LED direct AC drivers help designers develop lighting solutions with smaller form factors

Stocked by Mouser, Fairchild LED direct AC drivers (DACD) help designers develop lighting solutions with a smaller form factor, scalable power, excellent performance, and long system lifetimes. These integrated circuit solutions offer phase-cut dimming, analog dimming and PWM dimming capabilities for smart commercial lighting applications. These DACDs can scale power from 12W to 120W, reducing the number of required ICs. By eliminating the need for magnetic components and electrolytic caps, these drivers can fit into tighter spaces, have fewer points-of-failure, and last longer than SMPS-based products. They can also be tuned for low flicker without compromising the PF and THD performance. Reference design boards are available for evaluating the DACD solutions.
