5 LM3445 120VAC, 8W Isolated Flyback LED Driver Demo Board Schematic
WARNING
The LM3445 evaluation board has exposed high voltage
components that present a shock hazard. Care must be taken when
handling the evaluation board. Avoid touching the evaluation
board and removing any cables while the evaluation board is
operating. Isolating the evaluation board rather than the
oscilloscope is highly recommended.
CAUTION
The ground connection on the evaluation board is NOT referenced to earth
ground. If an oscilloscope ground lead is connected to the evaluation board
ground test point for analysis and AC power is applied, the fuse (F1) will fail
open. The oscilloscope should be powered via an isolation transformer before
an oscilloscope ground lead is connected to the evaluation board.
The LM3445 evaluation board should not be powered with an open load. For
proper operation, ensure that the desired number of LEDs are connected at the
output before applying power to the evaluation board.
