Online Lighting Applications Design Centre launched by Microchip

New lighting technologies, such as Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), dimmable fluorescent ballasts and High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamp ballasts, demand increased performance with greater energy efficiency. The flexibility of Microchip’s low-cost digital, analog and memory products enables designers to easily add intelligence to lighting applications. Benefits include energy savings, prolonged product life, improved safety and light quality, reduced component counts, remote control and diagnostic capabilities, and the ability to easily adapt existing lighting designs.
