The MAX16841 offline LED driver provides flicker-free dimming from maximum light intensity down to zero intensity with both leading-edge (triac) and trailing-edge
(transistor) dimmers. Constant frequency control optimizes efficiency at both low- and high-ac line voltages.
With a wide 90- to 265-Vac input range it is a universal solution for Japanese, Chinese, U.S., and European dimmer models.The part can be designed in isolated (flyback) and nonisolated (buck) configurations and can be designed in without electrolytic capacitors. Housed in an 8-pin SOIC package, the MAX16841 is fully specified over the –40°C to 125°C temperature range.(From $1.35 ea/1,000 available now)
