Powerint LNK420EG 75W LED driver solution

LNK403－410/413－420

LinkSwitch-PH LED Driver IC Family

Single-Stage PFC, Primary-Side Constant Current Control and TRIAC Dimming/Non-Dimming Options

The LinkSwitch-PH dramatically simplifies implementation of LED drivers requiring long lifetime, high efficiency, PF >0.9, and TRIAC dimming capability (LNK403-410). The single-stage combined power factor and constant-current controller ELiminates a switching stage and the electrolytic bulk capacitor. The advanced primary-side control used by the LinkSwitch-PH device provides accurate constant current control while eliminating the need for an optocoupler and current sensing circuits.

LinkSwitch-PH incorporates a 725 V power FET, a continuous-mode PWM controller, a high-voltage switched current source for self biasing, frequency jittering, protection circuitry including cycle-by-cycle current limit and hysteretic thermal shutdown.

Reference Design Report for a >92% Efficient 75 W Power Factor Corrected LED Driver Using LinkSwitchTM-PH LNK420EG

This document is an engineering report describing an isolated LED driver (power supply)utilizing a LNK420EG from the LinkSwitch-PH family of devices.

The RD-290 provides a single constant current output of 2.1 A over an LED string voltage of 29 V to 36 V in a highly efficient, simple and low component count design.

The board was optimized to operate over the high AC input voltage range (190 VAC to 300 VAC, 47 Hz to 63 Hz). LinkSwitch-PH based designs provide a high power factor(>0.95) with low harmonic current content, easily meeting international limits.

The form factor of the board was chosen to illustrate the simplicity of fitting into standard down light applications.

The document contains the power supply specification, schematic, bill of materials,transformer documentation, printed circuit layout, and performance data.
