LED Driver with Active Power Factor Correction and Phase
Dimming Decoder
General Description
The LM3450 is a power factor controller (PFC) with separate
phase dimming decoder. The PFC regulates an accurate out-
put voltage while maintaining excellent power factor at the
input. The phase dimming decoder interprets the phase angle
and remaps it to a 500Hz PWM output. This combination of
features is ideal for implementing a dimmable off-line LED
driver for 10-100W loads.
The phase dimming decoder has several unique features. A
programmable mapping from input to output increases design
flexibility, while a dynamic filter and variable sampling rate
provide a fast, smooth response to dimmer movement. A dy-
namic hold circuit ensures that the phase dimmer angle is
decoded properly while minimizing the extra power losses
associated with holding current.
