Light-emitting diode lighting system with the proposed pseudo-sine-current controller removes most of the external passive components, which include inductor, electrolytic capacitor, freewheel diode, blocking diode, and the bleeding circuit for Triac dimming control, for low cost and small volume. Delay-lock loop control can ensure the in-phase operation of ac input voltage and current for high power factor (PF) and low total harmonic distortion (THD). In addition, redundant power loss in Triac dimming control is eliminated to get a high efficiency of 85%. Furthermore, a high PF of 0.997 and a low THD of 7.74% are also achieved owing to in-phase line voltage and current.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
