Applied Concepts to demo Smart-Drive advanced LED drivers

TULLY, USA: Applied Concepts Inc. (ACI), a manufacturer of display and power conversion solutions primarily used for flat-panel display back lighting applications, announced that it will unveil and demonstrate the newest product, Smart-Drive Advanced LED Drivers during Display Week 2011.

ACI, a sustaining member of the Society of Information Display (SID), will be showcasing Smart-Drive in booth #1331 at the 49th SID International Symposium, Seminar and Exhibition, which takes place May 15 – 20, 2011 at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, California.

ACI's Smart-Drive LED driver offers advanced features which allow the user to customize software via download from the ACI website, or a mini CD. Users can tailor driver operating parameters such as dimming curve (i.e. linear or logarithmic), button vs. analog dimming control, and ambient light sensing.

Smart-Drive LED drivers provide real-time telemetry as well as black-box data capture/retention of performance characteristics (for example, voltage and current, temperature, etc.) for diagnostic and failure mode analysis. Lastly, Smart-Drive incorporates ACI's patented Mixed-Mode dimming (amplitude/PWM) functionality and provides stable, ultra-wide dimming while generating little to no EMI.

ACI will demonstrate Smart-Drive LED drivers along with a partner board containing a dimming potentiometer, button control, and ambient light sensing options, which is intended to simplify the LCD display system testing and development process.
