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, .
