TPS92210EVM-613: 350mA @ 32V Max, 230V in, TRIAC

The TPS92210EVM-613 evaluation module is a constant current TRIAC dimmable LED driver. It can drive 9 to 10 LEDs at 350 mA and is rated for an AC input of 184 VRMS to 265 VRMS.

The TPS92210EVM-613 uses the TPS92210 in a Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) flyback topology. The controller uses cascode configuration which allows for faster start-up times as well as eliminates the need for an external sense resistor for primary-side current sense.

Additionally, the controller employs a max on-time modulation scheme that allows it to be used in a Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuit. This results in a compact LED driver design that achieves greater than 0.95 power factor (PF) driven by a single controller.

The TPS92210EVM-613 is also compatible with a wide variety of TRIAC dimmers. Secondary-side feedback responds to the conduction time of the sinusoidal wave, as governed by the TRIAC, and appropriately lowers the LED current to dim the LEDs. The secondary side also includes an adaptive supplemental load that sinks current when LED current becomes too low, therefore ensuring conduction of the TRIAC during very low dimming.
