Abstract

Over the last years there has been a constant increase in the number of Light Emitting Diodes (LED) applications because of their small size and high luminous efficacy. In order to fully benefit from the improvements in LED technology, the driver also plays an important role in the total system efficacy. The present paper covers the design, fabrication and testing of a high efficiency 30W tapped-inductor buck converter especially suited for use in luminaires employing LED arrays..
