The CL88030/31 devices are designed to drive a long string of inexpensive, low-current LEDs directly from the AC mains. A basic driver circuit consists of Microchip’s CL88030/31 LED driver IC, four power FETs (six if using the CL88031), four resistors, two capacitors, and a bridge rectifier. Additional components are optional for various levels of transient protection. Adding an inexpensive NTC-thermistor assures over temperature protection (OTP). No EMI filters or power factor correction circuits are needed (unless the optional flicker-reduction feature is desired).
