SSL Calculation Tool for SSL210x-SSL152x

To keep today's development cycles as short as possible, NXP Semiconductors helps designers simplify their designs with intuitive online tools. The latest SSL design tool focuses on creating LED drivers from 2 W up to 25 W. Applications include:

• SSL retro-fit lamps (for example GU10, E27)
• LED modules, separate power supplies (for example LED spots, down-lights)
• LED strings (for example retail display)
• LED ballasts
• Contour lighting
• Channel letter lighting
• Other lighting applications

Output power is user-defined and can be fixed, dimmed using pulse width modulation (PWM) or requires mains dimmable solutions. Two application types are available an isolated (flyback) converter and a non-isolated (buck) converter.

The tool generates schematic, bill of material and transformer parameters, calculates the design's efficiency, and presents an overview of losses. Additionally, for a better understanding of the application, it can be simulated either online or even locally after downloading the schematics and simulator.
