Model Encoding

The model number is structured to indicate key features:

IDLV - 65 A - XX

Where:

• IDLV - 65: Series name and rated wattage (65W)
• A: Indicates function options (e.g., 'A' for Auxiliary DC output)
• XX: Represents the rated output voltage (e.g., 12, 24, 36, 48, 60V)

Specifications

Note:

• 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated current and 25°C of ambient temperature.
• 2. De-rating may be needed under low input voltages. Please refer to "STATIC CHARACTERISTIC" sections for details.
• 3. Length of set up time is measured at cold first start. Turning ON/OFF the driver may lead to increase of the set up time.
• 4. Aux. 12V will be damaged with short circuit; It will not be available with dimming off or output no load condition.
• 5. The driver is considered as a component that will be operated in combination with final equipment. Since EMC performance will be affected by the complete installation, the final equipment manufacturers must re-qualify EMC Directive on the complete installation again.
• 6. The ambient temperature derating of 3.5°C/1000m with fanless models and of 5°C/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than 2000m(6500ft).

Dimming Operation

PWM Style Dimming

Dimming is achieved by varying the duty cycle of the output current.

The duty cycle is calculated as: Duty cycle(%) = (TON / T) × 100%

Output PWM frequency: 1KHz (±20%)

[Diagram Description: A visual representation shows an output DC current waveform. The waveform is ON for a duration 'TON' and OFF for a duration 'TOFF', repeating over a period 'T'. The current is 0A when OFF.]

2 in 1 Dimming Function

Additive 0 ~ 10VDC

This function uses an additive voltage input for dimming.

[Diagram Description: A circuit diagram shows connections for Vo+, Vo-, DIM+, and DIM-. An 'Additive Voltage' source is depicted, connected to DIM+ and DIM-. A note states: "DO NOT connect 'DIM-' to Vo-".]

[Graph Description: A line graph titled "Dimming input: Additive voltage". The X-axis represents 'Dimming input voltage' from 0V to 10V. The Y-axis represents 'Duty cycle of output current (%)' from 0% to 100%. The line shows a direct linear relationship: 0V input corresponds to 0% duty cycle, and 10V input corresponds to 100% duty cycle.]

Additive 10V PWM Signal

This function uses an additive 10V PWM signal for dimming, with a frequency range of 300Hz~3KHz.

[Diagram Description: A circuit diagram shows connections for Vo+, Vo-, DIM+, and DIM-. An 'Additive PWM signal' source is depicted, connected to DIM+ and DIM-. A note states: "DO NOT connect 'DIM-' to Vo-".]

[Graph Description: A line graph titled "Duty cycle of additive 10V PWM signal dimming input". The X-axis represents 'Duty cycle of additive 10V PWM signal' from 0% to 100%. The Y-axis represents 'Duty cycle of output current (%)' from 0% to 100%. The line shows a direct linear relationship: 0% input duty cycle corresponds to 0% output duty cycle, and 100% input duty cycle corresponds to 100% output duty cycle.]

Note:

• 1. Minimum duty cycle of output current is approximately 8%; output current is undefined when 0% < Iout < 8%.
• 2. The duty cycle of output current can drop to 0% when the dimming input is about 0Vdc or a 10V PWM signal with 0% duty cycle.
• 3. To ensure the dimming effect, the total power must be over 45W at 100% duty cycle.

Performance Characteristics

Output Load vs Temperature

[Graph Description: Two graphs illustrate load derating based on temperature. The left graph shows 'LOAD (%)' on the Y-axis versus 'AMBIENT TEMPERATURE, Ta (°C)' on the X-axis, ranging from -20°C to 40°C. The right graph shows 'LOAD (%)' on the Y-axis versus 'Tcase (°C)' on the X-axis, ranging from -20°C to 85°C. Both graphs show the load capacity remains at 100% within the specified operating temperature ranges.]

Static Characteristic

[Graph Description: A graph titled "STATIC CHARACTERISTIC". The Y-axis shows 'LOAD (%)' from 40% to 100%. The X-axis shows 'INPUT VOLTAGE (V)' from 180V to 295V. The graph indicates that the load capacity is 100% across the specified input voltage range.]

De-rating is needed under low input voltage.

Two lines represent different input voltages: 230V and 277V. The PF remains high, above 0.95 for 230V and above 0.92 for 277V, across the tested load range.]

Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)

Two lines represent different input voltages: 230VAC and 277VAC. THD is generally below 20% for 230VAC and below 15% for 277VAC within the tested load range.]

Efficiency vs Load

The IDLV-65 series possesses superior working efficiency that up to 90% can be reached in field applications.

Block Diagram

[Diagram Description: The block diagram illustrates the internal components and signal flow of the IDLV-65 series LED driver. Input power (I/P) first goes through an EMI Filter & Rectifiers. This is followed by an O.L.P. (Over Load Protection) and Power Switching stage, controlled by a PWM&PFC Control block. The output stage includes Rectifiers & Filter, a Current Limit, and a Detection Circuit. The outputs are Vo+, Vo-, DIM+, DIM-, and for A-Type models, AUX+ and AUX-.]
