specification, schematic, bill of materials, and the typical operating characteristics.

1.1. Description

This third-generation Primary-Side-Regulation (PSR) and highly integrated PWM controller provides features to enhance the performance of LED illumination.

The proprietary topology, TRUECURRENT™, enables precise CC regulation and simplified circuit design for LED illumination applications. The result is lower-cost and smaller LED lighting compared to a conventional design or a linear transformer.

To minimize standby power consumption, the proprietary Green Mode provides off-time modulation to linearly decrease PWM frequency under light-load conditions. Green Mode assists the power supply in meeting the power conservation requirements.

By using the FL103, LED illumination can be implemented with few external components and minimized cost.

1.2. Features

 Low Standby Power: < 30mW  High-Voltage Startup  Few External Components  Constant-Voltage (CV) and Constant-Current (CC) Control without Secondary-

Feedback Circuitry

 Green-Mode: Linearly-Decreasing PWM Frequency  Fixed PWM Frequency at 50kHz and 33kHz, Frequency Hopping to Solve EMI

Problems

 Peak-Current-Mode Control in CV Mode  Cycle-by-Cycle Current Limiting  V  V

Counterfeiting of semiconductor parts is a growing problem in the industry. All manufacturers of semiconductor products are experiencing counterfeiting of their parts.

Fairchild is taking strong measures to protect ourselves and our customers from the proliferation of counterfeit parts. Fairchild strongly encourages customers to purchase Fairchild parts either directly from Fairchild or from Authorized Fairchild Distributors who are listed by country on our web page cited above. Products customers buy either from Fairchild directly or from Authorized Fairchild Distributors are genuine parts, have full traceability, meet Fairchild's quality standards for handling and storage and provide access to Fairchild's full range of up-to-date technical and product information. Fairchild and our Authorized Distributors will stand behind all warranties and will appropriately address any warranty issues that may arise. Fairchild will not provide any warranty coverage or other assistance for parts bought from Unauthorized Sources. Fairchild is committed to combat this global problem and encourage our customers to do their part in stopping this practice by buying direct or from authorized distributors.
