12W dimmable LED driver suggestion
Posted by: Dhruvit Bhimani

Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for suggestions on a driver IC that can deliver 100 mA constant current as an offline LED driver.
My application is to build a non-isolated, low-cost 12W LED driver for a smart LED panel light. Ideally, the IC should:
- Support non-isolated offline topology
- Deliver constant current output of 100 mA
- Be capable of driving 9–12 LEDs in series (~9V, 100 mA per LED)
- If possible, support PWM dimming control (optional, but preferred)
The design is for a cost-sensitive smart light, so compact and minimal external components would be beneficial.
Appreciate your help!
Thanks,
Dhruvit

Hi Dhruvit,
One other option is the LytSwitch-0, I would recommend reviewing it if you are interested, please see resources on how to design at this link. It also includes some of the design that uses this device.

Hi Dhruvit,
I would recommend checking our LinkSwitch-TN2. Unfortunately, we do not have existing design for TN2 that implements constant-current.
However, we do have design guide, which help you design our LinkSwitch-TN2 in a constant current implementation for LED application, please see figure 11, page 13 of AN-70 design guide.
