The new Lighting Applications Design Center website from Microchip provides designers with a wide range of technical tools and resources that can be used to add intelligence to lighting designs. This includes information relating to Microchip's PIC microcontrollers, dsPIC digital signal controllers (DSCs), analog and memory products, as well as development tools and application notes.

Rapidly evolving lighting technologies such as light emitting diodes (LEDs), dimmable fluorescent ballasts and high intensity discharge (HID) lamp ballasts, demand increased performance with ever greater energy efficiency. These demands are best met by adding intelligence to a lighting system, which can be accomplished thanks to the flexibility of Microchip's low-cost digital, analog and memory products. The benefits of applying these technologies include energy savings, prolonged product life, improved safety and light quality, reduced component counts, remote control and diagnostic capabilities, and the ability to easily adapt existing lighting designs.
