1. General description
The SSL5021BTS is a highly integrated, high-precision, non-isolated MOSFET/bipolar
buck controller. It is intended to drive LED lamps in universal mains non-dimmable lighting
applications up to 25 W. The SSL5021BTS is designed for low-ripple applications.
The SSL5021BTS operates in Boundary Conduction Mode (BCM) with on-time regulation.
Operating in BCM provides a constant output current control with high accuracy. Adaptive
switching frequency gives freedom to choose the inductor, which enables the optimization
of inductor size, efficiency and EMI.
The SSL5021BTS starts up and operates in switching mode directly from an external
resistor without dV/dt supply or auxiliary supply. This feature simplifies the V
CC
supply. It
allows a low-cost off-the-shelf inductor to be used, providing flexibility in application
design.
The SSL5021BTS comes in a compact TSOP6 package.
The SSL5031BTS is suitable for high power factor/Low-THD applications with a
high-temperature foldback function. The SSL5031CTS is best for high power
factor/low-THD applications without a high-temperature foldback function.
