Jason Lo, Lighting Business Unit, Diodes Inc.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The emerging Smart Connected Light (SCL) Bulbs, as Internet of Things (IoT) devices in Smart Home
environment, are characterized by integration of wireless-connectivity microcontroller (MCU) in LED light
bulbs. Users can manage LED light bulbs through smart phone APPs to achieve the following needs:

Energy saving (through dimming of brightness) - 1-channel Dimmable White (1-ch DW)

Light quality management – 2-channel Tunable White (2-ch TW)

Entertainment lighting – 3-channel Tunable Color (3-ch TC) or 4-channel White+RGB (4-ch W+RGB)
Typical functional block diagram of SCL bulbs consists of:

AC-DC Power Conversion

LED Driver

Emitter Module

Wireless MCU Connectivity
This application note describes the complete reference design of an A19 10W ZigBee-Enabled 4-channel
White+RGB SCL (4-ch W+RGB SCL) bulb, capable of generating the more than 16 million colors
application and delivers 800 lumens white lighting requirement. It serves as a good starting point for system
designers to further customize SCL bulb design to their desired performance and cost consideration for
similar products.

Figure 1 - Functional Block Diagram for W+RGB Smart Connected Light Bulb
A typical SCL bulb (Figure 1) consists of four major functional blocks:
1) AC-DC Power Conversion - It converts AC input to one or multiple desired output DC Constant Voltages (CV).
For a SCL bulb, two or more CVs might be required to better support various DC power requirements from
Emitters and Wireless Connectivity Module.
2) LED Driver - Taking CV inputs to relevant LED driver channels, the LED driver circuitry generates one or more
Constant Current (CC) to drive associated LED emitters.
3) Wireless Connectivity Module - The Wireless Connectivity Module consists of an intelligent MCU and RF
circuitry to connect a SCL bulb either directly with smartphones or indirectly through WiFi/ZigBee hub, based
on a communication protocol (e.g. Bluetooth/BLE, ZigBee, etc.)
4) LED Emitter Module - This is the light source for the SCL bulb. Driven by PWM dimming signal(s) from
Wireless Connectivity Module, emitters on the LED Emitter Module are properly mixed to generate desired light
output - either brightness adjustment, Corellated Color Temperature (CCT) tuning, or color mixing.

APPLICATION DESCRIPTION

Power Board (PB) Application Description
The PB design (Figure 3) is based on AP3983C PSR AC/DC Switcher IC (integrated MOSFET switch) (refer to the
Key Component Section) to be capable of power rating up to 12W. In the AL179x family, for 350mA channel
current, the maximum LEDs (voltage headroom) is 0.4V. To support four emitter strings with adequate voltage
headroom to Forward Voltage Drop (VF) and attached MCU power, the PB outputs three CVs:

VLED1 - 25V for driving White LED emitter string.

VLED2 - 12V for driving Green & Blue LED emitter strings, and supplying power source to LED driver
regulators (U2_AL1791 and U3_AL1793, Refer to the Key Component Section).

VLED3 - 8V for driving Red LED emitter string, and supplied to the asynchronous DC-DC buck converter
(AP3211) generate a constant voltage (3.3V) to drive wireless connectivity module.

in parallel strings. (refer to Appendix II - LED Engin LQ9 Emitter).
The Forward Voltage Drop (VF) per white emitter, with two 0.5W emitter dies in serial, is around 6.0V and the total
VF per emitter sting is 24.0V. The cathodes of emitter strings are attached to LED1 pin of AL1791. The choices of

 U2_AL1791 is for white LED driver, the REF (reference current setting resistor) is 16.5KΩ (R5_33KΩ and
R6_33KΩ two resistors parallel, in Figure 2.b) to regulate channel current around 350mA for AL1791 LED1.
 U3_AL1793 is for RGB LED strings driver, the REF is 8.57KΩ (R8_20KΩ and R9_15KΩ two resistors

SYSTEM DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS AND TRADE-OFFS
When design a production worthy SCL bulb, the system designers have many considerations:
1) Input Voltage Range
2) Power Factor (PF)
3) Efficiency
4) Standby Power
5) Start-Up Time
6) Thermal Management
While 4-ch W+RGB SCL bulb is designed for full range voltage input, system designs could optimize components
for single voltage application (e.g. 120V or 230V). For example, more cost-effective components could be used for
120V-only SCL bulb, including:
1) BD1 (DF06S)
2) Passive Valley Fill (PVF) Circuit: C4, C6, D1, D3 and D4 (see figure 8 below).

