Security Surveillance Camera LED Drive Solution
The demand for video surveillance and security monitoring is booming, and the technology is also becoming more economical for personal and business applications. Driven by higher standards of security requirements, millions of surveillance cameras have been installed worldwide.
Since many surveillance cameras are always on, surveillance camera manufacturers have turned to energy-efficient light emitting diode (LED) lighting. Compared to the previously used incandescent/fluorescent lamps, the efficiency of the LED is increased by 80-90% and the heat dissipation is low. At the same time, LEDs also have a longer service life, occupying less space in the application of video surveillance cameras.
As the number of production increases, camera makers require LED drivers to be simpler, more compact, and lower cost. At the same time, they need LED drivers to meet the requirements of higher efficiency, lower power consumption, higher accuracy, and better image resolution. In the face of these challenges, hardware engineers need an LED driver solution that meets all of these requirements.
TI's TPS54200 is a new DC/DC synchronous buck LED driver that helps support video surveillance and other end equipment. The device provides an efficient, cost-effective solution with high analog dimming accuracy. The TPS54200 is available in a simple, small outline transistor (SOT) 23-6 package that allows users to easily design an LED driver board.
Figure 1 shows a simplified schematic of the TPS54200, which drives a series of white LEDs with a minimum number of external components. This will be a good solution for commercial/industrial video surveillance cameras or other general purpose LED lighting.

When driving LED strings, the TPS54200 has a low RDS(on) value to provide high efficiency. The flip-chip-on-lead (FCOL) technology minimizes the inductance and resistance between the die and package leads. With its low on-resistance, the device can operate with high efficiency (97% peak efficiency) and keep the power consumption of the surveillance camera as low as possible. See Figure 2.

TI designed the TPS54200's analog dimming function with excellent accuracy, making the current through the LED proportional to the pulse width modulation (PWM) duty cycle with good linearity and good linearity. See Figure 3. Therefore, you can make the microcontroller unit (MCU) produce PWM pulses that are more accurate than typical dimming with a DC voltage.

With the TPS54200, a series of LEDs can be driven with very high brightness accuracy via PWM inputs, even with a 5% PWM duty cycle. This is a great benefit for end-equipment designers who want to ensure accurate brightness control, even when using unadjusted LEDs for low cost. See Figure 4.

In keeping with the current global trend of low-power LED lighting, the TPS54200 can drive a series of white LEDs with high brightness control in a simple, easy-to-use, cost-effective design. For video surveillance camera manufacturers and other terminal equipment manufacturers who need to use simple LED drivers for serial LED lighting, they will find the value of such a solution to them.

Tungsten Carbide Plate
Tungsten carbide plates are typically produced through a process called powder metallurgy. In this process, tungsten carbide particles and a binder metal are mixed together and then pressed into a desired shape using a high-pressure press. The resulting compact is then sintered at a high temperature to create a solid, dense material.
The properties of tungsten carbide plates can be tailored by adjusting the composition and processing parameters. For example, increasing the tungsten carbide content will result in a material with higher hardness and wear resistance, while increasing the binder metal content can improve toughness and impact resistance.
Tungsten carbide plates are often used in cutting tools, such as drills and saw blades, due to their ability to maintain a sharp edge even after extended use. They are also used in wear parts, such as bearings, seals, and nozzles, as well as in mining and construction equipment components, such as teeth, blades, and buckets.
Tungsten carbide plates are also used in the manufacture of molds and dies for the production of metal and plastic parts. They can be used to create intricate shapes and details with high precision and accuracy, making them ideal for applications where a high degree of repeatability is required.
Overall, tungsten carbide plates are a versatile and high-performance material that offers exceptional wear resistance, toughness, and strength, making them an ideal choice for a wide range of industrial applications.
