CL8801 - Sequential Linear LED Driver
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 the CL8801, four resistors, and a bridge rectifier.
Two to four additional components are optional for various levels of transient protection.
No capacitors,
