Introduction
This demonstration board highlights the performance of a
LM3444 based Flyback LED driver solution that can be used
to power a single LED string consisting of 4 to 10 series con-
nected LEDs from an 180 V_RMS to 265 V_RMS, 50 Hz input
power supply. The key performance characteristics under
typical operating conditions are summarized in this applica-
tion note.
This is a four-layer board using the bottom and top layer for
component placement. The demonstration board can be
modified to adjust the LED forward current, the number of se-
ries connected LEDs that are driven and the switching fre-
quency. Refer to the LM3444 datasheet for detailed instruc-
tions.
A bill of materials is included that describes the parts used on
this demonstration board. A schematic and layout have also
been included along with measured performance character-
istics.
