V-Infinity Releases DC-DC Converters For Driving High Power LEDs

April 19, 2009 by Jeff Shepard

V-Infinity, a division of CUI Inc., announced a new line of step-down constant current dc-dc converters that have been designed for driving high power LEDs.

The VLD24 series has efficiency levels of up to 95% and a wide input range of 5.5 to 36Vdc. The series has two means of LED dimming: PWM digital dimming and analog dimming control via a trim POT. The VLD24 is well suited for a wide range of LED applications where precise accuracy and brightness control is needed, including signage, transport, consumer electronics, and signaling.

Available output currents include 300, 350, 500, 600, and 700mA with an output voltage range of 2 to 32 Vdc. The VLD24 series has an ambient operating temperature range of -40 to +85°C at full load in the 300 and 350mA versions and -40 to +71°C in the 500, 600, and 700mA versions. Short-circuit protection and on/off control are standard features. This series is compact, measuring 0.897 x 0.401 x 0.374 inches in a pcb mount package.

The VLD24 series is available immediately with prices starting at $10.50 per unit.
