Introduction
In a few general lighting applications, there is a need to isolate
the LEDs from the AC input line. These are cases when
the driver terminals of the LED strings are exposed to the
external environmental conditions, or the LED strings are user
accessible for maintenance during operation. In these cases,
an isolated LED driver is needed for safety considerations.
This design note provides the circuit schematic, bill of
materials, and transformer design for an isolated LED driver
using Supertex’s HV9910B. The power stage is a flyback
converter with an isolated secondary side feedback, using an
opto coupler, to ensure a very good line and load regulation
(typically <1% over line and load). Below are the design
parameters which are the target specification for this LED
driver circuit. This LED driver will also meet CISPR-15 EMI
limits for general lighting.
The information in this datasheet also applies to the Supertex
HV9910.
