High Power Factor LED Replacement T8 Fluorescent Tube using the AL9910 High Voltage LED Controller
Yong Ang, Diodes Inc.
Introduction
This application note describes the principles and design equations required for the design of a high brightness LED lamp using the AL9910. The equations are then used to demonstrate the design of a universal, offline, high power factor (PF), 13W LED lamp suitable for use as the replacement for T8 fluorescent tube. A complete design including the electrical diagram, component list and performance measurements are provided.
