In this paper, a LED driver compatible with TRIAC-dimmer applying active bleeder is proposed. If TRIAC-dimmer is connected with LED driver, flicker phenomenon occurs by TRIAC malfunction. In order to prevent this problem, a current over holding current must flow into TRIAC. Therefore, additional circuit compatible with TRIAC-dimmer is required to provide enough current. Passive bleeder has power loss in whole operation period. The proposed circuit apply a valley-fill circuit for power-factor-correction and a novel active bleeder detecting malfunction point of TRIAC. Therefore, it prevent malfunction of TRIAC-dimmer and have advantage of higher efficiency than passive bleeder. To verify the validity of proposed circuit, 13W-lighting LED driver prototype has been proposed.

Light-emitting diode (LED) drivers are recently replacing fluorescent lamps; these drivers can operate adaptively with various ballasts without modifying and removing such ballasts. To satisfy these trends, a LED driver that is compatible with both electronic and magnetic ballasts is proposed in this study. Unlike conventional LED drivers, the proposed driver has a ballast recognition circuit and a mode selection circuit to operate ballasts at optimal conditions. Therefore, it features low voltage stress, high efficiency, and good compatibility with both electronic and magnetic ballasts. Moreover, it can be compatible with a wide selection of ballasts from various manufacturers. To confirm the validity of the proposed LED driver, results of the theoretical analysis and experimental verification performed on a 15 W-rated prototype are presented.

This paper is to show the designing for LED lights driver unit. The main purpose of driver designing is high electrical efficient performance and intelligent control LED driver. Nowadays, a lightning system with some of charactestics such as an environmentally friendly purposes with a possible reduction of electric power consumptions. We constitute a intelligent contron LED control system that helps to save an electric energy, and a communication system to control the system. This LED driver can be used for intelligent light control. This product expects to improve the light control by dimming instead of interlace on/off light control that increases the social cost such as car accidents and etc.

This study proposes a single-stage light-emitting diode (LED) tube lamp driver with input-current shaping for T8/T10-type fluorescent lamp replacements. The proposed AC-DC LED driver integrates a dual-boost converter with coupled inductors and a half-bridge series-resonant converter with a bridge rectifier into a single-stage power conversion topology. This paper presents the operational principles and design considerations for one T8-type 18 W-rated LED tube lamp with line input voltages ranging from 100 V rms to 120 V rms. Experimental results for the prototype driver show that the highest power factor (PF = 0.988), lowest input current total harmonic distortion (THD = 7.22%), and highest circuit efficiency (η = 92.42%) are obtained at an input voltage of 120 V. Hence, the proposed driver is feasible for use in energy-efficient indoor lighting applications.

TOP245P driver IC modeling technique are proposed for the LED Driver design. Analog behavioral model of TOP245P IC including the shunt regulator, under-voltage(UV) detection, over-voltage(OV) shut-down and SR flip-flop is developed by using PSPICE. The averaged-model and switching-model is applied to the LED driver simulation. The simulation results by the proposed TOP245P IC modeling technique are in good agreement with that in the data sheet and an experiment data.
