Power Factor Corrected LED Driver Featuring Primary Side CC / CV Control
NCL30388
The NCL30388 is a power factor corrected controller targeting isolated and non−isolated constant current LED drivers. Designed to support flyback, buck−boost and SEPIC topologies, the controller operates in a quasi−resonant mode to provide high efficiency. Due to a novel control method, the device is able to tightly regulate a constant LED current from the primary side and provides near−unity power factor. This removes the need for secondary side feedback circuitry, its biasing and for an optocoupler.
The device is highly integrated with a minimum number of external components. A robust suite of safety protection is built in to simplify the design.
