AAI has developed a thorough understanding of the unique requirements for driving and controlling LEDs. LEDs are rapidly emerging as the leading choice for lighting purposes in an environment of ever rising environmental concerns over energy and efficiency. The unique requirements for proper implementation of LED lighting solutions is considered to be a focus market in AAIs new portfolio of standard products. As with our Power Management products, some of AAIs original LED Lighting products will continue to be offered under the original IN-PLUG® Part Number Convention, while newer parts will follow the AAI Part Numbering Convention. The IN-PLUG® brand will continue to be associated with the Power Management and LED lighting series of products. These products are supported for customization.

New to AAI’s 2009–2010 LED Lighting Products are a Critical-Conduction Mode PFC Controller, the AAL412, providing advantages of reduced EMI, smaller magnetics and improved control loop implementation. Additionally, the AAL415 Low Voltage Boost Controller provides a boost controller option, featuring a power synchronous rectifi er drive circuit implementation for optimal efficiency in low voltage applications.
