SMPS Controller Provides Efficient Solid-State Lighting from Rectified Mains
The SSL152x SMPS controller ICs
integrate a high-voltage power
switch and a circuit which enables
start-up directly from a rectified
mains voltage.
NXP’s SSL152x controllers include a
dedicated circuit for valley switching, which
provides an efficient solution for solid-state
lighting without using up PCB space. The
SSL152x can operate in applications with a
power range of up to 15W. For a power
range between 15W and 25W the
SSL1623PH is recommended, whilst circuits
with LED powers above 25W, should use
the SSL1750.
In its most basic application, the SSL152x
ICs act as a voltage source, requiring no
additional electronics.
Building on the SSL152x, a combined voltage
and current source can be implemented with
minimal external components.
