RT8497
Power MOSFET Integrated High Efficiency BCM LED Driver
Controller for High Power Factor Applications
General Description
The RT8497 integrates a power MOSFET and a
Boundary mode controller. It is used for step down
converters by well controlling the internal MOSFET and
regulating a constant output current.
The RT8497 features a ZCS detector which keeps
system operating in BCM and obtaining excellent
power efficiency, better EMI performance.
The RT8497 achieves high Power Factor Correction
(PFC) and low Total Harmonic Distortion of Current
(THDi) by a smart internal line voltage compensation
circuit which has minimized system component counts;
saved both PCB size and total system cost.
Especially, the RT8497 can use a cheap simple drum
core inductor in the system instead of an EE core to
obtain high efficiency.
The RT8497 is housed in a SOP-8 package. Thus, the
components in the whole LED driver system can be
made very compact.
