LED DRIVER CONTROLLER
DESCRIPTION
Featured Device, UTC UL22, is a PWM controller with
innovative Free-DimmingTM technology. The controller drives one
of the two strings of LEDs by an ON/OFF AC wall switch and
provides a cost effective solution for light control. It supports
power-factor-correction function in applications.
UTC UL22 provides several protection features. It includes a
cycle-by-cycle current limit to the power switch; over-current
protection at the LED load; bias voltage VDD over-voltage
protection. In addition, the driver output (DRV) voltage is clamped
for driving the external power MOSFET effectively and safely. The
controller also features an internal over-temperature protection.
