This paper proposes a single-stage Sepic-type high brightness LED driver for universal line input to perform power factor correcting and LED dimming. In the driver, a coupled inductor is introduced to replace with two separate inductors to lower volume and cost. A soft-switching cell is embedded into the driver to obtain zero-voltage switching ZVS feature so as to furthermore improve driver eff...

This exploratory study was carried out with the objective to know optical behavior of light-emitting diode (LED) lamps used and temperature reached by electronic components that compose driver (electronic circuit situated inside body LED lamp) responsible convert electrical alternating current from power line direct operate devices. Then, two different experiments were lamps. In first experimen...

A dedicated triple wavelength LED driver is presented for optical brain–computer interfacing (BCI). The solution caters for the constraints of a common-anode grounded case and modulation up to several kilohertz that allows source separation of light that has backscattered from the brain. With total harmonic distortion of 0.95% and a frequency range of 40 kHz, the driver has application in a con...

The life of LED driver is mainly dependent on the component used in it. Elimination of electrolytic capacitor is done so that the life of LED driver will increase, if an ac-dc LED driver with power factor correction control is used than the output will be a pulsating current for driving the LED. Since the pulsating current will introduce light flicker that varies double the power line frequency...

• The on-chip op amp of the PIC16F785 is used to amplify the voltage across the current sensing resistor. This allows a much smaller sensing resistor to be used and reduces power dissipation. • The PIC16HV785 device can be used, which eliminates the requirement for an external 5V regulator when operating from higher supply voltages. • This application has unused analog resources which could be ...

This paper presents and implements a single-stage high-power-factor light-emitting diode (LED) driver with coupled inductors, suitable for streetlight applications. The presented LED driver integrates an interleaved buck-boost power factor correction (PFC) converter with coupled inductors and a half-bridge-type series-resonant converter cascaded with a full-bridge rectifier into a single-stage ...
