With a proprietary control scheme, Diodes’ AL8821 is compatible with many commonly used electronic transformers and provides designs with high power factor (PF) and low total harmonic distortion (THD).

The operating frequency of up to 1 MHz allows the use of a small-size inductor. The SO-8EP package has a low thermal resistance and can be used in a wide range of output powers. The driver can be used in dimmable applications and is compatible with leading-edge and trailing-edge dimmers.
