Single-stage SSL LED drivers offer 1 to 100% dimming

The iW3606 (8-W output) and iW3608 (15-W output), single-stage, solid state lighting (SSL) LED drivers address cost, performance and lifetime issues in dimmable bulb applications. Both LED drivers allow SSL designers to reduce their bill of materials cost by 20% to 40%(1) compared to competitive solutions. The drivers incorporate a patented, configurable over-temperature protection and derating functionality to provide predictability and reliability of bulb operating life and offer the industry’s lowest pop-on current,

Designed for all retrofit bulbs, including candle and GU10 lamp replacements used in existing phase-cut dimmer installations, the single-stage SSL LED drivers manage the poor dimming performance such as pop-on, popcorning, dead travel, drop-out, and flicker. Both drivers meet or exceed global regulations for power quality and efficiency with a power factor of >0.92, total harmonic distortion (THD) of
