Description
The LM3445 Valley Fill EVM implements a dimming solution using the LM3445 integrated circuit from TI.
The LM3445 is an adaptive constant off-time AC/DC buck constant current controller with built-in phasedimming decoder. Line cycles are analyzed continuously by an internal low-power digital controller for
shape and symmetry. An analog current reference is then generated and used by the power converter
stage to regulate the output current. The analog reference is manipulated using control algorithms
developed to optimize dimmer compatibility, power factor, and THD. Using constant off-time control, the
solution achieves low part count, high efficiency, and inherently provides variation in the switching
frequency. This variation creates an emulated spread spectrum effect easing the converters' EMI
signature and allowing a smaller input filter.
