RT8402
Phase-Cut Dimmable High Side Buck LED Driver with High
Power Factor
General Description
The RT8402 is a boundary mode controller that can
provide good PFC and be suitable for wall dimmer. The
RT8402 supports phase-cut dimmers, including
leading-edge (TRIAC) and trailing-edge dimmers. It is
used for buck converter and can be compatible with
TRIAC dimmer. The external MOSFET is switched by
internal gate driver and the feedback circuit regulates
output current precisely.
The RT8402 features a ZCS detector which keeps
system operating in BCM and obtaining excellent
power efficiency, better EMI performance.
The robust dimming control method can adjust the
output current following the TRIAC turn on angle and
avoid abnormal flicker.
This driver can use a cheap simple drum core inductor
in the system instead of an EE core to obtain high
efficiency.
The RT8402 is housed in a TSOT-23-6 package. Thus,
the components in the whole LED driver system can be
made very compact.

Operation
The RT8402 senses the average output current and
regulates the current precisely. The VC pin is the
stability compensation node in this close loop. To
stabilize the system and achieve better PFC / THDi,
proper selection of a compensation network is needed.
By using boundary mode control, it provides good
efficiency performance. The dimming characteristic can
be optimized by adjusting the external setting of DIM
pin.
