LinkSwitch-PL Family
LED Driver IC with TRIAC Dimming, Single-Stage PFC and
Constant Current Control for Non-Isolated Applications
Product Highlights
Dramatically Simplifies Off-line LED Drivers
• Single stage power factor correction and accurate constant
current (CC) output
• Flicker-free phase-controlled TRIAC dimming
• Very low component count with small non-electrolytic bulk
capacitor, for compact replacement lamp designs
• Compact SO8 package
• Completely eliminates control loop compensation

Advanced Protection and Safety Features
• 725 V integrated MOSFET allows small bulk capacitance and
maximizes power capability
• Latching shutdown protection for short-circuit / open feedback
and output overvoltage
• Auto-restart for overload condition
• Hysteretic thermal shutdown
• Meets high-voltage creepage between DRAIN and all other pins
both on PCB and at package

Number of
The LinkSwitch-PL family enables a very small and low cost
single-stage power factor corrected constant current driver for
solid state lighting. Optimized for direct LED current sensing, the
LinkSwitch-PL operates over a wide input voltage range
delivering an output power of up to 16 W. The LinkSwitch-PL
control algorithm provides flicker-free TRIAC dimming with minimal
external components.
