Performance Data for 90 to 305 Vac LED Driver
Shown below in Figure 31 is the line regulation and
efficiency with a 36.9 V, 12 LED load. Note the output
current does not vary much over the entire input voltage
range. The data is based on the use of an EFD25 transformer.

Load regulation from 12.3 to 52.5 (4 to 15 LEDs) for 115
and 230 Vac input is shown below in Figure 4. Efficiency for
this range is also shown. Note the tight regulation.
Efficiency is affected by the startup circuit losses in
proportion to load and influenced by higher line voltage.

Figure 34 shows the current regulation as a function of
output voltage (LED forward voltage). The control loop has
been designed to support 4 15 LED based on a forward
voltage that ranged from 2.6 3.5 V. The maximum on time
of the control loop has been configured to limit the
maximum power delivered. This is illustrated at the top of
the output voltage-current transfer function. At the bottom
of the curve, even with a short applied to the output, the
current is limited to less than 1 A.

Figure 35 shows output ripple current for 115 Vac input
and 36.9 (12 LED) load operating at 350 mA average. Scale
factor is 67 mA per division. The low frequency ripple
follows the input twice line frequency rectified sine wave
characteristic of single stage converters.

350 mA Load
Figure 36 shows output ripple current at the main
switching frequency. Scale factor is 33 mA per division.
This is the signal superimposed over the rectified sine wave
ripple component.

Initial start up characteristic is shown in Figure 37 below.
Note the higher current limit controlled by the fast feedback
loop and the transition to the main average mode feedback
control loop. This shows start up at 115 Vac with 36.9 V,
350 mA load. Trace 2 is LED current at 167 mA per division
and trace 3 is applied input voltage at 200 V per division.

Typical voltage stress on power FET with 36.9 V, 350 mA
load and 305 Vac input voltage is shown in Figure 38. Scale
factor is 100 V per division.

Note that while the power supply was designed to meet
agency requirements, it has not been submitted for
compliance. Standard safety practices should be used when
this circuit is energized and in particular when connecting
test equipment. During evaluation, input power should be
sourced through an isolation transformer.
Additional Application Information and Tools
An evaluation board is available for this 90 305 Vac
design example. Moreover, for applications where it is
desired to dim the LEDs via a TRIAC dimmer, please refer
to Application Note AND8448 which explains the steps
necessary to configure the NCL30000 for TRIAC dimming.
In addition there are two additional TRIAC dimmable
reference designs which illustrate a complete design for
90 135 Vac or 180 265 Vac operation. There is also an
Microsoft EXCEL spreadsheet tool available to aid in the
design process and assist in developing target winding
requirements for the transformer.
