THE MR16 AND MAINS
INFRASTRUCTURE OPPORTUNITY
• Electronic transformers typically require 20Watts or more of resistive
loads to FUNCTION CORRECTLY
• Electronic transformer used require correct load to maintain
oscillation, capacitances greater than 100pF can stall the inverter
• Inverters have over-current detection, currents exceeding this cause
temporary shutdown.
• Typical energy saving products implement standard diode based
rectifiers with capacitance for stable operation and EMC.
• Inrush currents can exceed 15Amps when inverters first start,
stalling oscillation and damaging rectifiers, causing early failure in
both transformers energy saving globes.

LEADING EDGE / TRIAC DIMMERS
Leading edge dimmers require minimum current draw to ensure the TRIAC
“latches” and does not misfire which will cause the LED to strobe and flicker.
The current must flow through the LAMP and the DIMMER.

TRAILING EDGE / ELECTRONIC
DIMMERS
Trailing edge dimmers require minimum current draw to ensure the internal
electronics have enough power to remain alive. Without a minimum load
current draw they brown out and misfire which will cause the LED to strobe and
flicker. The current must flow through the LAMP and the DIMMER.

COMPETITOR LED DRIVER WITH
BLEEDER CIRCUIT
The active bleeder circuit is
required for most LED drivers
to ensure the dimmer remains
alive during AC zero crossing
Peak current
spike is 600mA
which reduces the
number of LED
lamps that can be
put in parallel on a
dimmer

INDICE MAINS LED DRIVER –

NO active bleeder necessary. Indice topology appears like a BOOST
constantly drawing current

Transformer detect – Why is it
necessary?
The INDICE0002 MR16 driver IC contains transformer
detect which senses whether it is connected to an
electronic or magnetic transformer. This is necessary as
they are fundamentally different in construction and require
different modes of operation.
Electronic transformer – simplified schematic
Magnetic transformer – equivalent circuit
www.indicesemi.com
Transformer detect – How it works
The INDICE0002 MR16 driver switches ON a capacitor
when connected to a magnetic transformer and OFF for an
electronic transformer. This reduces over voltage spikes on
magnetic transformers that can cause EMI and damage to
the MR16 bulb.
Without Transformer detect Vpeak ~38V
With transformer detect - Vpeak ~18.5V

Relative light output
Relative light output
The INDICE MR16 driver includes deep dimming which
reduces the light output at low dimmer angles to give the
effect of turning off on most dimmers. This also helps with
low level flicker present on some dimmer systems.

Power Normalisation
Some electronic transformers have a narrow power
envelope. The Indice MR16 driver compensates for this by
drawing more power during the transformer “ON” time
which keeps the light output more consistent across
different models of electronic transformers.

IC Temp
Input Power
All INDICE LED driver IC contains a temperature sensor
and control system that tracks to a maximum temperature
set point. The user can adjust this with a simple resistor
divider. Many LED drivers are contained within the heat
sink where ventilation is difficult and its possible for the
lamp to run at elevated temperatures that will lead to
premature life of the product.
INPUT LINE FREQUENCY - MR16 and
Mains IC’s
The INDICE0002, INDICE00A2 MR16 LED driver IC’s and
INDICE0101 Mains LED driver IC’s are NOT dependant on
input line frequency and will dim on a wide variety of 50Hz
or 60Hz sources.
Certain dimmer manufacturers have designed in
dependence on the line frequency so their dimmers are
only useable on 50Hz or 60Hz systems.
There are dimmers available that do work on 50Hz/60Hz
systems.

INPUT LINE FREQUENCY - LEADING
EDGE / TRIAC DIMMERS
Many manufacturers of leading edge dimmers use a RESISTOR and
CAPACITOR time constant that is specific for the line frequency. The RC time
constant, if not matched correctly will time out prematurely to the AC zero
crossing event causing flicker. Such dimmers can only be used on 50Hz or
60Hz systems.

INPUT LINE FREQUENCY - TRAILING
EDGE / ELECTRONIC DIMMERS
Many manufacturers of trailing edge dimmers use a RESISTOR and
CAPACITOR time constant or delay circuit (sometimes software) that that is
specific for the line frequency. The RC time constant, if not matched correctly
will time out prematurely to the AC zero crossing event causing flicker. Such
dimmers can only be used on 50Hz or 60Hz systems.
