1. General description
The SSL2129AT is a high-voltage Integrated Circuit (IC) for driving LED lamps in general
lighting applications.
The main benefits of this IC include:
• Small Printed-Circuit Board (PCB) footprint and compact solution
• High efficiency (up to 95 %) for non-dimmable high power factor solutions
• High power factor (>0.9)
• Ease of integration and many protection features
• Low electronic Bill Of Material (BOM)
• Mains phase-cut dimmable using external components
• Highly flexible IC for use in buck, buck/boost and flyback modes
• Single inductor used for non-isolated configurations because of internal
demagnetization detection
The IC range has been designed to start up directly from the HV supply using an internal
hi
gh-voltage current source. An internal clamp limits the supply voltage.
2. Features and benefits
LED driver IC for driving strings of LEDs or high-voltage LED modules from a rectified
mains supply
Driver provides power-efficient boundary co
nduction mode of operation with:
