CL8800
Overview
CL8800 is designed to drive a long string of inexpensive, low-current LEDs directly from the AC mains. A basic driver circuit consists of CL8800, six resistors, and a bridge rectifier.
- Minimal component count (base config: CL8800 + 6 resistors + diode bridge)
- No magnetics, no capacitors
- Up to 7.5W output (13W w/ heat sink)
- >110Lm/W using efficient LEDs
- 85% typical electrical efficiency
- >0.95 power factor
- <20% THD line current
- Low conducted EMI w/o filters
- 85% LED luminous utilization
- Phase dimmer compatible with an RC network
