SSL5231T Mains dimmable buck-boost LED driver IC Rev. 3 11 March 2015 Product data sheet 1. General description The SSL5231T is a highly integrated, high-precision dimmable controller with an external MOSFET. It is intended to drive LED lamps in dimmable lighting applications up to 25 W. The SSL5231T is designed for high power factor, phase-dimmable applications. The SSL5231T operates in Boundary Conduction Mode (BCM) with constant on-time control. It provides a constant output current control with good LED output current accuracy. Adaptive switching frequency gives freedom to choose the inductor, which enables the optimization of inductor size, efficiency and EMI. The SSL5231T can start up and operate in switching mode directly from an external resistor without capacitor charge pump supply or auxiliary supply. This feature simplifies the V supply. So, a low-cost off-the-shelf inductor can be used, which provides flexibility CC in application design. 2.
