SSL2109 series
GreenChip controller for LED lighting
Rev. 3 — 4 June 2012
Product data sheet
1. General description
The SSL2109 series is a range of high-voltage Integrated Circuits (IC) for driving LED
lamps in general lighting applications.
The main benefits of this IC include:
• Small Printed-Circuit Board (PCB) footprint, and compact solution
• High efficiency (up to 95 %)
• Ease of integration and many protection features
• Low electronic Bill Of Material (BOM)
The IC is supplementary to the SSL2108 series but without an internal switch. The IC
range has been designed to start up directly from the HV supply by an internal
high-voltage current source. Thereafter, the dV/dt supply is used with capacitive coupling
from the drain, or any other auxiliary supply. This functionality provides full flexibility in the
application design. An internal clamp limits the supply voltage.
The IC provides accurate output current control to within 5 % LED current accuracy. The
IC can be operated using Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) dimming and has many
protection features including easy LED temperature feedback.
