ICL8001G / ICLS8082G Design Guidelines Design Parameters Foldback Correction When the line input voltage increases, the comparator threshold for switching off the power switch is reached in a shorter time and the resulting increase in operation frequency would lead to a strong increase in the LED driver power.
ICL8001G / ICLS8082G Design Guidelines Design Parameters Switch-on Determination for Quasi-resonant Operation For ideal quasi-resonant operation the switch-on of the power switch should occur when the transformer current in the output circuit reaches zero and half of the oscillation period (oscillation 2 in...

ICL8001G / ICLS8082G Design Guidelines Design Optimizations The lower curve corresponds closely to the lumen flux of the LED array supplied by the driver and illustrates a continuous increase for the switching angle variation at the wall dimmer. 5.1.2 Dimmer Compatibility The driver operation with TRIAC dimmers makes it necessary to observe the requirements regarding their hold- up currents.
ICL8001G / ICLS8082G Design Guidelines Design Optimizations Figure 13 Input current waveforms For an input supply voltage of 100 V the resistors have been changed accordingly: R19 from 3.9 kΩ to 10 kΩ, R19 from 150 kΩ to 300 kΩ and R4 from 2.2 Ω to 2.7 Ω. The increased dimmer compatibility decreases the power factor from 99 % to 86 %.
5.1.4 Dimmer Selection With ICL8001G / ICLS8082G control the LED driver can be operated without a wall dimmer as well as using trailing- and leading-edge dimmers. With the phase-cut dimmers applied above, a satisfying light quality and variation in the LED lumen flux over the dimming range has been achieved. For both technologies the phase-cut range should be sufficiently large to provide the dimming range required.
