Phase-cut Dimmable Compact LED Direct AC Driver

The FL77904 is a direct AC line LED driver with a minimal number of external RC passive components. In normal configuration, one resistor adjusts LED current for desired system luminance and another bypass capacitor provides a stable voltage to an internal biasing shunt regulator.The FL77904 provides phase-cut dimming with wide dimming range, smooth dimming control and good dimmer compatibility. Optimized levels of each LED strings’ current regulation achieve over 0.98 high PF and less than 20% low THD which makes the FL77904 suitable for high-efficiency LED lighting systems. The FL77904 can be also used with a simple rheostat dimmer switches which are suitable for desktop or indoor lamps.Flicker index is significantly improved by using proprietary self valley fill technique without degrading PF and THD. The cost effective solution brings low line ripple light quality with system compactness.Operation of FL77904 admits driving higher-wattage systems, such as street lights and down lights, by simply parallel connecting the driver ICs.
