lighting application details


High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamp

High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps cast a large amount of light over a large area in an energy efficient manner. A key system function is the ballast which is required to start and sustain a controlled energy arc for the lamp. Central Semiconductor manufactures discrete components that maximize the efficiency, performance and reliability of today's energy conscious HID ballast systems.

LED Driver with Dimmer

The ability to effectively dim Solid State Lighting (SSL) is a technology challenge that has only recently been conquered. The TRIAC dimmer circuit with Power Factor Correction (PFC) is an example of modern technology making effective use of traditional dimming schemes. Central's comprehensive portfolio facilitates both energy efficiency improvements and component size reductions for today's most demanding dimmable lighting solutions.
