Abstract
Lighting has become the predominant factor towards the productivity of workforces and this has led the way to increase the deployment of energy-efficient light-emitting diodes (LEDs). In this paper, a multi-configurable transformer-less DC-DC series loaded resonant converter (SLRC) based LED driver is proposed to afford input voltage at wide range for lighting applications. The converter proposed has switched inductors for boosting the input voltage and SLRC. This multi-configured resonant converter is operated as boost capable full-bridge SLRC (BFBSLRC), boost capable half-bridge SLRC (BHBSLRC), full-bridge SLRC (FBSLRC), and half-bridge SLRC (HBSLRC) topologies. The advantage of the proposed converter is its soft-switching ability across all the switches for a wide-input voltage range to produce constant output voltage using the reconfigurable converter. The analysis of the proposed converter is presented and its performance is validated using MATLAB simulation for a wide-input voltage range of 10V to 240V.
