MR16 LED Bulb Reference Design  

National recognizes the challenges of designing MR16 LED lamp power solutions:

  • Compatibility concerns with ELVT and ELV dimmers for retrofit applications
    • Minimum load requirement for ELVT
    • Smooth, flicker-free operation
  • Small form factor
  • Thermal concerns

Our MR16 LED reference circuits:

  • Efficiently meet the minimum load requirement of the ELVT, thus avoiding start/stop cycles within the transformer. This avoids visible flicker in the lamp.
  • Avoid large current spikes into the SSL lamp and ELVT
