Description
The AP1694A is a high performance AC/DC power factor corrector for
mains dimmable LED driver applications. The device uses Pulse
Frequency Modulation (PFM) technology to regulate output current
while achieving high power factor and low THD. It operates as a BCM
(Boundary Conduction Mode) controller which is good for EMI.
The AP1694A provides accurate constant current (CC) regulation
while removing the opto-coupler and secondary control circuitry. It
also eliminates the need of loop compensation circuitry while
maintaining stability. It can meet the requirement of IEC6100-3-2
harmonic standard.
The AP1694A features low start-up current, low operation current. It
adopts valley on switching mode to achieve high efficiency. It also has
rich protection features including over voltage, short circuit, over
temperature protection.
The AP1694A provides the dimmable LED driver with a wide dimmer
compatibility including leading edge and trailing edge dimmer. The
AP1694A can achieve deep dimming down to 1%, while the dimming
curve is compliant with the standard of NEMA SSL6.
The AP1694A is available in SO-8 package.
