International Rectifier's Lighting HVIC Wins Best Power Control Product Award from Leading Publication in China.EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- International Rectifier, IR[R] (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :IRF IRF Interferon Regulatory Factor IRF International Religious Freedom IRF Institut for Rationel Farmakoterapi (German) IRF Inherited Rights Filter (Novell) IRF Inherited Rights Filter ), a world leader in power management technology, today announced the company's IRS An abbreviation for the Internal Revenue Service, a federal agency charged with the responsibility of administering and enforcing internal revenue laws. 2166D high-voltage lighting IC has been selected by a leading industry publication, Electronic Design & Application World-Nikkei Electronics China (EDAW-NEC), as the best power control product. The IRS2166 is a 600V fully-integrated and protected control IC for advanced fluorescent lamp ballasts which incorporate power factor correction Power factor correction (PFC) is a technique of counteracting the undesirable effects of electric loads that create a power factor that is less than 1. Power factor correction may be applied either by an electrical power transmission utility to improve the stability and efficiency (PFC). Integrating PFC, ballast control and half-bridge driver in a single monolithic device, the IC operates in critical conduction mode for a high power factor (PF) of 0.99, and features low total harmonic distortion The total harmonic distortion, or THD, of a signal is a measurement of the harmonic distortion present and is defined as the ratio of the sum of the powers of all harmonic components to the power of the fundamental. (THD) of less than 10 percent and precise DC bus regulation within a tolerance of 2.5 percent. "We thank EDAW EDAW Eight Days A Week (Beatles song) EDAW Eckbo, Dean, Austin & Williams (New York, NY) for recognizing IR's continuing product efforts to save energy. This lighting IC helps ballast designers meet energy efficiency mandates," said Alex Lidow, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of International Rectifier. Winners were recognized at an awards ceremony on May 23 in Beijing, coinciding with the Power Module and Technology Conference.
