Melville, NY – October 12, 2023
LSI Computer Systems, Inc., a leading innovator in semiconductor technology, proudly introduces the LS7641, a state-of-the-art reverse-phase light dimmer chip designed for wall switch applications. This cutting-edge chip sets a new standard in lighting control, offering efficient dimming for both LED and incandescent bulbs.
The LS7641 represents a breakthrough in light-dimming technology. With its advanced features and versatile applications, this chip empowers users to take control of their lighting environments with unparalleled precision.
Continuing the Innovation:
The LS7641’s innovative reverse-phase dimming technology distinguishes it from traditional triac dimmers, providing users with unparalleled control over their lighting environments. Unlike conventional methods that modulate the turn-on angle, the LS7641 manipulates the turn-off angle of an external MOSFET driving the lamp during AC half cycles. This groundbreaking approach ensures continuous analog dimming steps from 0 to 100% brightness, delivering flicker-free ultralow brightness levels for LED bulbs that were previously unattainable. By eliminating current spikes during turn-on and addressing common issues like triac failure and insufficient holding current, the LS7641 represents a significant leap forward in the evolution of light-dimming technology.
Versatility and User-Friendly Design:
Designed with versatility in mind, the LS7641 offers adjustable turn-on and turn-off angles for compatibility with various types of lamps. The external rotary or sliding potentiometer seamlessly controls dimming, allowing users to customize the brightness levels effortlessly. Additionally, the chip features a mode input for selecting the power-up state, ensuring a smooth transition from the off-state. The incorporation of overcurrent protection further underscores LSI Computer Systems, Inc.’s commitment to safety, making the LS7641 a reliable and user-friendly solution for wall switch LED and incandescent light dimmers. Whether enhancing the ambiance of residential spaces or optimizing lighting conditions in commercial settings, the LS7641 empowers users to redefine their illumination experiences with precision and efficiency.
