LED Bulbs and Downlight Solutions

TI recognizes the challenges of designing MR16 LED lamp power solutions:

• Compatibility concerns with ELVT and ELV dimmers for retrofit applications
  • Minimum load requirement for ELVT
  • Smooth, flicker-free operation
• Small form factor
• Thermal concerns

Our MR16 LED reference circuits:

• Efficiently meet the minimum load requirement of the ELVT, thus avoiding start/stop cycles within the transformer. This avoids visible flicker in the lamp.
• Avoid large current spikes into the SSL lamp and ELVT
