A ZV-ZCS Electrolytic Capacitor less

AC/DC Isolated LED Driver with
Continuous Energy Regulation
Introduction:
Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting becomes the most
environmental friendly and popular light source due to its superior
features: 1) Long life time up to 100,000 hours of operation. 2) Low
wattage light source with high luminous efficacy. 3) It can emit
different kind of colours depending on the kind of semiconductor
material. Based on the ENERGY STAR requirements for solid-state
lighting, the luminaires power factor should be greater than 0.9 for
commercial usage and 0.7 for residential usage. Power supplies that
utilize switch-mode operation are essentially nonlinear loads, which
cause harmonics and distortion to the input current. A phase shift
between the line current and voltage can also be resulted due to the
reactive component in the circuit. LED drivers are classified into
passive and switched mode driver. The passive type uses only passive
circuit components, which suffers from heavy weight, bulky size and
poor efficiency. Switched mode drivers, on the other hand, are widely
used currently due to the fact that the passive components can be
significantly reduced by increasing the switching frequency of the
driver.

Existing system:
Conventional AC/DC LED drivers require a large energy
storage capacitor at the output to provide a constant current to the
LEDs. LED drivers are classified into passive and switched mode
driver. The passive type uses only passive circuit components, which

suffers from heavy weight, bulky size and poor efficiency. Switched
mode drivers, on the other hand, are widely used currently due to the
fact that the passive components can be significantly reduced by
increasing the switching frequency of the driver. Switched mode
driver can be classified into: (1) single stage, (2) two stage circuit. By
employing the two-stage solution, a high power factor LED driver
with precisely regulated output current and the possibility of
eliminating the electrolytic capacitor can be resulted. However,
increasing the number of power processing stages means that more
components are required in the overall circuit, which will result in a
large size and high cost system. Another drawback with the existing
LED drivers is the presence of the switching power losses. In order to
design a compact and small size LED driver, the switching power
losses should be minimized.

Drawbacks:
Increasing the number of power processing stages means that
more components are required in the overall circuit
Large size and high cost system
The presence of the switching power losses

Proposed system:
AC/DC LED driver requires power factor correction (PFC)
circuit to comply with the ENERGY STAR power factor
requirements. The driver shall also consist of a DC current regulator
to provide constant DC output current. The proposed circuit is a
single stage power conversion unit that integrates the discontinuous
conduction mode (DCM) boost converter as a power factor correction
(PFC) circuit, and the asymmetrical pulse width modulated (APWM)
series resonant converter as DC output regulation as shown Figure.
The APWM series resonant converter was used to achieve soft
switching operation so that high frequency switching operation can be
realized without affecting the driver efficiency. By operating the
proposed driver circuit at high switching frequency, the reactive
components size and cost can be substantially reduced.

Advantages:
Very high power efficiency using energy regulation across the
DC-link capacitor
The reactive components size and cost can be substantially
reduced.
