NCL30081
Dimmable Quasi-Resonant Primary Side Current-Mode Controller for LED Lighting
The NCL30081 is a PWM current mode controller targeting isolated flyback and non−isolated constant current topologies. The controller operates in a quasi−resonant mode to provide high efficiency. Thanks to a novel control method, the device is able to precisely regulate a constant LED current from the primary side. This removes the need for secondary side feedback circuitry, biasing and 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. This device is specifically intended for very compact space efficient designs.
