An Overview of LED Drivers
LED drivers refer to the power adjustment electronic device that drives LED to emit light or LED module components to work normally. Due to the conduction characteristics of LED PN junction, the voltage and current variation range of the power supply that it can adapt to is very narrow. A slight deviation may fail to light up the LED seriously reduce the luminous efficiency, shorten the service life, or even burn the chip. The current industrial frequency power supply and common battery power supply are not suitable for direct supply to LED. LED driver is an electronic component that can drive LED to work under the optimal voltage or current state.
The Features of LED Drivers
LED drivers have versatile features of the following, including LED open/short detection, open-circuit protection, Dimming function, Low noise performance, High efficiency, Thermal shutdown & thermal foldback, Overload protection & Over voltage protection, and more.
How do LED Drivers work?
When the temperature of an LED changes, its forward voltage requirements change as well. As it gets hotter, less voltage is needed to move current through the LED, so it uses more power. Thermal runaway is when the temperature rises out of control and burns out the LED. The power output level of LED drivers is designed to match the needs of the LED. The LED drivers' constant current keeps the temperature stable by responding to changes in forward voltage.
