Adding Intelligence to Lighting Applications
Driving LEDs with a SEPIC Regulator
The Single-Ended Primary Inductance Converter (SEPIC) regulator topology uses an additional inductor, but provides the following advantages for battery powered applications:
• The converter can buck or boost as the input voltage changes.
• The circuit topology provides inherent short-circuit protection due to the use of a coupling capacitor.
