ON Semiconductor Introduces New LED Driver for Architectural Lighting

ON Semiconductor has launched a new, advanced offline LED driver called the NCL30001. The LED driver integrates the step-down AC to DC power conversion and the PFC (power factor correction) in a single phase. The cost-effective LED driver is suitable for low bay, architectural, wall packs and street lighting applications.

The NCL30001 controller is well suited for designs having a power requirement range of 40 W and 150 W. The LED controller can be configured as a fixed output voltage or constant current driver, and can be operated in CCM (continuous conduction mode). The NCL30001 comes in a 16-lead SOIC package.

The NCL30001 controller has an adjustable operating frequency ranging from 20-250 kHz. The specification of the flexible LED driver includes a voltage feedforward to enhance loop response, a start-up circuit, a latch input, a brownout detector and an internal overload timer. The LED controller also features a multiplier to minimize the input line harmonics. The NCL30001 comes with a LED driver evaluation board, which is an isolated power factor corrected board. The NCL30001 LED controller has an adjustable current range of 0.7-1.5 A to support a variety of high-brightness LED lighting products.
