Energy efficiency

With a track-record of delivering efficient and feature-rich digital

power solutions, C2000 Piccolo microcontrollers are finely tuned to

drive higher efficiencies in LED lighting designs, meaning greater

savings on customers’ energy bills and differentiation of lighting

products in an energy-conscious world.

Intelligence

Looking for intelligence in your lighting product without the added cost

of external components? C2000 Piccolo microcontrollers have you

digital control enables advanced functionality such as temperature

monitoring, fault detection, light output tuning, proximity sensing and

more. With the availability of integrated timers, capabilities such as

dimming schedulers and advanced lighting control can easily be

added.

Connectivity

C2000 lighting solutions provide the connectivity and remote control

the market demands, without the cost of an external communications

module. Piccolo microcontrollers enable advanced communications

standards such as power line communications (PLC), DALI, DMX512,

KNX and RF.

Applications

The Piccolo lighting kits are ideal for a range of applications including

outdoor, architectural, entertainment, commercial, industrial, and

automotive.
