LED driver offer superior performance in powering MR16 / AR111 and other lamps

Offering superior performance for powering MR16 / AR111 lamps and general lamp illumination applications Diodes Inc's AL8820 LED driver is now available from Mouser stock. The LED driver is compatible with many commonly used electronic transformers and meets high power factor (PF) and low total harmonic distortion (THD) requirements for these applications. The AL8820 integrates two DC-DC converters. Stage 1 is a boost PFC stage which improves PF, reduces EMI, powers the Buck stage and the compatibility of electronic transformers. The buck stage regulates the LED current through the setting of an external sense resistor. The low on-resistance of the integrated MOSFETs reduces the conduction power loss.
