Diversifying our product portfolio

Dialog is successfully diversifying its product portfolio and customer base, focusing on key adjacencies. This includes:

primAccurate™

对话框的AC / DC转换器组合所有的广告vantage of the patented PrimAccurate™ control technology. This technology uses proprietary digital algorithms that perform real-time waveform analysis to monitor the output voltage and current through an auxiliary winding on the main transformer instead of using direct feedback from the output voltage (isolated or non-isolated). Cycle-by-cycle analysis through Dialog's digital technology allows for tight load and line regulation to input and output changes and full protection without costly additional components such as power sense resistors. By operating with a digital control block, the PrimAccurate™ devices can also operate in multiple modes of operation without the need for complex analog circuitry. Some of the AC/DC converters made by Dialog use combinations of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM), flattening out the efficiency curve, offering high efficiency across a broader load range than equivalent analog circuits. In circuits where this technology is not needed, such as solid state lighting, the the converters use quasi-resonant control to optimize efficiency for heavy loads. The fully digital control also allows for compensation to be done in the time domain instead of the frequency domain, removing the need for external compensation components, easing design and reducing time-to-market for developers.

Flickerless™

对话框的AC / DC转换器专为固态照明(SSL)市场而设计,克服了设计改装灯具的主要问题之一,无潜在有害的闪烁。通过在每个SSL驱动程序中实现Flickerless™技术,对话框提供了与业界最广泛的调光范围兼容的LED驱动因素,同时消除了潜在有害的闪烁。

Dialog's patented Flickerless™ technology utilizes a two-stage conversion approach, first detecting the type of dimmer, if any, is present. Once determined which dimmer type is used, then the input voltage is passed through a chopping circuit, which provides the correct impedance to match the dimming circuit and therefore helps to improve the Power Factor of the overall circuit. Besides this, the chopping circuit also provides a voltage without the line frequency component, allowing the AC/DC controller to provide the PWM dimming of the LED driver current based on the dimming percentage demanded by the input dimming circuit. The Dialog family of SSL drivers operate with dimming frequencies between 630Hz to 900Hz, with a dimming range of 1% to 100%. This completely removes the possibility of visible and non-visible flicker on the LED output.

宽容™

对话的LED背光产品是用于驱动LCD面板中的大型LE雷电竞官网登录D阵列的电源管理设备,以进行HDTV或公共信息显示。雷竞技安卓下载通过大型LED背光显示器,关键的关键领域是如何在整个面板上提供平等的亮度并保持高效率。LED电压变化可能宽泛,需要在需要排列时变得昂贵。并且,具有新的能源之星®功耗标准越来越严格,不再可能燃烧额外的瓦特来改善亮度匹配。

Dialog's patented BroadLED™, Adaptive Switch Mode technology, reduces wasted power by 60%, while maintaining better than 2% channel-to-channel matching, enabling higher integration of drivers and the possibility to implement local dimming for large LCD displays in HDTVs. This permits the use of loosely binned, low-cost LED arrays. Adaptive Switch Mode works by establishing a constant current through each LED string and then the digital control algorithm calibrates the low dropout driver to account for the voltage applied to the highest voltage LED string, which may be beyond what that individual string requires. The current through the string is increased in order to utilize the applied voltage to its maximum and then the LDO driver is PWM modulated until the average current matches the original programmed current. This way, the extra voltage applied in not wasted in the driver, but actually conserved by PWM'ing each LED channel. This savings, on a channel by channel basis, adds up to an extremely large energy savings, thanks to Dialog's patented technology.
