Home Lighting: Cypress’ PLC solution enables control of incandescent, sodium vapor, fluorescent and LED lighting fixtures over the existing Powerlines. Easily integrates with wall-switch dimmers, lamp and appliance modules, enabling on/off, dimming, color mixing, and tunable white light control using a single chip solution, and no additional wiring.
Pool Lighting: Cypress' PLC Solution can be used for controlling underwater pool lighting fixtures, over ground spa, surrounding landscape lights via a single control station using the existing Powerline and no additional wiring. Since the Powerline Network Protocol supports multicast and broadcast modes, elaborate programmable color changing scenes can be created. Combined with Cypress’ EZ-Color or PowerPSoC solution this can be used for intelligent dimming control and color mixing of High Brightness LED based lighting fixtures.
Parking Lot Lighting: On-Off Control for selected areas in large parking lots is not possible without installation of multiple control and wiring elements and user interaction at multiple points. Cypress’ PLC Solution provides a Powerline optimized Network Protocol which enables individual lighting fixtures or groups of lighting fixtures to be controlled using the existing Powerline infrastructure. Thus, saving on cost for additional wiring and control fixtures. Combined with Cypress’ EZ-Color solution this can be used for intelligent dimming and timed turn-off of High Brightness LED fixtures.
Industrial Signage: An entire array of new convenience and advanced control features are being made available in automobiles today. It has been projected that a high feature content car will not have enough space to contain multiple wiring segments and connectors without compromising power loss and safety. One of the solutions to this problem is to reduce the number of cables by using existing Powerline as the transmission medium of digital control signals. The CY8CPLCXX enables control of Automotive LED strobe, beacon, tail lights and indicators over the existing Direct Current (DC) 12V-42V Battery Powerline. Combined with Cypress’ EZ-Color lighting solution, dimming and color mixing of LED based automotive lighting fixtures in applications such as Mobile LED Displays is possible.
