Description
The STEVAL-ILL041V1 demonstration board 
implements an LED driver that meets the present 
requirements for the US market. 
The STEVAL-ILL041V1 utilizes ST’s L6564 power 
factor controller in an unconventional circuit to 
regulate the input power to a step-down switching 
regulator. The circuit also compensates for 
variations in LED voltage drop, to maintain the 
average output current in a tight band over a wide 
range of line voltage and LED characteristics. 
While the input current waveform is not perfectly 
sinusoidal, power factor and harmonic content are 
well within the requirements for the US 
commercial market. 
The form factor was designed to fit into the PAR38 
envelope and the driver and LEDs can be used to 
replace 65 W incandescent flood lamps.
