Application Note RT8458A Single-stage offline LED driver for 9W LED Bulb 1. Introduction The document describes a non-isolated, high efficiency LED driver designed to drive an LED string with a nominal voltage of 32 V at a current of 277 mA from an input voltage range of 90 VAC to 265 VAC. It is designed to fit inside a 9W LED Bulb fixture. The RT8458A is a PWM controller with an integrated high side floating gate driver. It is used for step down converters by well controlling the external MOSFET and regulating a constant output current. The output duty cycle of the RT8458A can be up to 100% for wider input voltage application, such as E27 and PAR30 off-line LED lighting products. The RT8458A also features a 46kHz fixed frequency oscillator, an internal 220mV precision reference, and a PWM comparator with latching logic. The accurate output LED current is achieved by an averaging current feedback loop and the LED current dimming can be easily controlled via the ACTL pin. The RT8458A also has multiple features to protect the controller from fault conditions, including Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO), Over Current Protection circuit (OCP) and Over Voltage Protection (OVP). Additionally, to ensure the system reliability, a RT8458A is built with the thermal protection function. In the following paragraphs contains the LED driver specification, schematic, PCB diagram, bill of materials, conducted EMI measurements, and typical performance characteristics. 2. System schematic The RT8458A is a high side floating gate driver is used to control the Buck converter via an external MOSFET and regulate the constant output current.
