National Semiconductor’s New High-Brightness LED Driver Simplifies Area-lighting Design

Highly-integrated Driver Utilizes Unique Control Method to Equalize Current Between Multiple LED Strings National Semiconductor Corp. (NYSE:NSM) today introduced the LM3466, a highly integrated linear LED driver that simplifies the design of high power, wide area lighting fixtures such as streetlights.  The LM3466, with just a few passive components, provides a complete system that drives each LED string from any off-the-shelf AC/DC constant-current power supply. LED drivers today often require multiple components to accurately drive a str...
