CL8801
Overview
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.
- Minimal component count (base config: CL8801 + 4 resistors + diode bridge) *
- No magnetics, no capacitors *
- Up to 7.5W output (13W w/ heat sink) *
- >110Lm/W using efficient LEDs *
- 85% electrical efficiency *
- >0.95 power factor *
- <30% THD line current *
- Low conducted EMI w/o filters *
