Methods of controlling multiple LED strings with C2000™ microcontrollers (MCUs)
As more applications continue to integrate LED technology, developers find themselves facing the challenge of driving greater numbers of LEDs while lowering system cost and increasing power efficiency. For systems requiring multiple strings of LEDs, TI provides two example solutions illustrating differing power stage topology designs and digital control methods. This whitepaper explores the different LED driver topologies and digital control m...
Offline LED Lighting Simplified: High Power Factor, Isolated LED Driver Needs No Opto-Isolators and is TRIAC Dimmer Compatible
As environmental concerns over traditional lighting increase and the price of LEDs decreases, high power LEDs are fast becoming a popular lighting solution for offline applications. In order to meet the requirements of offline lighting—such as high power factor, high effi ciency, isolation and TRIAC dimmer compatibility—prior LED drivers used many external discrete components, resulting in cumbersome solutions. The LT®3799 solves complexity...
