DER-263: 500mA @ 31V Max, 90 ~ 265VAC in

Summary

The document describes a high power-factor secondary referenced, analog dimmable LED driver. The circuit is designed to drive a nominal LED string voltage of 28 V at 500 mA from an input voltage range of 90 VAC to 265 VAC. The LED driver utilizes the LNK406EG from the LinkSwitch-PH family of ICs.

Analog dimming is controlled by an external secondary referenced analog control signal of 0-10 V. 0 volts correspond to minimum light output and 10 V corresponds to maximum brightness. The analog controlled signal is transferred to the primary-side and controls the feedback current IFB of LNK406EG which in turn controls the output power/light output of the driver while maintaining high power factor and low THD.

An active load circuit and control are also included to extend dimming ratio beyond 1000:1 but may be omitted if extended dimming operation is not required.

This document contains the LED driver specification, schematic, PCB diagram, bill of materials, conducted EMI measurements, thermal measurements, transformer documentation and typical performance characteristics.
