ams has introduced a power management IC for LED-based lamps and luminaires which uses closed-loop sensing to maintain more accurate correlated colour temperature (CCT) and lumen output.
Following the AS7221 smart lighting manager introduced earlier this year, this new device, the AS7220, combines a precise calibrated-for-life colour sensor with an intelligent Cognitive Lighting Engine for standalone closed-loop maintenance of the output from strings of warmer and cooler white LEDs.
“The result is a luminaire which automatically adjusts for the colour shift and lumen depreciation of LEDs as a natural result of aging, operating temperature changes and driver variation over lifetime,” said the supplier.
Sensor-driven algorithms are used o allow for a more loosely CCT- and flux-binned range of cool-white and warm-white LEDs to achieve a high and stable quality of light.
After the desired CCT and/or full-output lumen values are programmed into it on the production line, it autonomously implements closed-loop color and output control of the LEDs inside a luminaire or lamp.
Control of the power supplied to LED strings is implemented via either digital switching of multichannel power supplies, or through a combination of PWM current steering combined with an analog or digital output to standard single-channel 0-10V or PWM-input dimming ballasts or drivers.
