CL8801 General Description

The CL8801 is designed to drive a long string of inexpensive, low-current LEDs directly from the AC mains. A basic driver circuit consists of CL8801, four resistors and a bridge rectifier. Two to four additional components are optional for various levels of transient protection. No capacitors, EMI f.
