A NON-ISOLATED DRIVER FOR LED LIGHTING

A non-isolated LED driver has a converter which delivers first and second outputs. A sense circuit is coupled to both the first output and the second output, between the converter and an LED unit. The currents at the first output and the second output are compared to obtain a difference therebetween...

Zusammenfassung:A non-isolated LED driver has a converter which delivers first and second outputs. A sense circuit is coupled to both the first output and the second output, between the converter and an LED unit. The currents at the first output and the second output are compared to obtain a difference therebetween, and a leakage fault is determined based on an alternating current component of the difference. This avoids the need for an isolated driver, by instead detecting a leakage fault and then taking appropriate safety actions.
