Description

Average nominal LED string current assuming that the contribution of the IC supply current is

negligible.

Discharge time at given AC frequency. Will be a maximum of 10ms (½ period duration) at 50Hz.

Peak rectified supply voltage minus LED string forward voltage or minimum ZLED7x30 supply

voltage, whichever is greater.

Example: For an application with 3 LEDs with 3.2V forward voltage each driven at 0.33A and supplied with rectified

24VAC, a mi

nimum bypass capacitor C1 of 220μF or 330μF might be adequate. Compared to the calculation, a

safety margin of about 50% must be added to consider temperature effects and aging.

(10)

A second function of C1 is to bypass the current ripple of the switching converter and thus prevent it from disturbing a

stable IC supply or backlash on the power supply circuit. For this reason even in DC-supplied applications, the use of

an adequate C1 might be useful. The defining parameters are now as shown in equation (11):
