MR16 halogen lamps normally operate from a low-voltage AC source typically generated by a low-frequency AC transformer or by a high-frequency electronic transformer. In most MR16 applications, the ...
International Rectifier has introduced the IR2161, an intelligent control IC specifically designed for electronic transformers that drive low voltage halogen lamps. All necessary features are ...
Most dimmers use pulse width modulation (PWM) to control the amount of power that is delivered to the lamp. Those that come bundled with a switch faceplate control the firing angle of a Triac on the ...
Described as the first intelligent control IC designed for transformers that drive low-voltage halogen lamps, the IR2161 adaptive deadtime controller integrates all necessary functions into a single 8 ...
