80 W offline LED driver with PFC
1
Introduction
The use of high power LEDs in lighting applications is becoming increasingly popular due to
rapid improvements in lighting efficiency, longer life, higher reliability and overall cost
effectiveness. Dimming functions are more easily implemented in LEDs, and they are more
robust and offer wider design flexibility compared to other light sources.
For this reason a demonstration board for driving high brightness and power LEDs has been
developed. The STEVAL-ILL013V1 demonstration board is an 80 W offline dimmable LED
driver with high power factor (PF) intended for fixed number of LEDs, the overall design of
which is described in detail in this user manual.
The LED current can be set to 350 mA, 700 mA and 1000 mA, using jumpers. Additionally,
a dimming function using a PWM (pulse width modulation) signal is implemented as well,
allowing the user to set the LED brightness from 0% up to 100%. The demonstration board
can be ordered using order code STEVAL-ILL013V1, and is shown in
Figure 1.

Getting started
This section is intended to help designers begin evaluating the board quickly, describing
how the board should be connected with the load and how the jumpers adjust the output
LED current.
As mentioned in the introduction, the board has a nominal output power of 80 W and the
output LED current can be set to 350 mA, 700 mA or 1 A. The LEDs are connected to one
string. Basically, this means if the LED current is set to 350 mA, then the LED voltage should
be approximately 228 V in order to provide output power of 80 W. If the LED current is set to
700 mA, then the LED voltage should be around 114 V. Finally, if the LED current is set
to 1 A, then the LED voltage should be about 80 V. Assuming that a high brightness LED
has (typically) a 3.5 V forward voltage drop, the number of LEDs for the 350 mA output
current is 65, for the 700 mA output current it is 32 and for the output current of 1 A it is 23
(see
Table 1).
Of course, designers must recalculate the number of LEDs in cases where
the LED has a forward voltage drop other than 3.5 V. If the output LED voltage is different
than that given in
Table 1,
output LED current precision will be influenced so is
recommended that the total forward voltage drop across all the LEDs is as close as possible
to the calculated output voltages shown in
Table 1.
Connect the LED string to the board using connector J2 or J3, being careful to observe the
correct LED polarity (anode + and cathode –). Set the output LED current to 350 mA, 700
mA or 1 A, based on how many LEDs are connected to the output. The output LED current
is set using jumpers JP1, JP2, JP3 and JP4, in accordance with the connection settings
specified in
Table 2.
It is not necessary to connect a dimming module with a PWM signal,
because if the module is not used the LED brightness is set to maximum level (100%
brightness). Finally, connect an input voltage to the demonstration board between 88 VAC
and 265 VAC, and the LEDs begin illuminating.
Note:
The LEDs cannot be connected during operation, when the input voltage is connected to the
demonstration
board. This is because in this case the output capacitor C208 = 0.47 µF is
charged to 400 V and can cause uncontrolled peak LED current.
