STLUX385A controller IC for lighting and power management

The world's first universal digital controller for lighting and power-conversion applications, STMicroelectronics's STLUX385A opens the way to cost-effective, energy-efficient lighting systems in the home, in the office, and on the street. The STLUX385A is the first device able to address all of these applications with a single programmable chip, simultaneously giving consumers more control and saving them money, while making end devices smaller. The STLUX385A distils 25 years of ST leadership in power-conversion solutions into a single high-value platform that customers can use to build more innovative and efficient lighting solutions.

For example, the STLUX385A enables intelligent LED street lamps that increase their brightness gradually as daylight fades and, conversely, automatically reduce their brightness as the sun rises, instead of having only a full brightness or off-setting at predetermined times. Moreover, the STLUX385A allows sophisticated lighting systems that currently require the use of expensive external Digital Signal Processors to be produced with shorter time-to-market and lower costs.
