 Endicott, NY, October 2005 – Endicott Research Group, the leading U.S. manufacturer of
DC-AC inverters used to power the CCF lamps that backlight LCDs, has introduced the
D Series Inverter – a “generic” off-the-shelf unit for engineers who have an immediate need for an inverter for evaluation purposes.
“D Series inverters have been designed to fill a need for customers who require an inverter right away for evaluation,” said Bill Abbott, ERG’s Director of Sales and Marketing. “If a customer calls for a specific inverter from ERG’s LCD Module to ERG Inverter Part Number Cross- Reference Guide and it’s temporarily out of stock, we can substitute the D Series equivalent inverter for evaluation. It will be the same size as the cross-referenced part, and it will fill 90% of the requirements out there.”
Since D Series inverters are shipped from stock, customers can have them in a day or two, and
if a few more units are needed for pre-production, demos, layout, etc., the customer can still use the D Series inverter. “When production starts to roll, we switch the customer over to a standard inverter part number under the normal lead times,” said Abbott. ERG’s standard lead times are 4 weeks, the shortest in the industry.
“ERG is well known as a provider of custom inverter solutions, but we have designed the
D Series to provide a ‘generic’ type of inverter that can be shipped off-the-shelf to adequately meet the pre-production needs of most customers, whichever LCD panel they may be using,”
Abbott commented.
D Series inverters such as the 2-lamp Model DLDS60J (based on ERG’s LDS Series inverter) feature a low profile
(< 9 mm), with display-compatible connectors, and are designed to generate 6 mA RMS into a 350-550 volt load from a nominal 12 volt DC source. They are compact and lightweight, with operating temperatures of 0º - 70ºC, and include on-board PWM dimming.
D Series evaluation units are in stock. Delivery is UPS Ground (or overnight if requested). Pricing in production quantities for the DLDS60J is $12.70. For details on other D Series evaluation units, contact ERG.
