LED drive is moving toward the semiconductor industry

In recent years, LED drive power has received more and more attention, and the improvement of the technology level is constantly optimizing the energy efficiency of the system. However, in the face of concepts such as "high integration" and "digitalization", enterprises are more concerned with real issues such as market and cost.

LED driver power chips have been described as the Cinderella in the semiconductor industry, indicating that LED driver power chips have long been considered an insignificant supporting role in the semiconductor industry. However, unlike the ups and downs of the digital circuit market, LED driver power chips maintain a long-term and stable growth momentum. With the rising price of crude oil, the application of energy-saving fields undoubtedly puts Cinderella wearing red shoes, and the application of LED driving power is moving toward the front of the semiconductor industry.

Technological innovation promotes improvement of energy efficiency

Energy saving is the main theme of today's electronics manufacturing, and various LED driver power chips are playing an increasingly important role in this field. Many countries use administrative means or even legislation to encourage manufacturers to use energy-saving technologies in their products.

When it comes to energy conservation, people often think of the large factories that roared machines. In fact, the energy consumption in the field of information technology applications is also very alarming on a global scale.

Wang Ruixing, vice president of Fairchild’s Technology and Application Support Center in Asia Pacific, also told reporters: “Enhancing energy efficiency is a major development trend in the semiconductor market. The continuous tightening of fuel supply, coupled with the mandatory introduction of relevant energy efficiency standards across the world, Both are driving the continued growth in demand for new low-power and energy-saving technologies. LED-driven power ICs will continue to adopt innovative energy-saving methods to meet these major energy-efficiency challenges, thereby improving energy efficiency and space efficiency.” He also pointed out that the single-phase phase AC/DC motors instead of variable-speed motors can save up to 40% in energy, while changing induction motors to permanent-magnet motors can increase efficiency by up to 5%. It can be seen that the contribution of LED driving power to energy conservation is based on the continuous breakthrough of technology.
