However, there is an opportunity for green thinking that reaches far beyond power consumption. In this webinar, TI will describe the “cradle to cradle” concept that includes the use of recycling and upcycling to generate a rebirth of new products and never ending product cycle. To embrace this notion, silicon vendors, base station manufacturers and service providers must take a holistic view of the industry to further strengthen its overall ecological impact.

This design is a two stage converter design with a universal input* boost PFC stage providing a 240V to 400V DC output and a low side buck stage providing the current source to power the LED’s. This design has been designed to support up to 30 high brightness LED’s in series up to 900mA average current, while in this demo we have used 3 strings with 30LEDs in series, driven with a current of 300mA each. So in sum achieving the same result as with a 30LED string powered with 900mA.LightingLEDhttps://e2e.ti.com/administrators1/energy/m/video/182688Wed, 09 Jun 2010 22:53:00 GMTcb01d8b2-d089-468d-babb-77d1d8683490:118ce05c-be48-45b7-8a22-1a824d996b03nancy!Hardware and software solutions for PLC and metering infrastructure.

DALI was originally defined for ballast control in IEC60929 and was recently with IEC62386 to include the increasingly popular field of LED lighting. In order to address this growing application space TI has provided a number of evaluation tools and modules like the TPS62260 LED EVM. The TPS62260 LED EVM is used in this demonstration in addition to a DALI daughter board to translate the between the MSP430 voltage levels and the DALI physical layer.
