There are four main switch mode driver topologies used for LED systems: buck, boost, buck-boost, and flyback. Switch mode drivers are more efficient than discrete component or linear drivers. The presentation discusses the operation and advantages of each topology, including examples of driver ICs in each configuration. SEPIC configuration can regulate output voltage even when input voltage is higher or lower than output. Flyback topology allows for single or multiple outputs and is the most versatile.

In this presentation on LED System Introduction we will look at individual system components. A basic LED system consists of an LED, potentially an LED optic, a thermal system and an LED driver. Learn how to decide on an LED type and the number of LEDs per system.
An LED is a device that emits light when electrically biased. Similar to any electronic component, LEDs also have electrical parameters that need to be taken into consideration when designed into a system.
When light encounters a surface, or travels from one media to another, several interactions are possible. For general lighting, we are typically interested in reflection, transmission, refraction, total internal reflection (which is really a special case of refraction), and absorption.
This document discusses the thermal characteristics of LEDs. It shows that as the junction temperature of an LED increases, its light output decreases, forward voltage drops, color shifts to lower wavelengths, and maximum ratings can be exceeded. The document emphasizes that LED specifications are based on standardized testing conditions, while actual applications may have different thermal environments, so temperature effects must be considered in design.
In this presentation on LED Basics we will look at a few topics in semiconductor lighting such as light generation from a semiconductor material, LED chip technology, structure of an LED, creating white light in an LED package and finally some definitions of CCT and CRI.

In linear regulators, the difference between the input and output voltages is burned as

is produced. With linear regulators, there are cases in which more energy is wasted as heat

14. Shortcoming of Boost Mode Operation
In a boost topology, the input is less than the output. However, what will happen if the input
goes above the output?
Due to circuit arrangement in a boost topology, there will be current flow (shown in red)
when input goes higher than the output and the output will not be regulated. This may
cause damage to the load and should be prevented.
In a situation similar to the
above, the SEPIC configuration

is higher or lower than the

Fly back topology is the most versatile because it can have single or multiple outputs.
A single output configuration is shown below.

22. Continuous and Discontinuous Conduction Modes
(CCM/ DCM)
Irrespective of all different topologies explained, there are two conduction modes of operations at
p p g p , p
which any of the topologies can operate.
A continuous conduction mode is when the inductor current never reaches zero between on and off
cycles of the switch, where as i a di
l f th it h h in discontinuous mode of operation th i d t current can reach
ti d f ti the inductor t h
zero.
There are advantages and disadvantages of each mode For more information on each mode please

23. Summary
There are four different switch mode driver topologies that are widely used:
Buck, Boost, Buck-Boost, and Fly back
All of the topologies can be operated in Continuous or Discontinuous mode (CCM/
DCM).
SEPIC can be considered a variation of Boost configuration.
