STEVAL-ILL016V2: 350mA, 700mA, 1A @ 40V Max, TRIAC

Summary

This application note presents a low-cost driver for LEDs that is compatible with TRIAC phase-control dimmers. The design gives luminaire manufacturers a low-cost, commonly available dimming option for home fixtures. A side benefit is that, when not wired to a dimmer, the unit's power factor is over 0.9. The design is based on the L6562A transitionmode PFC controller driving a single stage PFC-flyback power converter.

An STMicroelectronics Patent Application is pending for the method for dimming an offline LED driver by means of a TRIAC based dimmer as described in this document.
