General Description
The AP1681 is a powerful high performance AC/DC
power supply controller for dimmable LED lighting
applications. The device uses Pulse Frequency
Modulation (PFM) technology to regulate output
current according to the wall dimmer conduct angle.
The AP1681 achieves wide dimming range without
visible flicker and is compatible with diverse
dimmers.
The AP1681 features low start-up current, low
operation current and high efficiency. It also has rich
protection functions including over voltage, short
circuit, over current and over temperature protections.
The AP1681 is available in SOIC-8 package.