Figure 8 - Bridge and Valley Fill Circuit
AP3983C, with integrated MOSFET switch, has its advantages of supporting a cost-effective power board design.
The relative small ripple of output voltage for CVs of AP3983C (Vpeak-to-peak ripple < 2.9% of the CV of Emitter
Strings) is ideal to support linear Constant Current Regulation (CCR) based LED driver, such as AL1791 and
AL1793, with optimal voltage headroom for attached LED emitter strings.
Per Energy Star Compliance requirement, the Power Factor (PF) for over 5W light bulb need to be over 0.7. As the
AP3983C does not have built-in Active Power Factor circuitry, a PVF Circuit, consists of C4, C6. D1, D3 and D4 is
designed to achieve desired PF over 0.7. A high PF value could be achieved by using larger capacitors (C4 and
C6), however the trade-offs will be a longer start-up time, PCB space and cost. The system designers need to
select the right balance for the PF value and other considerations.
The system efficiency of 10W typical 4-ch W+RGB SCL bulb needs to be above 75% based on the proposed twostage designs. For the Power stage (first stage) efficiency, it is designed to achieve 85%. The factors impacting
power board efficiency include:
1) CV Output Voltage
2) Pre-loading circuit (D9, D10, D11, R4, R9, R11 and R12, see figure 2.a on page 3) to prevent spurious output
voltage at no load situation for one CV output, but sudden current is drawn by the other CV output.
3) Low VF Drop Super Barrier Rectifier (D6, D7 and D8, see figure 2.a on page 3).
While fixed-CCT on-off LED light bulb will have no power consumption when turned off at standby mode, a SCL
bulb consumes non-trivial standby power due to constant-on for wireless module connectivity. To save energy

consumed during the standby mode, it recommded to stay within 0.5W when in the standby mode for the entire
SCL bulb.

design, the standby power consumption is measured with estimated breakdown as
5 mW (EN of AL1791 and AL1793 are disabled).
50 mW (Pre-load circuitry power consumption)
50 mW (R5 and R6 are 1M/1206 resistor)
250 mW (UBEC M56 ZigBee Module standby current is 35mA)
50 mW (AP3983, Snubber and Switching Loss)
Improved Power Consumption Suggestion

Startup Circuit
For low-cost implementation, a simple start-up circuity is adopted (R5 and R6, see figure 2.a on page 3). Tradeoffs involved are start-up time (time when LED light could be turned on upon instruction to actual light output) and
standby power consumption. Increasing the value of resistance of R5 and R6, the standby power will decrease at
the expense of longer start-up time (Table 3).

Table 3 - Start-Up Resistor Circuit on Startup Time and Standby Power
An alternative quick dynamic startup circuit can be used to replace the resistor start-up circuit to shorten start-up
time without static standby power consumption (Figure 7). During the AC power initial input, Transistor Q1 is
turned ON to charge VCC input to AP3983C. Q1 will be shut off after initial start-up time until shut off by returning
path from the auxiliary winding when VCC is highter than one threshold voltage below 18V where the Zener diode
is clamped at.

Thermal Management Design Suggestion
Thermal management is a critical design consieration as it impacts safety and reliability of the SCL bulbs. Among
many good practices used in the power board design for managing thermal issues of SCL bulbs, system designers
also need to fine tune the CV output to compensate for VF fluctuation due to temperature effect. Depending on
thermal characteristics of emitters, VF drops around 5% to 10% range when temperature is increased from 25°C to
125°C. The proposed design is based on a low-cost open-loop CV fine tuning approach by adopting a Negative
Temperature Coeffient (NTC) resistor 10K (The Circuit is not shown). The VLED1 output of the 4-ch W+RGB SCL
bulb design is in the range of 25V down to 23.5V (-6%).
