LED50W-015-C3330

LED50W-015-C3330 is an example of an LED driver among other LED driver technologies available in the market today. The product is manufactured by Cree LED Solutions, a leading provider of LED lighting and LED driver solutions whose mission is to light the world in more intelligent, energy conscious ways. LED50W-015-C3330 is designed specifically for use in high power lighting applications and is suitable for driving up to 50W of LED power. It features a wide-range operating input voltage range, allowing for flexibility in its application and efficient operation in various low voltage mains systems across different regions.LED50W-015-C3330 technology utilizes a step down topology for efficient regulation of LED current with a choice of 6 fixed current settings from 350mA to 1000mA. An internal logic circuit senses when the current setting is exceeded and shuts down the supply immediately. The device features a wide operating ambient temperature range from -40°C to +90°C, which makes it suitable for use in a variety of indoor and outdoor conditions. It also has a carefully tuned thermal protection circuit that reduces the output power when internal temperatures exceed the safety levels, to further protect the LEDs from potential damage.High efficiency of the LED50W-015-C3330 is achieved through its built-in active power factor correction (PFC) feature. Active PFC ensures that the real power drawn from the mains is accurately balanced with the reactive power drawn by the system. This means the device can utilize up to 95% of the energy it draws from the mains, leading to greatly improved efficiency compared to traditional drivers. The ultra-compact design allows the device to fit into most luminaires, making it the ideal choice for high power LED lighting applications.An important advantage of the LED50W-015-C3330 is its ability to reduce flicker, providing improved visual comfort for people who are exposed to LED lighting. This technology implements a low-frequency ripple current, also known as low-ripple current technology, in which a simulated AC current is superimposed on the output to reduce flicker perceived by the human eye. The combination of the device’s PFC and low-ripple current technologies ensures a visibly flicker-free light source at all times.The working principle of the LED50W-015-C3330 is based on the principle of current-mode buck controllers, in which the output current is regulated by sensing the voltage drop on an inductor. The device features a wide bus range and switching frequency, as well as adjustable frequency synchronization with an external clock source to ensure the best performance and compatibility under various conditions. The device also offers flexible output voltage settings, allowing it to be optimized according to the requirements of different types of LEDs.LED50W-015-C3330 is the ideal choice for applications such as decorative and outdoor lighting, as well as industrial and office lighting. With its wide operating temperature range and active PFC, the device is well suited for use in a wide range of applications and offers a cost effective solution for high power LED lighting.
