DESCRIPTION
The LM3445 is an adaptive constant off-time AC/DC
buck (step-down) constant current controller designed
to be compatible with triac dimmers. The LM3445
provides a constant current for illuminating high
power LEDs and includes a triac dim decoder. The
dim decoder allows wide range LED dimming using
standard triac dimmers. The high frequency capable
architecture allows the use of small external passive
components. The LM3445 includes a bleeder circuit
to ensure proper triac operation by allowing current
flow while the line voltage is low to enable proper
firing of the triac. A passive PFC circuit ensures good
power factor by drawing current directly from the line
for most of the cycle, and provides a constant positive
voltage to the buck regulator. Additional features
include thermal shutdown, current limit and VCC
under-voltage lockout.
