O2Micro Introduces LED Driver Controller for Single-SKU, Global LED Bulbs

O2Micro International Limited extended its general lighting product portfolio with the introduction of the OZ8022VM LED driver controller. The OZ8022VM is designed to address the high-volume, non-dimming incandescent bulb replacement market, which includes PAR lamps, A bulbs and BR bulbs.

The OZ8022VM supports universal 85Vac to 265Vac operation, enabling a single LED bulb to address the global marketplace, reducing SKUs and increasing operational efficiencies resulting from economy of scale. LED current regulation and accuracy over the entire universal input range ensures consistent lumen output globally, regardless of varying line input conditions.

The OZ8022VM features a built-in, high-voltage power MOSFET in a cost-effective, small footprint, 8-pin SOP package. The high integration enables a low BOM count and resulting low cost at the system BOM level, as well as compact design, accommodating space-constrained applications.

Integrated power factor correction ensures high power factor (>0.9 over the universal 85-265Vac input range) and low THD ( <20%), enabling bulbs that incorporate the OZ8022VM to meet worldwide residential and commercial requirements and regulations, such as EPA Energy Star. Efficiency of greater than 88% is maintained across the entire universal voltage range, reducing energy consumption and simplifying thermal management. During light-load conditions, minimum off-time control maximizes operating efficiency. Low start-up current and operation current also maximize conversion efficiency.

The OZ8022VM is designed for non-isolated buck converter applications, utilizing quasi-resonant conversion technology. The OZ8022VM features fast turn-on to meet end-user expectations. Integrated over-temperature, over-voltage, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, LED open circuit and LED short circuit protection, with auto-recovery, provide safe and reliable operation.

The OZ8022VM is available in a cost-effective 8-pin SOP package and is in high volume production now. Samples and evaluation boards are available now for qualified customers.
