5. Same LED configuration with the exception of additional driver ICs
5. Same LED configuration as in question 4 with the exception of additional driver ICs. What is a suitable power supply unit to use? First calculate for required voltage by combining total
LED forward voltage and driver voltage drop of 2V. LED forward voltage of each strip = 3.5V x 12pcs = 42V
Driver circuit required voltage = 42V + 2V = 44V
LED total current requirement = 0.7A X 4 strips in parallel = 2.8A
Driver circuit required wattage = 44V X 2.8A = 123.2W
LED power supply's rated voltage/power should be greater than what is required but should be as close to the actual requirement as possible.
Use 48V/150W as the basic criteria to pick LED power supply then make sure actual voltage/power usage meets constant current region and PF>0.9 specifications (123.2W /150W = 82.13% >75%)
CLG-150A-48 with output voltage set at 44V can be used in this design.
