SSL2101 12 W LED driver
1. Introduction
The SSL2101 12 W LED driver is a solution for a professional application with multiple
high power LEDs that requires galvanic isolation and a safe output voltage. It is mains
dimmable for both forward phase (triac) dimmers, and reverse phase (transistor)
dimmers. It can generate up to 16 W output power, which is equal to a 100 W
incandescent lamp (at 63 Lumen/W). Examples are shelf lighting, down lighting, LED
lighting for bathrooms etc.The design gives an example of how to make a drive that is
suitable for small form factor applications like retrofit lamps.
2. Safety warning
The board needs to be connected to mains voltage. Touching the reference board during
operation must be avoided at all times. An isolated housing is obligatory when used in
uncontrolled, non-laboratory environments. Even though the secondary circuit with LED
connection has a galvanic isolation, this isolation is not according to any regulated norm.
Galvanic isolation of the mains supply using a variable transformer is always
recommended. These devices can be recognized by the symbols shown in Figure 1:
3. Connecting the board
The board can be optimized for a 230 V (AC) (50 Hz) or for a 120 V (AC) (60 Hz) mains
supply. Besides the mains voltage optimization, the board is designed to work with
multiple high power LEDs with a total working voltage of between 9 V and 23 V. The
output current can be limited using trimmer R20. On request, a dedicated LED load can
be delivered that is to be connected to K3. Connector K2 can be used to attach other LED
loads. The output voltage is limited to 25 V. When attaching a LED load to an operational
board (hot plugging) an inrush peak current will occur due to discharge of capacitor C6.
After frequent discharges, the LEDs may deteriorate or become damaged.

SSL2101 12 W LED driver
If a galvanic isolated transformer is used, it should be placed in between the AC source
and the dimmer/demo board. Connect a user defined LED (string) to the connector K2 as
shown in Figure 2. Note that the anode of the LED (string) is connected to the bottom side
of this connector.
Remark: When the board is placed in a metal enclosure, the middle pin of connector K1
can be connected to the metal casing for grounding.

7. Functional description
The IC both controls and drives the flyback converter part, and it ensures proper dimmer
operation. Several high voltage switches are integrated in the IC. One of these controls
the flyback input power, and is situated between the DRAIN and SOURCE pins. On
closing, a current will start to run, which stores energy in the transformer TX1. The switch
is opened when the duty factor has exceeded the level set by the PWMLIMIT pin, with a
maximum of 75 %, or when the voltage on the SOURCE pin exceeds 0.5 V. Following
this, the energy stored in the transformer is discharged to D6 and the output capacitors C5
and C6, and finally absorbed by the load. The converter frequency is set with an internal
oscillator, the timing of which is controlled by external RC components on pins RC and
RC2. By varying the BRIGHTNESS pin voltage, the oscillator frequency can be modulated
to an upper and lower value. The ratio between R15 and R16 sets the frequency variation.
The two other switches are called the weak bleeder (pin WBLEED), and the strong
bleeder (pin SBLEED). When the voltage on both these pins is below a certain value
(typical 52 V) the SBLEED switch closes, providing a current path that loads the dimmer

these pins is above 52 V, and the voltage on the ISENS pin is above -100 mV, the weak

bleeder switch closes. Using Q3, this current is boosted and provides a current path that
loads the dimmer when the converter draws insufficient current to have the dimmer
latching stable. Whilst the strong bleeder will always switch, the weak-bleeder will not
activate until the output power drops below 8 W. This happens when the LEDs are
dimmed, or when the maximum LED power is tuned below 8 W. See Figure 6 and
Figure 7 that show bleeder voltage versus time in dimmed and un-dimmed position (low
voltage = active):

