RT8476
Two-Stage Hysteretic LED Driver Controller
General Description
The RT8476 is a two-stage controller with dual gate drivers consist of a Boost converter (first stage) and a Buck converter (second stage). The advantage of the two-stage topology is highly compatible with ET (Electronic Transformer) in MR16 / AR111 lighting market field applications.
The first stage is a Boost converter for constant voltage output with inductor peak current over current protection. The second stage is a Buck converter for constant output current by typical constant peak current regulation.
The RT8476 is equipped with dual output gate drivers for external power MOSFETs, suitable for higher power applications.
The RT8476 is available in the SOP-8 and SOP-8 (Exposed pad) packages.
