Overview

 

 
Artistic Licence offers a range of products tailored to the specific 
requirements of product manufacturers in the Lighting Industry. 
 
The AL4000 DMX512 Processor (aka Dimmer Chips) range include 
microprocessor solutions for a wide selection of lighting control 
products. The range is usually supplied at chip level for integration at 
the design phase. We can, however, supply board level solutions or 
indeed entire turnkey product design. 
 
Originally aimed at small companies without the R&D facilities to 
develop microprocessor equipment, we now supply major lighting 
manufacturers around the world. 
 
We guarantee that a Dimmer Chip will simplify your next design.

AL4002

 

 

Three Phase Dimmer

 

The AL4002 is a 68 pin PLCC device. It provides all the control 
features required for a medium specification three phase digital 
dimmer. 
Both analogue and DMX512 inputs are supported. Features include 
four dimmer curves, preheat, consecutive or alternate phase outputs, 
good data indication and fan speed control. 
DMX base address is set by external thumbwheel inputs. 
 

AL4005

 

 

Demux Controller

 

The AL4005 is a 40 pin DIL device. It provides all the control 
features required to develop a 96 channel DMX512 to analogue 
converter. 
DMX base address is set by external thumbwheel inputs. 
 

AL4006/9

 

 

Analogue & Relay Controller

 

The AL4006 and AL4009 are 40 pin DIL devices. They both provide 
two analogue and sixteen switched outputs. Excellent for automating 
smoke machines etc. 
DMX base address is set by external thumbwheel inputs.