SSL2101 12 W LED driver
This board is optimized to work with a power factor above 0.9. In order to achieve this, the
converter operates at constant ton mode. The output power of the converter is buffered by
capacitor C6. Due to this configuration, the circuit has a resistive input current behavior in
un-dimmed operation (see Input in Figure 7). In dimmed operation however, not only the
dimmer latch and hold current must be maintained, but a damper must be added to
dampen the inrush current and to dissipate the electric power that was stored in the LC
filter within the dimmer. Though at low power ranges (< 10 W) a serial resistor can be
used for this, at higher power ranges a single series resistor is not efficient because the
converter supply current will cause significant voltage drop and thus dissipation through
this resistor. On the demonstration board, a combination of serial resistance and a parallel
damper has been chosen to improve efficiency. The serial resistor is made up of F1, R1,
R2 and R12. The parallel damper is made of C2 and R3. See Figure 8.
The input circuit of the converter must be equipped with a filter that is partially capacitive.
The combination of C1, L1, L2, C3 and C4 makes a filter that blocks most of the
disturbance generated by the converter input current. A drawback of this filter is a
reduction of power factor, due to the capacitive load. A lower converter power in relation to
the capacitive value of this filter/buffer will cause a lower power factor. At the 230 V (AC)
design using 150 nF capacitors, a power factor of 0.9 is reached at 11 W output power.
The board is equipped with a feedback loop that limits the output current. This feedback
loop senses the LED current over sense resistor R18 and a current mirror is used,
consisting of Q1/Q2. Using R20, the current level can be set. The same feedback loop is
also used for overvoltage protection. If the LED voltage exceeds 23 V, a current through
R19 and D9 will start flowing. The current through the opto-coupler IC2 will pull down the
PWMLIMIT and BRIGHTNESS pin. At a value below 400 mV, the “on”-time is zero. The
feedback loop has proportional action only, and the gain is critical because of phase shift
caused by the converter and C6. The relation between PWMLIMIT and output current is
quadratic in nature. The resulting output current spread will be acceptable for most LED
applications.
The dimming range is detected by sensing the average rectified voltage. R4, R5 and R17
make a voltage divider, and C9 filters the resulting signal. The converter sets its duty
factor and converter frequency accordingly.
8. Board optimization
The following modifications can be done in order to meet different customer application
requirements:
8.1 Changing the output voltage and LED current
Compared to other topologies a flyback converter has the major advantage, is that it is
suitable for driving a broader range of output voltages. Essentiality, changing the turns
ratio whilst maintaining the value of the primary inductance, will shift the output working
voltage accordingly. Part of the efficiency of the driver is linked to the output voltage. A
lower output voltage will increase the transformation ratio, and cause higher secondary
losses. In practice, a mains dimmable flyback converter will have an efficiency between
80 % for high output voltages (like 60 V) down to 50 % for low output voltages (like 3 V).
At low voltages, synchronous rectification might become advisable to reduce losses. The

NXP TEA1791 can be applied for this purpose. For exact calculations of transformer
properties and peak current, refer to application note AN10754, “SSL2101 dimmable
mains LED driver”, and the calculation tool that goes with it.
8.2 Changing the output ripple current
The LED voltage, the LED dynamic resistance and the output capacitor principally
determine the output current ripple. The value of C6 has been chosen to optimize
capacitor size with light output. A ripple of ± 25 % will result in an expected deterioration of
light output < 1 %.
The size for the buffer capacitor can be estimated from the following equation
As example: For a ripple current of ± 5%, and a mains frequency of 50 Hz, and a dynamic
resistance of 0.6 Ω, C6 has to be 20 ÷ (300 × 0.6) = 111 mF. For a ripple current of 25 %
and a dynamic resistance of 6 Ω, 4 ÷ (300 × 6) = 2200 μF. Using a series of LEDs, the
dynamic resistance of each LED can be added to the total dynamic resistance.
8.3 Adapting to high power reverse phase (transistor) dimmers.
Reverse phase (transistor) dimmers differ in two ways that can be beneficial but can also
cause problems with dimming detection:
• The negative phase-cut (trailing edge) causes no inrush current when the dimmer
triggers. At triac dimmers, there will be a sudden voltage difference over the input
leading to a steep charge of the input capacitors. The resulting peak current will lead
to higher damper dissipation. Because this steep charge is missing, the input
capacitors will have less stress, and the input circuit is less prone to audible noise.
• Transistor dimmers contain active circuitry that require a load charge during the time
that the dimmer is open. The dimensioning of the circuit generating the internal supply
voltage inside the dimmer is made critical in order to avoid excessive internal dimmer
losses. This means that the remaining voltage drop over the lamp must be low
enough to reach this charge. For dimmers like the Busch-Jaeger 6519U, the minimum
lamp load is specified at 40 W which is equivalent to a 1.3 kΩ resistor load at
230 V(AC). Such a load would result in highly inefficient operation at low output power
levels, since most energy is wasted in order to drive the dimmer, and not to produce
light.
On the demo board, the weak bleeder value R6/R7 is chosen to minimize losses (about
2 W to 3 W). The weak bleeder normally only switches “on” during dimmed operation. The
voltage drop with some transistor dimmers is however not sufficient to cause full dimming
range control (minimum 10 % instead of < 1 %), because in this application, the average
rectified voltage is used to determine the dimming position. To compensate for the
reduced voltage difference, voltage detection can be made more sensitive by replacing
R4 with a Zener diode, like the BZV85-C200 for 230 V (AC), or the BZV85-C68 for
120 V (AC) applications. Because of increased sensitivity, the dimming curve will also be
steeper when using triac dimmers.

8.4 Changing the load curve
The load curve can be divided into two regions: A part where the control loop limits the
duty cycle of the converter, and where the output current is regulated, and a part where
the duty factor feedback is not dominant anymore. This last part occurs at output voltages
below 13 V. In this area, constant output power becomes the dominant control
mechanism. Changing the turns ratio of the transformer to match the output load will also
change this load curve.
8.5 Multiple driver support
It is possible to attach multiple converters to a single dimmer. At the use of triac dimmers
the inrush current will rise, though not proportionally to the number of converters.
Transistor dimmers are more suitable for usage with multiple converters because the
dimming range will increase due to the added bleeder action, and there is no inrush
current.
