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.

SmartPulse™ wireless sensor network devices

Dialog’s SmartPulse™ series of wireless sensors, actuators and base station devices enables the easy creation of wireless sensor networks for the home automation, security, healthcare and energy monitoring consumer markets. SmartPulse wireless sensors and actuators are on the SC14SPNODE module for data and voice, which uses the DECT ULE wireless transmission standard and integrates baseband, radio transceiver, power amplifier and antenna in a single package. Applications are defined in software and a range of software stacks can be downloaded from Dialog’s customer portal.

该SmartPulse family also includes a DECT ULE enabled base station device, SC14CVMDECT, with embedded base station software, as a system-in-package.By using the DECT ULE standard the devices enable the development of a wide range of new wireless consumer products that run for up to 10 years on a single AAA battery pack. Furthermore, systems running SmartPulse sensors self-configure with a home’s DECT ULE / DECT enabled hub or internet gateway, allowing connected systems to be managed over the web using a smartphone, laptop or tablet PC.

Smartwave™

DA8901 Smartwave™ Multi-Touch Integrated Circuit; MTICTM drives a number of infrared Light Emitting Diode (LEDs) in a controlled sequence, injecting light into the cover lens of the display. Using FlatFrog’s patented PSD Touch technology, as users touch the surface, scattered light is detected by multiple infrared receivers connected to DA8901’s detector front end. The resulting signals are amplified and dynamically filtered to remove ambient light before being converted into the digital domain using a high linearity ADC. The data is then subjected to FlatFrog’s PSD Touch algorithms using MTIC’s 3 custom ALUs and ARM micro controller before being communicated via SDIO to a standard external touch
controller IC which provides the touch coordinates to the main PC processor.

Each MTIC can drive 12 LEDs or be configured to control 100s of LEDs in external drive mode. Signals from 12 receivers can be processed in a single chip. Up to 16 MTICs can be used in a single system using a master / slave arrangement enabling a wide range of screen sizes up to 36 inches.

Flickerless™

Dialog's AC/DC converters designed specifically for the Solid State Lighting (SSL) market overcome one of the major issues in designing retrofit luminaires, dimming without potentially harmful flicker. By implementing Flickerless™ technology in each SSL driver, Dialog offers LED drivers that are compatible with the industry's broadest range of dimmers, while eliminating potentially harmful flicker.

Dialog的专利Flickerless™技术利用了两级转换方法,首先检测调光器类型,如果有的话。一旦确定使用调光器类型,则输入电压通过斩波电路,这提供了匹配调光电路的正确阻抗,因此有助于提高整个电路的功率因数。除此之外,斩波电路还提供没有线频率分量的电压,允许AC / DC控制器根据输入调光电路所需的调光百分比提供LED驱动器电流的PWM调光。SSL驱动程序的对话框系列在630Hz至900Hz之间的调光频率,调光范围为1%至100%。这完全消除了LED输出上可见和不可见闪烁的可能性。

BroadLED™

对话框的LED背光产品等内容雷电竞官网登录ement devices for driving large arrays of LEDs in LCD panels for applications such as HDTVs or Public Information Displays. With large LED-backlit displays, the key area of concern is how to cost-effectively provide equal brightness across the full panel and maintain high efficiency. LED voltage variation can be broad and become expensive when binning is required. And, with new Energy Star® power consumption standards becoming more and more stringent, burning extra watts to improve brightness matching is no longer possible.

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.
