Power Integrations expands it's LinkSwitch-PH family of TRIAC-dimmable, single-stage, power-factor-corrected LED driver ICs targeting solid-state lighting applications with LNK413-LNK419 devices.
Description
LinkSwitch-PH dramatically simplifies implementation of LED drivers requiring Power Factors greater than 0.9, TRIAC dimming, and high efficiency. This highly integrated controller introduces a new control technique that provides very high power factor and accurate output current control, and eliminates passive circuitry required for power factor correction, optocoupler and secondary current control circuitry.
Each device incorporates a 725V power MOSFET, a continuous-mode PWM controller, a high voltage switched current source for self biasing, frequency jittering, cycle-by-cycle current limit and hysteretic thermal shutdown circuitry into a monolithic IC.
