Product Brief
ICL8201
AC/DC Buck Controller with high Power Factor for LED Tubes
The ICL8201 is a cascode structure current mode controller for non-isolated floating buck
topologies. The cascode topology enables lower system cost and higher system efficiency.
Key Features
„„ Cascode topology enables lower
Lower system cost:
„„ No auxiliary winding is required to power the IC
„„ No high voltage start up depletion Mosfet is required, fast time to light can be achieved
inherently with cascode topology
Higher system efficiency & reliability:
„„ No start up resistor is required that would cause significant losses during the entire operation. These losses can be eliminated by using the cascode topology which increases
the system efficiency and lifetime.
ICL8201 can provide up to 500mA output current that can cover the entire power range
for LED tubes. The device is tailored for LED tube applications and provides constant
current operation with low output ripple in a real universal input voltage range as well as
load compensation for a wide output voltage range.
The high level of integration enables a minimum of effort for addition of external components. The control concept of the IC supports DC and AC input as well as high Power
Factor Correction (PFC), high efficiency levels and reduced EMI design in Critical Conduction operation Mode without zero crossing detection winding.
Integrated Over-Temperature Protection supports high reliability and long lifetime of
the LED lamps. An external NTC is not required which helps to reduce the system cost. The
SOT23-6 package supports small form factors and low-cost designs.
Applications
„„ T8 lamp
„„ GU10 lamp
„„ A-lamp
„„ Downlights

system cost and higher system
efficiency
„„ Supports wide range AC or DC input
„„ Power factor > 90 %, THD < 20 %
„„ Line/load regulation
capabilities ±5%
„„ LED output current up to 500 mA
Key Benefits
„„ Minimum external components
supporting small form factors and
easy design-in
„„ IC concept supports single inductors
without aux winding
„„ Advanced cascode topology
eliminating the need for a HV cell at
universal input from 90–305 VAC
„„ Full set of protection modes
including intelligent
Over-Temperature Protection
