OFFLINE, HIGH PF, HIGH EFFICIENCY DIMMABLE LED DRIVER CONTROLLER

Description

The AP1694 is a high performance AC/DC power factor corrector for

mains dimmable LED driver applications. The device uses Pulse

Frequency Modulation (PFM) technology to regulate output current

while achieving high power factor and low THD. It operates as a BCM

(Boundary Conduction Mode) controller which is good for EMI.

The AP1694 provides accurate constant current (CC) regulation while

removing the opto-coupler and secondary control circuitry. It also

eliminates the need of loop compensation circuitry while maintaining

stability. It can meet the requirement of IEC6100-3-2 harmonic

standard.

The AP1694 features low start-up current, low operation current. It

adopts dynamic base driver control technology and valley on

switching mode to achieve high efficiency. It also has rich protection

features including over voltage, short circuit, over temperature

protection.

The AP1694 provides the dimmable LED driver with a wide dimmer

compatibility including leading edge and trailing edge dimmer. The

AP1694 can achieve deep dimming down to 1%, while the dimming

curve is compliant with the standard of NEMA SSL6.

The AP1694 is available in SO-8 package.
