The
SFDM (Mini) Series LED Driver board for LED-backlit displays provides a full
function power supply with
optimum power for high brightness as well as lower power consumption and lower
cost in an exceptionally compact size - 1.11 inch (28.2 mm) x 3.10 inch
(78.7 mm), and less than 5 mm high. It
provides brightness stability over a wide input voltage (8-20V), with external
PWM (pulse width modulation) dimming to 250:1, can power up to 6 LED strings, and is compatible with virtually
all OEM LED-backlit panels. Use of high-bright
LEDs in LCD backlights creates new challenges for the power supply driving the
LED BLU (backlighting unit). Getting optimum performance from LED BLUs requires
a full-function power supply that maintains a constant current, providing
sufficient voltage across the LED BLU to light the LED strings and provide
proper current regulation. The challenges facing power supplies (i.e., drivers)
for LED-backlit displays cannot be met by the many single-chip IC drivers
available on the market The SFDM is designed to
account for this voltage change and can light across the entire normal
operating range of temperatures, with no time or expense devoted to designing a
boost circuit. The SDFM Driver board can also be used with ERG's Smart ForceTM
LED rails. These are special rails that utilize a proprietary new design
to provide thermal management superior to any other technology on the market.
The thermal management technology utilized inside the rails addresses the major
challenge for LED BLUs: keeping the LEDs cool.
With LEDs dropping in price virtually every year, automakers have begun employing them, not only on luxury vehicles, but on entry-level models, as well.
The 3D printing revolution seems to have a knack for quickly moving technology ahead by way of collaborative effort and even a little friendly competition -- all of course in the name of scientific advancement.
Advantech has launched a new series of motion-control I/O modules to meet the increased demands that come with more distributed industrial systems that require control of a growing number of axes and devices.
Using almost 200 light-emitting diodes in the front and back of the new 2014 CTS, Cadillac designers are showing how LEDs can change the character of a vehicle.

A quick look into the merger of two powerhouse 3D printing OEMs and the new leader in rapid prototyping solutions, Stratasys. The industrial revolution is now led by 3D printing and engineers are given the opportunity to fully maximize their design capabilities, reduce their time-to-market and functionally test prototypes cheaper, faster and easier. Bruce Bradshaw, Director of Marketing in North America, will explore the large product offering and variety of materials that will help CAD designers articulate their product design with actual, physical prototypes. This broadcast will dive deep into technical information including application specific stories from real world customers and their experiences with 3D printing. 3D Printing is
