LED Lighting - COBs, Engines, Modules

The OPA730WD is an LED driver with 13 channels, high power factor and no need for additional heatsinking. In the field of LED lighting, the OPA730WD could be used as either a COB, engine, or module.

COBs

COBs, or chip-on-boards, are an integrated circuit and LED package combined into a single package, making it easy and efficient to install. The OPA730WD is suitable for lighting and illuminating applications, such as architectural lighting, automotive lighting, or street lighting. COBs require constant current source, and one of the main benefits of using an OPA730WD driver is its ability to provide a constant current output, even in dimming or efficiency-related applications. Additionally, the OPA730WD also helps reduce components in the circuit since it can directly drive the LEDs without the need for additional resistors.

Engines

Engines is a type of LED driver that offers adjustable output levels in a variety of settings. The OPA730WD is well suited for engine applications, and is especially suited for applications that require a high power factor, such as LED Traffic Lights and LED Spotlights, or anything else which requires an adjustable output level. The OPA730WD is also able to provide a constant current output, which is essential for defining the maximum light intensity and ensuring long life for the LEDs.

Modules

Modules are typically high-power LED drivers that are used in applications that require very bright lighting, such as in outdoor lighting, commercial lighting and large area lighting. The OPA730WD is suitable for module applications, and its 13 channels and high power factor make it ideal for this purpose. The constant current output of the OPA730WD ensures that the LEDs will receive a constant current and last longer, while the OPA730WD’s pre-programmed settings allow for quick changes to the module’s output level depending on the scenario and the desired illumination.

Working Principle

The OPA730WD works by regulating the amount of power that is delivered to the LEDs and ensuring that the current remains constant, even when dimmed or for efficiency-related applications. Additionally, the OPA730WD also has pre-programmed settings that allow the user to quickly change the current and output the level depending on what the application requires. In terms of safety, the OPA730WD has built-in protections that ensure that the circuitry and LEDs are protected from damages due to over-voltage, over-current, excessive temperature and short-circuiting.

In conclusion, the OPA730WD is a versatile LED driver that can be used in a wide range of LED lighting applications. It can be used as a COB, engine, or module and its 13 channels, constant current output and pre-programmed settings make it ideal for lighting and illuminating applications. Additionally, the OPA730WD\'s safety features ensure that the circuitry and LEDs are protected from damages due to over-voltage, over-current, excessive temperature, and short-circuiting.
