1. Introduction
This document describes the proposed solution for low line input, 7.8W LED ballast
using the FL7701. The input voltage range is 90V
output with a constant current of 250mA at 31V. This document contains general
description of FL7701, the power supply specification, schematic, bill of materials, and
the typical operating characteristics.
1.1. General Description
The FL7701 LED lamp driver is a simple IC with PFC function and integrated switching
MOSFET. The special “adopted digital” technique automatically detects input voltage
condition and sends an internal reference signal, resulting in high power factor (PF).
When AC input voltage is applied to the IC, PFC function is automatically enabled.
When DC input voltage is applied to the IC, PFC function is automatically disabled. The
FL7701 does not require a bulk capacitor (electrolytic capacitor) for supply rail stability,
which can significantly improve LED reliability.

Notes:
1. The output current has I
ripple. To reduce ripple current, use a large electrolytic capacitor
LEDPK
in parallel with the LED. Ensure the capacitor voltage rating is high enough to withstand an
open-LED condition or use a Zener diode for protection.
2. The output power is not equal to the apparent power due to the slight phase shift between the
output voltage and current.
