Abstract

The present invention mainly discloses low power non-isolated driver that can be used for LED lighting and other non-isolated power supply appliance, in which the input side is connected to an AC or DC input, a PWM control circuit is connected to the buck converter switch, a capacitor filters the output voltage ripple and an output voltage/current control circuit provides feedback signal to the PWM control circuit. The present invention has such features of less component number, low total cost, high reliability, and better line/load regulation.

Claims (6)

1. A low power non-isolated driver comprising a rectify circuit and a buck converter, the buck converter comprising:

a switch connected with the rectify circuit;

a PWM control circuit including a P 1 terminal, a P 2 terminal and a P 3 terminal, the P 1 terminal connected with the switch, the P 2 terminal used for both bias supply and feedback control, and the P 3 terminal being the reference ground of the PWM control circuit;

an output voltage/current control circuit connected respectively with the P 2 and P 3 terminals, the output voltage/current control circuit including a zener diode and a low voltage PNP transistor connected with each other to feedback a signal to the P 2 terminal, and further including a resistor and a low voltage NPN transistor connected with each other to realize constant current control.

2. The low power non-isolated driver of claim 1 , wherein the PWM control circuit is integrated with the switch.

3. The low power non-isolated driver of claim 1 , wherein the output voltage/current control circuit further includes two resistors connected with each other to sense output DC voltage.
