The HVLED805 from STMicroelectronics offers higher reliability and efficiency for ultra-compact LED lamps
The HVLED805 is a high-voltage primary switcher intended for operating directly from the rectified mains with minimum external parts to provide an efficient, compact and cost effective solution for LED driving.
The IC is a current-mode controller, using primary-side feedback, specifically designed for ZVS (Zero Voltage Switching) fly-back LED drivers, with constant output current (CC) regulation.
The device can also provide a constant output voltage regulation (CV).
The maximum switching frequency is top-limited at 166 kHz, so that at medium-light load a special function automatically lowers the operating frequency still maintaining the operation as close to ZVS as possible, to reduce switching losses and EMI
Although an auxiliary winding is required in the transformer to correctly perform CV/CC regulation, the chip is able to power itself directly from the rectified mains. It also offers protection features that considerably increase end-product´s safety and reliability: auxiliary winding disconnection or brownout detection and shorted secondary rectifier or transformer´s saturation detection. All of them are auto restart mode.
