CL8801 Datasheet (Supertex) - Sequential Linear LED Driver

CL8801, Sequential Linear LED Driver

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.

Two to four additional components are optional for various levels of transient protection.

No capacitors,
