Marvell Showcases Breakthrough LED Lighting Solutions for Residential and Commercial Deployments

Based on its advanced LED driver integrated circuits (ICs), microcontrollers and integrated control software technology, Marvell's total system solutions allow lighting original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and original design manufacturers (ODMs) to quickly build high-performance and affordable LED lighting products. These reference designs are available for OEMs to customize and implement into their own product designs and are also available as finished products from multiple ODMs worldwide.

"Marvell's smart lighting solutions are designed to accelerate the deployment of superior quality LED lighting and smart lighting controls in mainstream residential and commercial lighting applications," said Kishore Manghnani, vice president of Green Technology Products Group at Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. "The availability of these reference designs from Marvell and finished solutions from third party companies will further accelerate the adoption of these advanced LED technologies by the mass market worldwide."

In-suite demonstrations of Marvell's latest LED driver electronics and lighting control solutions will highlight solutions optimized to address the residential and commercial lighting markets. Specifically, Marvell will showcase:

Several reference designs for retrofit LED lamps based on the new Marvell 88EM8183 deep dimming single stage AC/DC TRIAC LED driver integrated circuit (IC), which achieve superior dimming performance and compatibility using the lowest component count in the industry.

External LED driver reference designs, including DALI and Zigbee wireless solutions, developed for commercial lighting applications.

Residential Lighting: Marvell's advanced driver ICs and reference designs offer the industry's best dimming capability for a wide variety of retrofit LED lamps, such as A19, PAR, BR, GU10 and Candle.

Marvell's new 88EM8183 driver IC offers OEMs and ODMs a superior compatible dimming solution as compared to a majority of dimmers currently on the market, and also excellent light quality, intended to decrease consumer dissatisfaction and returns. The reference designs include isolated and non-isolated versions, all with the lowest component count and smallest form factor available in the industry.

"After comparing various LED driver ICs on the market, we chose Marvell's 88EM8183 LED driver IC for our new generation dimmable retrofit lamps because it offers the best dimming performance and compatibility at the lowest component count," said George Xu, general manager of Leedarson Lighting. "Combined with Leedarson's large scale manufacturing capability and operational excellence, the Marvell 88EM8183 solution allows us to offer cost effective, reliable and best dimming retrofit LED lamp products to lighting OEMs worldwide."
