This document describes an isolated, power factor corrected, very high efficiency LED driver designed to drive a 30 V LED string at a current of 500 mA (nominal). The input voltage range is 90 VAC to 265 VAC.
The LED driver uses a LNK417EG device from the LinkSwitch-PH family of ICs. This integrated controller and 725 V MOSFET dramatically reduces the complexity and component count of the solution.
The key design goals were to achieve the highest possible efficiency and eliminate electrolytic capacitors. Both are key factors for increasing the lifetime and reliability of LED drivers making this solution ideal for industrial and commercial applications.
This document contains the LED driver specification, schematic, bill of material, transformer documentation and typical performance characteristics.
