions with advanced technology in LED illumination. At last, Macroblock welcomes you to visit us at technical seminars in China this September, and at booth #A5.532 at Electronica 2008 in Munich, Germany in November.
