Premier Magnetics adds Transformers Optimized for LYTSwitch™ LED Driver ICs

Premier Magnetics, Inc. announced its POL-LYT Series of switch-mode transformers designed to complement the LYTSwitchâ„¢ family of integrated off-line LED driver/controller ICs from Power Integrations, Inc.. The Premier Magnetics POL-LYT Series is currently available in 10 models – all accommodating a universal input range of 90 to 265 Vac. The series is available with a selection guide identifying each specific Power Integrations LYTSwitch IC part number along with a matching Premier Magnetics transformer. Reference designs combining the Power Integrations ICs and Premier Magnetics' transformers demonstrate high efficiency (90%, typical) and excellent power factor (0.9, typical).

“The POL-LYT Series is the latest of several generations and versions of switch-mode transformers designed specifically for Power Integrations power management ICs,” said Jim Earley, president of Premier Magnetics. “We’ve also designed our PNK family for their LinkSwitch™ ICs and PNY family for TinySwitch™ ICs. Our goal is to simplify switching power supply optimization by providing our customers with reference designs and recommended filters and power inductors to complete the task.”

Pricing for these new transformers starts at $0.58 each (POL-LYT029 in OEM quantities). Samples are in stock for immediate delivery and production volumes are available 8 weeks, ARO for OEM quantities.
