Future Lighting Solutions (FLS)
Extends One-Stop LED Solution Support, with Time-Saving NIC
Reference Design Kits Pre-Bundled by Driver
Eliminates Sourcing Effort, Enables Faster Prototyping
MONTREAL, CANADA (June 17, 2009) – Future Lighting Solutions
today announced the availability of pre-bundled reference design ‘Quick
Kits’ from NIC Components that speed the process of
prototyping solid-state lighting applications. The kits contain
passive components matched to the driver being used and can be
ordered at www.niccomp.com/qk-fls
simply by selecting the appropriate driver IC from a dropdown
menu.
This strategy eliminates the need for design engineers to spend
time sourcing components individually, often from multiple
vendors. It also ensures that engineers receive the components
actually required in their design rather than the random sample
kits usually provided by manufacturers.
Each kit includes power inductors, capacitors and current
sensing r esistors
that meet the specifications outlined in reference designs from
the integrated circuit manufacturer. The Future Lighting Solutions
site now offers kits for a variety of Zetex drivers, National
Semiconductor, NEC, and ON Semiconductor with NXP options to
be added shortly. Kits can be shipped anywhere in the world within
72 hours of request.
Designers can also replace or delete recommended kit items, and/or
quickly find other products in NIC’s 700-part Quick Kit library
by inputting the desired parametric values into separate dropdown
menus.
“These NIC Quick Kits extend our mission of providing a single
source for all LED application development needs,” said François
Mirand, European Technical Manager for Future Lighting Solutions.
“This is another step in our efforts to make solid-state lighting
solutions simple for the engineering community.”
