This application note presents a reference design for an AR111 lamp LED driver with two parallel strings of five LEDs (5S2P). Using the MAX16819 in buck-boost mode, the circuit operates from 12VAC and delivers an average current of 500mA per string.
The MAX17596 is a peak-current-mode controller for designing wide input-voltage flyback regulators.
Due to its simplicity and low cost, the flyback converter is the preferred choice for low-to-medium isolated DC-DC power-conversion applications. However, the use of an optocoupler or an auxiliary winding on the flyback transformer for voltage feedback across the isolation barrier increases the number of components and design complexity. The MAX17690 eliminates the need for an optocoupler or auxiliary transformer winding and achieves ±5% output voltage regulation over line, load, and temperature variations.
