本文介紹了LinkSwitch-PH系列主要特性,功能方框圖, TRIAC調光14W 和7W LED驅動器電路圖,以及TRIAC調光14W LED驅動器參考設計主要指標,電路圖和材料清單(BOM).PowerInt 公司的LinkSwitch-PH系列集成了725V功率MOSFET,連續(xù)模式PWM控制器,用于自偏置的高壓開關電流源,頻率抖動,逐個周期的電流限制以及延遲熱關斷電路,大大地簡化PF大于0.9, TRIAC調光的LED驅動器的設計,主要用在離線LED驅動器.

The LinkSwitch-PH dramatically simplifies implementation of LED drivers requiring PF >0.9, TRIAC dimmer capability and high efficiency. The single-stage PF and constant current controller eliminates passive circuitry required for power factor correction and electrolytic bulk capacitor. The advanced primary-side control techniques used by the LinkSwitch-PH device provide accurate constant current control while eliminating the need for an optocoupler and secondary-side current control circuitry.

LinkSwitch-PH incorporates a 725 V 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, all in a monolithic IC.

The document describes a high power-factor TRIAC dimmable LED driver designed to drive a nominal LED string voltage of 28 V at 0.5 A from an input voltage range of 90 VAC to 265 VAC. The LED driver utilizes the LNK406EG from the LinkSwitch-PH family of ICs.

LinkSwitch-PH ICs allow the implementation of cost effective and low component count LED drivers which both meet power factor and harmonics limits but also offer enhanced end user experience. This includes ultra-wide dimming range, flicker free operation (even with low cost with AC line TRIAC dimmers) and fast, clean turn on.

The topology used is an isolated Flyback operating in continuous conduction mode.Output current regulation is sensed entirely from the primary side eliminating the need for secondary side feedback components. No external current sensing is required on the primary side either as this is performed inside the IC further reducing components and losses. The internal controller adjusts the MOSFET duty cycle to maintain a sinusoidal input current and therefore high power factor and low harmonic currents.

The LNK406EG also provides a sophisticated range of protection features including autorestart for open control loop and output short-circuit conditions. Line overvoltage provides extended line fault and surge withstand, output overvoltage protects the supply should the load be disconnect and accurate hysteretic thermal shutdown ensures safe average PCB temperatures under all conditions.

In any LED luminaire the driver determines many of the performance attributes experienced by the end customer (user) including startup time, dimming, flicker and unit to unit consistency. For this design a focus was given to compatibility with as wider range of dimmers and as large of a dimming range as possible, at both 115 VAC and 230 VAC. However simplification of the design is possible for both single input voltage operation, no dimming or operation with a limited range of (higher quality) dimmers.
