Design analysis and practical guide to AC power LED lighting focusing on the design constraints and performance optimization in residential lighting with end-of-chapter exercises

Pitched at an intermediate level, Drivers for AC Power LED Lighting in CMOS provides everything needed for a comprehensive CMOS circuit design course in LED lighting. The text is accompanied by a range of analytic circuit design and simulation exercises.

A companion website includes ngspice simulation scripts of examples discussed, a solution manual to the end-of-chapter exercises, and PowerPoint slides for lecturers. Approximately 200 figures and tables are included throughout the text to aid in reader comprehension.

Drivers for AC Power LED Lighting in CMOS includes information on:

• Circuit analysis, analog electronics, and power electronics, and offline AC circuit design
• Switching mode LED drivers, and linear LED drivers that support direct AC sockets
• Domestic LED lighting, such as LED light bulbs and flood lights, and circuit design issues unique to offline AC power, and LED driver reliability issues
• UN Sustainable Development goals in energy efficient lighting systems and the design and implementation of LED drivers to fulfill GREEN lighting initiatives

Drivers for AC Power LED Lighting in CMOS is an excellent supporting text for a range of LED lighting courses and a helpful reference for practitioners wishing to learn more about this sustainable technology. Knowledge in SPICE circuit simulation is the only prerequisite to understand this book.
