AN-2061 LM3445 A19 Edison Retrofit Evaluation Board
1
Introduction
The evaluation board included in this shipment converts 85VAC to 135VAC input and drives five to thirteen
series connected LED’s at the currents listed in the Evaluation Board Operating Conditions section. This is
a two-layer board using the bottom and top layer for component placement. The board is surrounded by a
larger area allowing for extra test points and connectors for ease of evaluation. The actual board size is
contained inside the larger outer area and can be cut out for the smallest size possible. The evaluation
board can be modified to adjust the LED forward current and the number of series connected LEDs. The
topology used for this evaluation board eliminates the need for passive power factor correction and results
in high efficiency and power factor with minimal component count which results in a size that can fit in a
standard A19 Edison socket. This board also operates correctly and dims smoothly using most standard
triac dimmers. Output current is regulated within ±15% of nominal from circuit to circuit and over line
voltage variation. For details on the LM3445 IC, see the LM3445 Triac Dimmable Offline LED Driver Data
Sheet (SNVS570).
A bill of materials shown in Table 2 describes the parts used on this demonstration board. A schematic
and layout have also been included along with measured performance characteristics including EMI/EMC
data. The above restrictions for the input voltage are valid only for the demonstration board as shipped
with the schematic below. for detailed information regarding the LM3445 device, see the LM3445 Triac
Dimmable Offline LED Driver Data Sheet (SNVS570). The board is currently set up to drive five to thirteen
series connected LEDs, but the evaluation board may be modified to accept more series LEDs. Refer to
the tables in this document to modify the board to accept more LEDs and/or adjust for different current
levels.

WARNING
The LM3445 evaluation boards have no isolation or any type of
protection from shock. Caution must be taken when handling
evaluation board. Avoid touching evaluation board, and removing
any cables while evaluation board is operating. Isolating the
evaluation board rather than the oscilloscope is highly
recommended.
WARNING
This LM3445 evaluation PCB is a non-isolated design. The ground
connection on the evaluation board is NOT referenced to earth
ground. If an oscilloscope ground lead is connected to the
evaluation board ground test point for analysis, and AC power is
applied, the fuse (F1) will fail open. The oscilloscope should be
powered via an isolation transformer before an oscilloscope
ground lead is connected to the evaluation board.

C4/RBLDR is a dual purpose pad which is unpopulated by default. A ceramic capacitor (C4) may be used here if extra high frequency
bypassing is desired across the LED load. Alternatively a bleeder resistor (RBLDR) in the range of 10kΩ to 100kΩ may be placed here to
quickly discharge C3 and prevent prolonged LED glow due to the energy stored in C3.
