AL8821
40V, 2A BOOST LED DRIVER
The AL8821 is a boost converter that delivers an accurate constant
current for MR16 and similar LED Lamps. With proprietary control
scheme, the LED driver is compatible with many commonly used
electronic transformers and provides designs with High Power Factor
(PF) and low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) for these applications.
The operation frequency is up to 1MHz that allows the use of small
size inductor. With the package of SO-8EP, the AL8821 has small
thermal resistance and can be used for wide range of output power.
The driver can be used for dimmable MR16 application and can be
compatible with leading-edge dimmer and trailing-edge dimmer.
