1w, 4w, 6w, 10w, 12w LED Driver Circuit SMPS

Last Updated on November 17, 2024 by Admin 48 Comments

Right here we research a very easy 120V/220V smps LED driver circuit that can be used for driving high watt LEDs rated any place between 1 watt to 12 watts instantly from any domestic AC mains outlet.

4 to 12 watt smps led driver circuit
The offered smps LED driver circuit is exceedingly adaptable and in particular fitted to driving high watt LEDs, in spite of this being a non-isolated topology does not give safety from electric shocks at the LED side of the circuit.

Aside from the above disadvantage, the circuit is perfect and is practically guarded from all feasible mains surge related hazards.

Even though a non-isolated configuration may appear a little unwanted, it reduces the constructor from winding complex primary/secondary sections on E-cores, since the transformer here is restored with a few easy ferrite drum type of chokes.

The main element here to blame for the performance of all the capabilities is the IC VIPer22A from ST microelectronics, which has already been specifically made for such small transformerless compact converter applications.

 

4 to 12 watt smps led driver circuit (1)

The circuit working of this 1 watt to 12watt LED driver may be known as presented under:

The input mains 220V or 120V AC is half wave repaired by D1 and C1.
C1 together with the inductor L0 and C2 make up a pie filter network for cacelling EMI disturbenaces.
D1 ought to be ideally changed to two diodes in series for preserving the 2kv spikes bursts genareated by C1 and C2.
R10 guarantees some level of surge security and works similar to a fuse throughout catatrophic circumstances.
As may be seen in the above circuit diagram, the voltage acroiss C2 is aplied to the interal mosfet drain of the IC at pin5 to pin8.
An inbuilt continuous current source of the VIPer IC provides a 1mA current to pin4 of the IC which is the Vdd pin of the IC.
At about 14.5V at Vdd, the curent sources gets turned OFF and causes the IC circuitry into an oscillatory mode or initiates pulsing of the IC.
The parts Dz, C4 and D8 turn out to be the circuit regulation network, where D8 charges C4 to the peak voltage in the freewheeling period and when D5 is forward one-sided.
Throughout the above measures, the source or the referance of the IC is set to about 1V below ground.

For an extensive info regarding the circuit information of the 1 watt to 12 watt LED driver, make sure you undergo the following pdf document offered by ST microelectronics.

WARNING: PLEASE ADD A SMALL PIECE OF HEATSINK WITH THE IC, OTHERWISE THE LEDS WILL START FLASHING ON/OFF RAPIDLY AS SOON AS THE IC BECOMES TOO HOT...THEREFORE MAKE SURE THE IC IS NOT ALLOWED TO BECOME HOT, BY ADDING A SUITABLE HEATSINK.

      Abhijit, you can easily buy this from big electronic retail shops, or online also. There’s no equivalent for this….a different equivalent is there in the form of TNY267 IC, but the circuit is different

    + 1W POWER LED MOUNTED ON SUITABLE HEATSINK
    3) ISOLATED OUTPUT / AND SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTED
    WHAT cost i can get the assembled pcb ? who can supply ? ( I AM FROM PUNE , IS IT POSSIBLE TO MEET – I HAVE SOME IDEA TO BE TRIED (which can be cost effective / remote control led/ intensity control and color / control //easy to repair or modular construction — in my opinion
    CAN I GET FEW FOR TRIALS ?

      the voltage can be increased upto 40V, you can connect series LEDs and get wattage output upto 40 x 0.3 = 12 watts…but current cannot be increased

      output wattage can be changed by increasing the output voltage which can be done by increasing the zener diode value DZ1, this will allow you to put more number of 1 watt LEDs in series and increase the output power

    How do you get around the eletric shock issue. Isn’t there anything that you could do about that?

    Reply
    • admin says

      May 22, 2017 at 7:52 am

      It is a non-isolated design and therefore danger of shock will be there, however since the entire unit along with the LeDs would be enclosed inside a plastic box, the user would be safe from any kind of electric shocks..
