The new NCL30001 is said to eliminate the need for a PFC boost stage and reduces component count, which the firm believes is ideal for designs with energy requirements of between 40 w and 150 w.
According to the Arizona-based semiconductor company, this product is a low cost solution that "supports higher overall system efficiency in LED power supplies for applications such as LED-based street, low bay, wall packs and architectural lighting".
Christopher Warin, AC-DC business unit manager at the firm, suggested that with the growth of diode-based luminaires, there is a growing need for management devices and he indicated that the NCL30001 satisfies those demands.
Earlier this week, Kyodo News Agency reported that ON is finalising a deal to buy the semiconductor arm of electronics brand Sanyo as the Japanese organisation shifts its focus to solar energy products.
