Dimmer Friendly LED Controller Chips

LEDs are widely desired for its digital controllability, besides being energy and cost efficient. However, LED bulbs are not compatible with domestic dimmer switches. Therefore, several lighting designers and engineers made attempts to integrate the existing LED light bulbs with analog dimmer systems. Capable of surpassing CFLs (Compact Fluorescent Lights) and incandescent, these high efficiency LEDs need to be modified to comply with the dimmers, resulting in new and superior technology. In response to this need, Cirrus Logic, an integrated circuit developer, has launched a new CS161X digital LED controller chips that support dimmer-friendly LEDs.
