Microchip Technology HV9805
The HV9805 driver integrated circuit (IC) is targeted at general LED lighting products, such as LED lamps and LED lighting fixtures with a maximum power rating of about 25W at 120VAC and about 50W at 230VAC. The first stage, a boundary conduction mode boost converter, transfers power from the AC line to a second stage with high power factor and high efficiency. The second stage, a linear regulator arranged for operation with low overhead voltage, transfers power from the first stage to the LED load with true constant current and protects the LED load from overvoltage that may pass from mains to the output of the first stage.
